Digital logbook app for ferries and passenger vessels.
Each sailing logged with passenger numbers, times and anything unusual, spoken by the master between runs.
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. Typing into a phone with wet hands or gloves on is why digital logbooks go unused. Voice capture at the helm is what keeps the log current.
What it covers for
ferry operators
A digital logbook app for commercial boats: skippers speak the entry at the helm, and it is written, dated and saved against the vessel.
- Voice entries written for the skipper to check
- Departure, arrival, persons on board and engine hours
- Weather, incidents and notes on each trip
- Offline at sea, synced in coverage
- Entries dated and linked to vessel and skipper
- Search and export by vessel and date
Built around how ferry operators work
A paper logbook gets filled in when there is time, which on a working boat is often at the end of the day from memory. We build a logbook app where the skipper talks through departure, persons on board, engine hours, weather and anything that happened, and the entry is written for them to check and save, even out of coverage.
- 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.

Good questions, answered
Does voice entry work on the water?
It is built for noisy, busy conditions and always shows the written entry for the skipper to check before saving. When speaking is not practical, typing does the same job.
Can crew add to an entry?
Yes. Crew can add notes, photos or incidents to a trip, with each addition recorded against the person who made it.
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.
