Ship crew management software
Every certificate, contract and rest hour in one record, with the expiry dates in front of you.
Crewing, certificates, MLC rest hours, training and appraisals in the same dataset as your maintenance and statutory compliance. Updated by the master offline, reconciled ashore automatically. From €149 per month, 30-day parallel review.
- Certificate expiry alerts per rank
- MLC 2006 rest-hour checks
- Works with no signal at sea
What crew management has to cover on a real fleet.
Crewing failures rarely come from bad people. They come from a document nobody watched, a relief nobody booked, and rest hours nobody reconciled until the inspector asked.
Seafarer certificates & documents
STCW certificates, flag endorsements, medicals, visas and passports with expiry windows per rank. Alerts fire early enough to arrange a renewal ashore, not at the gangway.
Crew change & rotation planning
Contract end dates, planned relief ports and overdue-onboard flags on one board, sorted by the date each one falls due. The horizon is whatever you have entered — the board does not forecast one for you.
Manning & matrix compliance
Safe manning document requirements checked against who is actually on board, including nationality mix, language and rank-specific endorsements for the trading area.
MLC rest hours & fatigue
Rest-hour records captured on board and checked against STCW and MLC 2006 limits, with the breaches the limits define listed as you record the hours.
Training, drills & appraisals
Training matrix per rank, familiarisation on joining, drill participation from the safety record and appraisals that carry forward to the next contract.
Offline on board
The master updates rest hours, sign-ons and certificates with no connectivity. The sync outbox reconciles with the shore crewing team when the link returns.
One dataset, not three systems
The crew list should change the job list.
Most operators run crewing in one product, planned maintenance in another and compliance in a third, then spend the week before an audit stitching them together. Full Ahead Maritime keeps them as one record: who is on board decides which jobs can be executed, drill attendance is the safety evidence, and a lapsing endorsement is a detention risk on the same dashboard as an overdue survey.
- Certificate expiry feeds the same detention-risk score as statutory surveys.
- Drill participation is captured once and serves crewing, ISM and PSC evidence.
- Rest-hour breaches flag fatigue risk against the jobs planned for that watch.
- Handover notes travel with the rank, so a relief joins with context, not rumour.
Written by a Chief Engineer
I have joined vessels where the rest-hour sheets were filled in for the whole month on the day before the audit, and left ships where a good second engineer could not be relieved because a medical expired unnoticed. Neither is a discipline problem — both are systems problems, and both are cheap to fix.
Ready for the inspection
Crew documents, rest-hour records and training evidence are produced in seconds, indexed by requirement rather than by folder, the same way the QHSE record is.
Crewing is one part of the same record.
