Recently, not only the integration of product data during design and production but also effective management of information during full lifecycles has been attracted by both shipyards and ship owners due to the recycling regulation and efficient operation. Generally, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) supports the collaborative environment during BOL (Begin of Life) stage, while PALM(Product & Asset Lifecycle Management) of EALM(Enterprise Asset Lifecycle Management) system provides all the information required to maintain, overhaul, and discard/recycle all the part of the vessel during the MOL(Middle of Life) and EOL(End of Life) stage. The main goal of this paper is to suggest the fundamental configuration of PALM system and technique that can be used to utilize marine vessel’s lifecycle information during the MOL emphasizing the PEID (Product Embedded Information Device). Authors also have suggested a configuration of PALM system in which lifecycle information can be collected by PEID integrated by micro computer, sensors, and network communication. Through the prototype system of PALM, suggested features of PALM system are implemented.
