Fleet overview
Know where every vessel is and what it is doing
One map of the whole fleet with live AIS positions, each vessel's voyage and latest report beside it, and the alerts and expiring documents that need someone today.
The fleet
The whole fleet on one screen
The first page the office opens in the morning: where the vessels are, what they last filed and what is outstanding.
Map
Every vessel placed, and marked by what it is doing
Each vessel sits at its AIS fix, or at the position in its last filed report where it has no fix, and the card says which. Markers show at sea, at anchor or stopped, in port, and off hire or not reporting.
- Fuel the fleet burned in the last 24 hours, by grade
- Open alerts, by severity
- Every vessel's documents, by how close they are to expiry
Roster
A roster that says what each vessel is doing
Every vessel on the register in one table, with what it is doing and when it last said so. Below it, the newest reports filed across the fleet and the most urgent open alerts.
- Activity, voyage, voyage status and ETA
- Last report and when it was filed
- Next dry dock date
One vessel
Open a vessel to see its position and voyage
Each vessel has its own page, with the position and the current voyage on the first tabs.
Position
Where the vessel is, and the weather it reported
The latest AIS fix with the vessel's status, speed, course, draft and destination port. Beside it, the weather from the vessel's latest report, the fuel on board and the speed and consumption filed against what was instructed.
- Wind force in Beaufort, waves and swell in metres, sea and air temperature
- Fuel per 24 h and speed in kn, filed against instructed
- The age of the fix, so a stale position is never read as live
Voyage
Voyage progress, day by day
A timeline from the departure port to the destination with the day of the voyage, and the voyage's own figures: the reports filed, fuel consumed, performance, stores used and crew signed on and off.
- When AIS shows the vessel on a passage with no voyage open, the platform drafts one for you to confirm
- ETA from the latest report, or the one the master broadcast on AIS, and marked as such
Where it starts
The rest comes from the vessel's own reports
AIS gives the position. Everything else on the map, from weather to fuel to the voyage's figures, is what the crew filed on the tablet on board.
On board
The noon report, filed on the bridge
The bridge files position, distance run, speed, consumption and weather on the vessel's tablet, with or without a connection. Once it reaches the platform, the fleet overview moves with it.
Questions
What superintendents ask about the fleet overview
Where do the positions come from?
From the AIS feed, where the vessel has a fix. Where it has none, from the position in its last filed report, and the vessel's card says which one you are looking at.
Do we need to fit anything on board for the positions?
No. Positions come from AIS. The tablet is only needed for the vessel's own reports.
Is the weather a forecast?
No. It is the weather the vessel reported: wind force, waves, swell, sea and air temperature from its latest report.
How do we know a vessel has stopped reporting?
The roster shows when each vessel last filed, and a missing report raises an alert naming the role that has not filed. The alert closes itself once that role files again.
Can owners see the fleet without opening a laptop?
Yes. Owners can follow the fleet on their phone as well as in the web app.
Also on the platform
Where this connects
Onboard reporting
The bridge and engine room file their reports on a tablet that works offline; the office reads them the moment they land.
