What is PMS?Planned maintenance system
A planned maintenance system (PMS) schedules and records all routine maintenance on a yacht, based on calendar intervals, running hours and manufacturer recommendations.
A PMS lists every piece of equipment, the jobs due on it and how often, who did each job, and what was found. It reminds the crew before work is due and keeps a history that stays with the yacht when engineers change.
Class societies and flag administrations expect a working maintenance system, and a good maintenance history also supports insurance and resale value.
