NetSuite ERP
for Marine & Offshore Services
Marine and offshore companies across the Middle East are managing vessel operations, crew, project costs, and maintenance across disconnected systems. NetSuite ERP for Marine & Offshore Services is built to bring all of it into one platform.
Explore Case Studies
Most marine businesses are tracking vessel OPEX manually, managing crew separately from payroll, and running project costs outside finance. NetSuite implemented by Azdan is:
Vessel-ready
Project-costing native
Compliance-connected
Vessel Management, Maintenance & Crew Operations
NetSuite ERP for Marine & Offshore Services tracks every vessel as a financial and operational asset — with planned and unplanned maintenance, spare parts management, crew scheduling, flag state compliance, and OPEX tracking all connected to finance inside NetSuite.
Vessel asset register — OPEX, maintenance history, and lifecycle cost per vessel- Planned and unplanned maintenance — work orders, drydock scheduling, and spare parts
- Crew management — scheduling, certifications, payroll, and flag state compliance
- Procurement and inventory — marine spares, chandlery, and bunkering connected to finance
Who it’s for
Fleet managers, marine superintendents, and operations teams at vessel-owning and vessel-operating companies managing multi-asset fleets across the Middle East and beyond.
Outcome
Every vessel tracked, every maintenance schedule managed, and every OPEX cost visible — connected directly to finance inside NetSuite.
Offshore Project Costing & Charter Management
Offshore project costs, charter contracts, and client billing all run inside NetSuite ERP for Marine — with day-rate and milestone-based invoicing, cost-to-complete tracking, subcontractor management, and real-time project P&L connected to the vessel and crew consuming those costs.
- Project cost tracking — OPEX and CAPEX by vessel, project, and cost center
- Charter contract management — day rates, voyage terms, and billing schedules
- Milestone and day-rate invoicing — connected to project completion and vessel deployment
- Subcontractor and marine service provider management with cost tracking
Who it’s for
Project and commercial managers at offshore services companies handling multiple vessel deployments and client contracts simultaneously.
Outcome
Every project cost tracked, every charter billed on time, and every vessel P&L visible in real time.
Finance, Procurement & Regional Compliance
Multi-entity consolidation, procurement, crew payroll, and finance all run inside NetSuite ERP for Marine & Offshore Services — with regional e-invoicing compliance across UAE, KSA, Egypt, and Jordan built in natively and GCC-compliant payroll covering all seafarer and shore-based staff.

FAQ
Common Questions About Marine & Offshore ERP
We've implemented NetSuite across marine and offshore companies managing vessel fleets, crew operations, and project costs across the Middle East — here's what operations and finance leaders ask before committing.
Get to Know More
Can NetSuite track OPEX, maintenance history, and lifecycle costs per vessel across an entire fleet?
Yes. NetSuite maintains a full vessel asset register — logging every maintenance event, spare part, and cost against each vessel, giving fleet managers live OPEX visibility per asset.
How does NetSuite manage planned maintenance and drydock scheduling across multiple vessels simultaneously?
NetSuite runs planned maintenance schedules and drydock work orders per vessel — triggering tasks automatically by time or condition, with spare parts and procurement connected to each job.
Can crew scheduling, certifications, and flag state compliance all be managed inside NetSuite?
Yes. Crew rotations, certification expiry alerts, and flag state compliance requirements are tracked inside NetSuite — connected directly to payroll so crewing and finance run from one platform.
How does NetSuite handle charter contract billing — day rates, voyage terms, and milestone invoicing?
Charter contracts, day rates, and billing schedules are managed inside NetSuite — with invoices generated automatically on confirmed vessel deployment or milestone completion, connected to project P&L.
Can we track project costs, subcontractor spend, and cost-to-complete across multiple offshore deployments?
Yes. NetSuite tracks OPEX and CAPEX per vessel, project, and cost center in real time — with subcontractor POs and marine service provider costs linked directly to each offshore project.
Can multi-entity marine groups consolidate financials across vessel-owning, operating, and management companies?
Yes. NetSuite consolidates all entities — vessel-owning SPVs, operating companies, and management arms — with automated intercompany eliminations and group P&L visible in real time.
How long does implementation take for a marine company with vessel operations, projects, and crew management in scope?
A full marine implementation covering vessel management, project costing, crew operations, and finance typically runs 14 to 22 weeks — depending on fleet size, entity count, and integration complexity.
How does Azdan migrate vessel records, maintenance histories, crew data, and open project costs from legacy systems?
Azdan extracts and transforms all operational data — vessel registers, maintenance logs, crew records, and open POs — validating everything before controlled loading into the live NetSuite environment.
Can vessel operations and active project billing continue uninterrupted during the implementation?
Yes. Azdan phases the rollout to keep active charters, maintenance schedules, and billing running throughout — with cutover planned during a low-activity window and full hypercare support at go-live.
How does Azdan configure marine-specific workflows like drydock scheduling, port disbursements, and bunkering procurement?
All workflows are configured natively using SuiteScript and SuiteFlow. Azdan maps every marine operational requirement to existing NetSuite capabilities before any custom development is scoped.
How do fleet managers, marine superintendents, and finance teams get onboarded onto NetSuite?
Azdan delivers role-specific training for operations, crewing, procurement, and finance teams separately — ensuring each group is productive within their own workflows from day one.
What happens when a new vessel, entity, or offshore project needs to be added after go-live?
NetSuite scales within the same platform — new vessels, entities, and projects are added without replatforming. Azdan manages all post-go-live expansions through a structured delivery process.
