PROSPECTIVE DIRECTIONS AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO MANAGING THE CARGO VESSEL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

Shipping is a key sector of Ukraine's economy, playing an important role in the development of international trade and ensuring the efficient movement of goods. However, the shipping industry is facing a number of challenges, such as increased competition, regulatory restrictions, and high demands on safety and environmental sustainability. One of the main aspects that affects the performance of cargo ships is the efficiency of maintenance and operation systems. The article discusses promising areas for improving the management of the cargo ship maintenance system to increase the efficiency of fleet operation, ensure safety of navigation and achieve sustainable development of shipping companies. The analysis shows that one of the major and still unresolved issues is the management of ship maintenance systems, in particular, cargo ships. The purpose of the article is to review the experience and prospects in developing and implementing effective strategies for managing cargo ship maintenance systems, considering the specifics of the industry and modern scientific and technological achievements. Results. The general methods of managing maintenance processes are investigated and intelligent advisory systems are considered that will allow shipping companies to optimize their resources and achieve competitive advantages in the global transportation market. Conclusions. To ensure the successful development of the shipping industry in Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure the harmonious coexistence of technology, science, education, and government support. This will contribute to the sustainable development of water transport and strengthen the position of Ukrainian shipping in the global transportation market. The application of science-based approaches to the analysis of cargo ship maintenance and technical operation systems can help identify the causes of the decline in fleet efficiency and develop effective strategies to overcome them. Thus, the integration of scientific methods into the practice of managing cargo ship maintenance systems can contribute to the improvement of both the level of shipping safety and maritime transport efficiency and the sustainable development of shipping companies.
