Russian Shipping Register to Increase Efficiency of Applications Processing

Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) will implement a new system of internal documents and tasks management.

In recent years, the number of applications and requests from ship owners to RS has significantly increased. The new system will speed up and simplify the applications and requests processing thus increasing efficiency of information exchange, management and access, as well as minimising its loss. The uniform system will connect the RS divisions in 34 countries.

According to the RS first Chief Operating Officer Igor Baranov, “RS annually processes around 60 000 documents. Timely implementation of the corporate document management system will provide reliable and effective document control at all stages and will significantly benefit the RS clients”.

The first phase of the project implementation includes docflow automatisation in 25 RS branch offices in Europe and Saint Petersburg.
