Keep the logbook, maintenance and crew records audit ready

Commercial vessels in New Zealand run under an approved safety system, usually MOSS, and every trip, maintenance job and crew change needs a record behind it. We build tools that capture those records at the helm and in the workshop, keep them current and pull them together when the auditor calls.

A better AI tool for vessel operators, built around how you work.

Off-the-shelf software is built for the average vessel operator. We build a tool around how yours actually works, as a web, iOS and Android app, on our own post-trained models where they fit.

  • A voice logbook at the helm

    The skipper talks through the trip and the tool writes the logbook entry: departure, persons on board, engine hours, weather and anything that happened.

  • A crew hours of rest tracker

    Crew check on and off duty on their phone, and the tool warns before anyone breaks the rest limits set in your safety system.

  • A certificate reader

    Photograph a survey certificate, licence or safety equipment service record, and the tool reads the expiry date and reminds you before it lapses.

Runs alongside your vessel management software today, or takes its place when that suits you better.

Everything included,
nothing bolted on.

Every build starts with a fixed-scope conversation, no surprise line items after the fact.

  • Voice and typed logbook entries
  • Capture offline at sea, sync back in coverage
  • Maintenance scheduled by engine hours or date
  • Crew certificate and medical expiry tracking
  • Hours of rest checks with early warnings
  • Survey and safety certificate reading from photos
  • Drill, incident and near miss records
  • Audit packs by vessel and date range

The build itself, not a proof of concept.

  • Voice logbook at the helm

    The skipper talks through the trip and the entry is written for them: departure and arrival, persons on board, engine hours, weather and any incident, ready to check and save.

  • Maintenance by hours and dates

    Engine, hull and safety equipment tasks scheduled by engine hours or calendar dates, with overdue and due soon work flagged before the boat goes out.

  • Crew certificates and hours of rest

    Tickets, medicals and inductions tracked per crew member, and duty time checked against the rest limits in your safety system before anyone is rostered past them.

  • Audit and review packs

    Logbook entries, completed maintenance, drills and crew records pulled together for a vessel and date range, ready for your MOSS audit or an internal review.

FAQ

That is how we build it. Entries, checks and photos are captured on the phone or tablet at sea and sync back when the vessel is in coverage again.

No. We can build the tool to sit alongside the software you run today and keep it updated, or build it as your main system if that suits your operation better. We work that out with you first.

You do. The limits come from your own safety system and the rules that apply to your operation. The tool checks duty time against them and warns early, but it is not compliance advice.

Usually the logbook, because it is used every trip and everything else hangs off it. Maintenance and crew records follow once the skippers are using it day to day.

Let's chat

The logbook, maintenance and crew records stay current from the boat itself, so audit preparation is a report you run rather than a week in the office.
