Our building management systems form the technical heart of modern ship automation. They monitor, measure and control all relevant on-board systems in real time. Through intelligent integration with alarm and energy management systems, we ensure safe, efficient and fully controlled operation.
We design and implement Building Management Systems (BMS), which form the technical heart of modern ship automation. Our solutions monitor, measure and control all relevant on-board systems in real time – from the continuous collection of sensor data to the precise control of actuators. In the event of critical situations, our system intervenes actively and reliably to ensure safety and operational continuity at all times. Through intelligent integration with higher-level alarm and energy management systems, we lay the foundations for safe, efficient and continuously monitored ship operations.
A ship management system, or Building Management System (BMS) – often referred to in German as ‘Gebäudeleittechnik’ (GLT) – is a centralised platform for controlling, monitoring and optimising all technical systems. This encompasses the automation of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and security systems on board, as well as the monitoring of energy consumption as part of an energy management system. For safe, comfortable and efficient ship operations.
We support your project from the system design stage right through to the final handover of the plant.
We draw up the automation concept for your BMS, define monitoring parameters, threshold values and system architecture. This is tailored to the technical installations, the automation concept and the classification requirements.
We integrate the necessary sensor and control technology to monitor the HVAC, lighting and media systems.
The BMS is connected to the higher-level alarm, monitoring and energy management system, so that all ship operating and automation data can be viewed centrally on the bridge and in the engine control room.
We are commissioning the system and checking all safety and alarm functions.
As a specialist firm in ship automation, ROMV regards the ship management system as the overarching system on board, which centrally monitors and controls safety, media and lighting systems, as well as technical installations (HVAC), across all systems. We are familiar with the requirements of classification societies and shipping companies regarding technical installations and implement our systems accordingly – reliably, with full documentation and in compliance with classification standards.
✓ Maximum safety through continuous monitoring of measured values
✓ Maximum clarity thanks to the display of all technical systems on board
✓ Early alerts in the event of critical readings and deviations in readings
✓ Seamless integration into existing ship automation and energy management systems
✓ Systems certified by classification societies in accordance with the specifications of recognised classification societies
✓ A single point of contact from the planning stage right through to final acceptance
Our ship management system is designed and implemented in accordance with internationally applicable standards, including the IMO’s SOLAS regulations and the rules and regulations of recognised classification societies such as DNV and German Lloyd’s Register. In this way, we ensure that your system can be operated in a class-compliant, safe, sustainable and properly documented manner.

Tell us about your vessel type, its technical systems and energy concept, and we will advise you on suitable BMS solutions.
Development of the system architecture, list of parameters and quotation.
Installation of switchgear and monitoring systems, field technology, cabling and fitting on board.
Configuration of monitoring logic, alarm systems, integration of ship automation, lighting and media technology.
Functional testing and documentation.
A dedicated Building Management System (BMS) – often referred to on ships as a ship management system – is essential because all energy management, climate control and safety functions must be controlled autonomously, with the utmost reliability and without external assistance whilst at sea.
The BMS is connected to the higher-level alarm and energy management system via appropriate interfaces (e.g. Modbus, CAN bus, LON bus).
Yes, we inspect existing on-board systems and upgrade or modernise them where necessary, for example whilst the vessel is in dry dock.
