Compliance
Keep every certificate, survey and crew paper ahead of its date
Certificates and documents with their versions and expiry, a survey calendar worked out from the certificates, dry dock planning, and crew papers and hours of rest against the MLC, for every vessel.
Certificates and surveys
Add a certificate once, with its dates. A renewal is filed as its next version, and the surveys it needs appear on the vessel's calendar.
Surveys and dry dock
The survey calendar, worked out from the certificates
Annual, intermediate, periodical and renewal survey windows are computed from each certificate's dates under IMO HSSC 2025. The due dates the class states, with any extension, sit beside them.
- Conditions of class and recommendations, soonest due first
- Bottom inspections counted under HSSC 2025, and the enhanced survey programme where it applies
- Dockings done and planned: the yard, the budget, the actual cost, the work done and the report
- What the next docking must deal with, and the days left to it
- Lifting appliances: the yearly thorough examination and the five-yearly load test
Crew and the MLC
Papers, tours and hours of rest are kept for each seafarer, and checked against the Maritime Labour Convention.
Crew
Papers, hours of rest and manning
Passports, seaman's books and certificates of competency are listed most urgent first. Hours of rest are recorded on board and judged against the MLC minimums: 10 hours in any 24, and 77 in any 7 days.
- Rest breaches shown for each seafarer, excused only for an emergency or a drill
- Crew on board, rank by rank, against the Minimum Safe Manning Document
- The vessel's Maritime Labour Certificate, both DMLC parts and both financial securities on file
- Each seafarer's continuous time on board against the company's maximum
Alerts
Warned while there is time to act
Alert rules turn the dates here into a warning before they are missed, and a critical alert when they are close.
- Certificates entering their reminder window, and expired documents with nothing to replace them
- Statutory survey windows open or missed, class surveys and conditions of class falling due
- Hours of rest below the minimum, and fewer on board than the safe manning requires
Questions owners ask
Do we enter every survey date by hand?
No. Add each certificate with its dates, and its annual, intermediate, periodical and renewal surveys appear on the calendar. Record each survey there when it is held.
What about surveys the class or the flag requires?
Enter them from the class survey status report or the letter, with any extension granted. Our date for the same survey shows beside each one.
What happens when a certificate is renewed?
The new certificate is filed as the next version of the old one, and its surveys start a new calendar from its dates.
Where are hours of rest recorded?
On board, on the tablet, which works offline. The office sees each seafarer's rest and any breach of the MLC minimums.
Can we give customs a list of the bonded stores?
Yes. The customs declaration lists every bonded item with the quantity on board, with the vessel, its port and the date, ready to print.
