Bureau Veritas Certifies Everllence’s Digital Monitoring Solution, “PrimeServ Assist”

Type Approval Certification streamlines access to SMART(MH3) additional class notation for Bureau Veritas classed vessels

Everllence has been awarded Smartship Software Type Approval Certification (TAC) and Smart Service Supplier recognition by Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) for its PrimeServ Assist services, confirming compliance with the requirements for the SMART(MH3) additional class notation. 

SMART(MH3) is an optional class notation awarded by BV to vessels equipped with advanced digital technologies that enhance operational efficiency, safety, maintenance strategies and decision making, effectively classifying vessels as “augmented ships”.

With this recognition, Everllence can significantly shorten the pathway for BV-classed vessels seeking SMART(MH3) additional class notation. The SmartShip software Type Approval covers approximately 80% of the required verification, validation and documentation, leaving only vessel specific elements to be completed by the shipowners to achieve full class approval.

Scope of Certification
The certification was granted as part of the classification of two newbuilds built for Wah Kwong Maritime Transport.

As part of the approval process, BV reviewed and audited Everllence’s:

•           CEON cloud platform supporting PrimeServ Assist
•           PrimeServ Assist monitoring and advisory service for both two stroke and four stroke engines
•           Two stroke Remote Operation Centres, with four stroke capabilities to follow.

Hare Ram Sah, General Manager, Venture Marine Services, Wah Kwong Group, said: “We are proud to have played a connecting role – bringing the maker, class and stakeholders together to achieve this milestone. By translating vessel data into clear, visual insights and a shared operational view, the system helps crew and shore-based teams make faster, more informed decisions while driving practical improvements in efficiency and safety."

Stig Holm, Head of Marine & Power, Digital & Academies, Denmark, Everllence, said: “The digitalization of the maritime world is accelerating and customer interest from Wah Kwong helped drive this initiative with Bureau Veritas. SMART(MH3) additional class notation enables shipowners to document their use of a class-approved Smart System, making vessel operation more efficient and timely while minimizing off-hire. It also positions Everllence as a leader in maritime digitalization as the very first engine designer and manufacturer, and the first engine designer and manufacturer to receive Smartship Software Type Approval Certification from Bureau Veritas.”
