The challenge
Porto di Andora is a well-established Ligurian marina with a mature operational team. The challenge was not technology adoption per se — it was knowledge concentration. Critical operational information was distributed across personal notebooks, individual memory, and disconnected spreadsheets. When a key staff member was unavailable, operational continuity was compromised.
The marina’s management had been discussing a structured asset management approach for years. The barrier was not willingness but cost and complexity: traditional CMMS or port management systems required multi-year implementation cycles and investments disproportionate to the marina’s scale.
Phase 3 deployment
HarbourMate Phase 3 — the Single Source of Truth layer — was deployed following an established Phase 1 Digital Map. The existing georeferenced map became the spatial foundation for asset cataloguing: every asset was placed directly on the map, at its precise physical location.
642 assets were catalogued across 11 operational categories: electrical infrastructure, water supply, safety equipment, access control, communications, mooring hardware, lighting, sanitary facilities, commercial services, emergency equipment, and environmental monitoring points. Each asset record includes status, responsible person, maintenance history, and checklist templates.
Operational impact
New staff onboarding, which previously required weeks of informal knowledge transfer, was reduced to a matter of days. The entire operational picture of the marina — every asset, its location, status and maintenance schedule — is accessible from any device by any authorised staff member.
Looking ahead
Porto di Andora is evaluating Phase 4 — the CMMS and planned maintenance layer — which would add automated maintenance scheduling, work order generation and KPI reporting (MTTR, inspection compliance rate, cost per asset) on top of the existing asset catalogue.
