OUR DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
A toolbox for faster and smarter compliance
Achieving compliance, safety and exceptional performance for ships and offshore units is a collective effort, bringing together owners and operators, shipyards, designers, regulators and many others. For industry players, this presents a unique challenge: how to efficiently organize, manage and share up-to-date data with multiple stakeholders.
To meet this need, Bureau Veritas has developed digital platforms to help shipyards, manufacturers, owners and operators achieve class and statutory compliance. These platforms help stakeholders collaborate efficiently, achieve and maintain compliance, boost efficiency, reduce costs and improve sustainability. Our digital solutions cover everything from design review to surveys of in-service assets, taking a smarter approach to classification. We regularly update our digital tools, ensuring clients benefit from the latest innovations, including AI, digital twins and robotics.

OUR DIGITAL APPLICATIONS AND SOFTWARE FOR CLASS & STATUTORY COMPLIANCE
From 3D design to data collection, to remote surveys, the maritime world is becoming increasingly digital. Shipowners, managers, yards, designers and equipment manufacturers have more information to manage than ever before, and face a growing list of operational and environmental regulations.
Bureau Veritas’ software solutions and digital applications for ships and offshore units crucially organize and manage asset information in a virtual environment. Asset owners can manage design and operations, energy and fuel optimization, surveys and maintenance, certifications and more, at any time, from anywhere in the world.
MOVE – Client Collaboration Platform
With MOVE, Bureau Veritas’ smart hub for shipping applications, shipowners and flag authorities can access all vessel information in one convenient place. MOVE collects applications for class and statutory activities and technical advisory services, enabling shipowners to digitally connect their internal systems with Bureau Veritas and making fleet compliance much easier to achieve.
VeriSTAR Green – GHG Emissions Reporting Platform
To meet IMO, EU and UK GHG emissions targets, shipowners must comply with reporting frameworks including the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), Emissions Trading System (ETS), and FuelEU Maritime. VeriSTAR Green is a Bureau Veritas platform that empowers shipowners, operators and charterers to report emissions data for verification, manage compliance, and navigate the transition to reduced emissions.
VeriSTAR Equipment – Equipment Surveys & Certification
Our VeriSTAR Equipment platform is a one-stop shop to manage equipment certifications. Users can request surveys, select and download certifications and contact Bureau Veritas throughout the process. The platform also connects to our Approval Explorer application, enabling users to manage how certificates are displayed.
BV Class Rules, Rules Notes & Guidance Notes Explorer
Bureau Veritas develops and regularly updates classification Rules, Rule notes and guidance notes that maritime players need to stay safe and compliant. The Bureau Veritas Rules Explorer houses more than 130 technical publications, including the latest in classification and certification guidance, free and available for download.
With its user-friendly and intuitive design, advanced features (including a smart search engine, mobile responsiveness, and offline capability), and embedded AI assistant, Rules Explorer illustrates how Bureau Veritas’ digital solutions are evolving to ease the client journey toward compliance.
Approval Explorer – Service Suppliers & Product Manufacturers
Compliance with class requirements is essential from construction through operations. To achieve this, shipyards and designers need access to certified equipment and manufacturers, and shipowners must find approved equipment and personnel to survey and service their ships when arriving at port. With our Approval Explorer application, stakeholders can easily identify, locate and contact Bureau Veritas-approved product manufacturers and service suppliers around the world.
Rules and Engineering Software
Bureau Veritas’ full suite of software solutions enables marine and offshore asset owners to optimize design and achieve regulatory compliance. Our user-friendly solutions are developed around key Rules, regulations, and industrial standards, and supported by teams of experienced developers and engineers worldwide.
DIGITAL CLASSIFICATION
Ship classification has traditionally been a manual process, with experts reviewing 2D design plans and assessing on-site operations in person. For shipowners, this is often time-consuming, cost-intensive and logistically complex, requiring seamless collaboration across multiple stakeholders.
With digital classification, Bureau Veritas offers digital operating modes and services, including 3D classification, digital twins, aerial drones, livestreaming, data-optimized survey systems and AI to manage classification quickly, safely and cost-effectively.
3D classification | Digital classification is bringing design review into the digital age, replacing 2D drawings with complete 3D models of maritime assets. Users can already perform calculations, exchange information and address classification comments for hull structures, and Bureau Veritas will soon add 3D classification for fire safety, stability and machinery systems. |
Remote surveys | Digital classification enables shipowners to move from physical to partially or fully remote surveys, using live-streaming solutions to make decisions about their vessels. In choosing remote surveys, shipowners and operators can reduce disturbances to ship operations, increase safety and facilitate ship inspection and maintenance. |
Data-optimized survey frameworks | Digital classification facilitates the implementation of optimized survey frameworks such as the Planned Maintenance Survey System (PMS). Our Machinery Maintenance platform connects a ship operator's Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) with Bureau Veritas systems, facilitating the preparation, validation and implementation of a PMS through a guided digital workflow. |
Supporting beyond class
Bureau Veritas is committed to helping marine and offshore industry players improve asset performance, achieve compliance, and reduce their environmental footprint. To do this, we provide digital resources that enable clients to reach their commercial and environmental goals.
