Abstract: Ship and offshore structure often work
in very severe environment. Therefore routine inspection and
maintenance are essential to keep ship structure and equipment in
good state, and can decrease the possibility of sea pollution and
safety problems. Besides that, the activity of inspection and
maintenance is also directly connected with cost control and
condition assessment. Current inspection is still mainly based on
paper and pen, so it is rather time-consuming for transferring
inspection data from paper to computer system, and more difficult to
make calculation based on the inspection records. In this paper, the
concept of information integration model and inspection support
system using mobile device is introduced. The structuralized data in
the information integration model offer much convenience to data
transferring. The inspection support system consists of one
headquarter management subsystem and one inspector handling
subsystem. A mechanism of data exchange between the two subsystems
is developed based on standard inspection workflow.~The headquarter
subsystem works on computer, and the inspector subsystem is mobile
application instead of paper and pen. Versatile tests and platform
experiments are carried out to demonstrate and confirm the
feasibility and validity.
