SpecTec AMOS vs SupaMaritime: An Honest Comparison
An established, highly configurable maintenance and asset management system compared with SupaMaritime's simpler modules for ferry, merchant and port-agency teams.
Free 30-minute demo · No commitment
SpecTec's AMOS is a long-established maintenance and asset management system for shipping and offshore, covering planned maintenance, purchasing, inventory, dry-docking and quality and safety management. It is widely used on commercial fleets and well known to superintendents and chief engineers.
SupaMaritime, built by SupaSailing S.L. in Palma de Mallorca, is a set of separate web apps for commercial operators. Ferry and Merchant cover planned maintenance and work orders by calendar or running hours, the equipment register and onboard inventory, defects, crew certificates with expiry alerts, hours of rest checked against MLC and STCW limits, and ISM, ISPS, SOLAS or MARPOL records. Agent covers the port-agency side: port calls, PDA/FDA disbursement accounts, crew changes and deliveries. Each module is its own app with its own database, hosted in the UK (London) with application servers in Paris, under a GDPR Data Processing Agreement. Ferry and Merchant have a free plan and a Pro plan at €199 per vessel per month plus VAT; Agent is quoted on request.
The overlap is planned maintenance, inventory and compliance records. AMOS is a deep, highly configurable maintenance and purchasing system; SupaMaritime is simpler, keeps crew certificates and hours of rest in the same app, and has a separate port-agency module. SupaMaritime has no public API or webhooks for these modules, no on-premise option and no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, and it does not do predictive maintenance, emissions reporting (CII, EEXI, FuelEU, EU MRV), voyage planning or chartering.

When SpecTec AMOS is the better choice
SpecTec AMOS is the better choice when you run a fleet with complex, highly customised maintenance and purchasing processes, need dry-dock planning and detailed parts catalogue management, need on-premise deployment or integrations with an ERP, or already have years of history in AMOS. SupaMaritime does not do dry-dock project planning, predictive maintenance, on-premise deployment or integrations through a public API.
When SupaMaritime is the better choice
SupaMaritime can fit better for ferry and merchant operators who want planned maintenance by calendar or running hours, onboard inventory where parts used come off stock, defects, crew certificates, MLC/STCW hours of rest and ISM, ISPS, SOLAS or MARPOL records in one browser-based app, starting on a free plan with published Pro pricing (€199 per vessel per month plus VAT). It is also relevant when a port agency in your group needs port calls and PDA/FDA disbursement accounts, which the Agent module covers.

Frequently asked questions
Is SupaMaritime a replacement for SpecTec AMOS?
For ferry and merchant operators with straightforward maintenance and inventory needs it can be. For fleets that depend on AMOS for complex purchasing, dry-dock planning or deep configuration, SupaMaritime is a simpler product and not a like-for-like replacement.
We already run AMOS. Should we switch?
Not necessarily. If AMOS works for your technical team, moving years of maintenance history has a real cost. SupaMaritime makes more sense where you want crew certificates, hours of rest and compliance records alongside maintenance in one simpler app, or need a port-agency module. Send us your list of workflows and we will tell you honestly.
How much does SupaMaritime cost?
Ferry and Merchant have a free plan with the dashboard, up to 50 contacts, 10 inventory items and 10 documents, no credit card required. Pro costs €199 per vessel per month plus VAT (€2,388 per vessel per year) and includes 5 crew seats per vessel; larger fleets can ask for a custom quote. Agent has no free plan and is quoted on request.
Where is SupaMaritime data hosted and how is it secured?
Application servers are in Paris and the Ferry, Merchant and Agent databases are in London, UK, which has an EU adequacy decision. A GDPR Data Processing Agreement is part of the terms every customer accepts. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by the hosting providers, access is role-based and scoped by organisation and vessel with row-level security, and multi-factor authentication is available. Databases are backed up daily and backups are kept for 7 days. SupaMaritime does not hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
Can SupaMaritime connect to SpecTec AMOS?
There is no standard connector and no public API for Ferry, Merchant or Agent. You can export data from SupaMaritime as CSV, JSON or XLSX, and files in their original format, at any time, and you have at least 30 days after the contract ends to retrieve it, with no export fee. Importing data from another system, onboarding and training are provided only if your order form includes them.
