Alerts
See what needs attention across the fleet, worst first
Rules watch every report, position, certificate and crew record. When one is crossed, the alert names the vessel, says what is wrong and links straight to it, until someone signs it off.
Rules you write once
Choose what to watch and the figure that matters to you. A rule watches the whole fleet, vessels added later included, or only the vessels you pick.
Rules
Checks grouped the way the office thinks
Vessel and voyage, fuel and emissions, inventory and stores, certificates and documents, crew, reporting and devices. Each rule asks only for what its check needs: a fuel grade and a tonnage, a number of days, a severity.
- Every alert raised as critical, warning or info
- Switch a rule off without losing it; the alerts it raised stay as they are
- Email on or off for each rule, and each person chooses the vessels they are emailed about
What the platform watches for
Some checks run as soon as a report or record changes. Others run on the clock, because only a clock notices that something has not happened.
Reporting and voyage
Missing reports, drifting consumption, overdue arrivals
The reports the vessel files and its AIS position are checked against the voyage and its instructions.
- A ship's day ends with no complete report, or a report is left in draft
- Consumption or speed runs over the voyage instruction
- The vessel is still at sea past the ETA on its latest report
- AIS shows the vessel moored with no At Berth report, or under way with no COSP
- No AIS position arrives, or a tablet stops making contact
Certificates, surveys and crew
Due dates that must not slip
Dates are watched as they come closer. A certificate's alert is a warning when it enters its reminder window, and turns critical near expiry.
- Certificates expiring, and documents expired with nothing to replace them
- Statutory survey windows, class surveys, conditions of class and bottom inspections falling due
- Hours of rest below the MLC minimum, night work by a seafarer under 18, fewer on board than the safe manning
- A seafarer without a medical certificate or an employment agreement in force
Fuel, emissions and stores
Levels you set, watched for you
Set the level that matters to you, and the alert comes when the vessel reaches it.
- The ROB of a fuel grade falls to the figure you set
- The year's CII rating falls to D or E
- The FuelEU balance projected to the year's end falls below zero, or the EU allowances the year needs rise above a limit
- An item reaches its reorder point, a store is overdue a count, or a requisition waits for approval
From raised to signed off
Each alert keeps its history: when it was raised, when it got worse, and who acted on it. An alert that gets worse is raised to its new severity, never quietly lowered. Each vessel's page has its own alerts tab.
Acknowledge
The office knows it is in hand. Acknowledge one alert, or every alert in the view at once.
Resolve
The problem is dealt with. The alert closes with the name of whoever resolved it.
Dismiss
Not a problem this time. Closed and signed off the same way, so the record shows who decided.
Questions owners ask
Who receives alert emails?
Each user chooses the vessels they are emailed about, and each rule has email on or off. With email off, the rule still raises its alerts in the feed.
Can a rule watch only some vessels?
Yes. Pick the vessels, or leave the list empty to watch the whole fleet, including vessels added later.
Does a resolved alert come back?
No. Resolving and dismissing are final, so the record shows who signed it off. If the problem happens again, the rule raises a new alert.
How does it know a report is missing?
When the vessel's local day ends with no complete report for it, the missing report rule raises an alert for that vessel.
Can I see the alerts of one vessel?
Yes. Each vessel has an alerts tab with its own alerts, worst first, filtered by type and status like the fleet feed.
