Hours of rest app for ferries and passenger vessels.
Shift patterns across early and late sailings checked against rest limits before rosters go out.
Ferry and passenger vessel operators run timetabled sailings where passenger numbers, crew changes and engine hours build up fast. Shift work across early and late sailings makes crew rest and handovers as important as the maintenance programme. Timesheets record hours for pay, after the fact. A fatigue tool has to look ahead at the roster and the trip, which is why it works best built around how your crew actually work.
What it covers for
ferry operators
A crew hours of rest and fatigue app that checks duty time against your own limits and warns before anyone goes past them.
- Crew sign on and off from their phones
- Rest worked out over rolling periods
- Limits set from your own safety system
- Early warnings before a limit is reached
- Roster changes checked before they are confirmed
- Records kept for reviews and audits
Built around how ferry operators work
Fatigue is a safety risk on any vessel, and the time to catch it is before a roster breaks your limits, not in a report afterwards. We build an app where crew sign on and off, rest is worked out across rolling periods against the limits in your safety system, and the skipper and office are warned early enough to change the plan.
- Passenger numbers recorded on every sailing
- Crew handovers between shifts
- High engine hours on tight maintenance windows
- Timetable changes and disruptions recorded
Alongside your vessel software, or instead of it.
We build the tool around how your operation runs, as a web app for the office and an iOS and Android app for the boat, on our own post-trained models where they fit. Keep the software you use today and connect the two, or let the new tool take its place.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Questions ferry operators ask
What limits does it use?
Yours. Limits come from your safety system and the rules that apply to your operation, and are set up in the app. It checks and warns, but it is not compliance advice.
Does it work for crew who move between vessels?
Yes. Rest is tracked per person across every vessel they work on, so time on one boat counts toward the limits on the next.
Can sailing and passenger data come from our ticketing system?
Usually, yes. Sailings and passenger numbers can come in from ticketing, so crew confirm them rather than type them.
How are shift handovers handled?
The outgoing crew's notes, defects and open items are handed to the next crew in the app, so nothing relies on a conversation at the gangway.
