ISO 19848: Standard Data Structure for Ship Machinery

ISO 19848 gives shipboard machinery data a standard structure and naming, so vessel data becomes portable and comparable across systems.

ISO 19848: Standard Data Structure for Ship Machinery

What it is

ISO 19848 is a standard for naming and structuring shipboard machinery data channels, effectively a shared vocabulary for vessel data.

Why it matters

A common structure makes data portable and comparable across vessels, vendors and systems, removing a lot of one-off custom mapping.

How it is used

It is paired with ISO 19847 data servers and provides the basis for consistent analytics across an entire fleet.

The Mind4Ship angle

Aligning to ISO 19848 means Mind4Ship's normalised data model is standards-based and future-proof rather than bespoke per project.
