POMS: An Internet-Based System for Port Maintenance and Management

Maintenance management systems for infrastructure assets have developed step-by-step from simple paper files with the essential inventory data to comprehensive database systems used for registering condition data, managing maintenance works, budgeting, optimisation of the use of limited funds. At the same time the use of the systems has spread from a few specialists to all internal and external bodies involved in the operation and maintenance of structures. Therefore the availability of updated information for all users is becoming ever more important. The 100% web-based management system POMS introduced by RAMBØLL for the management of ports solve the availability problem by keeping all programs and data on a central server and using the Internet and standard web browsers to access data.
