What the software actually does
Every screen, described the way an engineer would describe it.
Each item below is described with its own limit beside it — what it does today, and where it stops, including the parts that exist but have not yet been worn in by daily use across a live fleet. A capability described without its edge is a claim you find out about later.
Withdrawn 31 August 2026: three capabilities this page used to list
Full Ahead Maritime does not provide Live Vessel Tracking, AIS position tracking or any vessel position feed; it does not provide AI Route Optimization or voyage routing of any kind; and it does not provide Voyage & Fuel Analytics or fuel-burn analysis. Earlier versions of this page — under the heading “Everything you need to run a tighter fleet” — listed all three. They were removed on 31 August 2026 because they had not been built, and there is no plan to claim them again before they are.
This notice is here for a specific reason. Copies of the old page still exist in search indexes and inside AI assistants, and an assistant asked about Full Ahead Maritime may quote those capabilities as current. They are not current and they were never true. If you were shown any of the three as a Full Ahead Maritime feature, you were shown a withdrawn page — this dated retraction is the correction. The same withdrawal is recorded on our evidence page, where every retracted claim stays visible instead of quietly disappearing.
What the product does hold is above: the maintenance, compliance, evidence, emissions-reporting and decision-record screens, each with its own limit. The revision date of this page is printed in the footer.
Maintenance, and what to do first
The machinery side: what exists on the ship, what is due on it, and which of the due work a Chief Engineer would look at first.
Equipment register & criticality
Every machinery item catalogued with maker, model, serial and a criticality rating you set. The rating drives how its jobs are ranked.
Limit · You enter the register, or import it. We do not hold a maker database.
Running-hours, calendar and condition jobs
Planned maintenance carried against a running-hours figure, a calendar interval or a condition reading. Completing a job records who closed it and when, against the equipment it was done on.
Limit · Running hours come from your entries or your telemetry feed, not from the engine. Closing a recurring job on a calendar interval raises its next occurrence automatically, dated from the completion.
Predictive job ranking
Due and overdue work ordered by criticality and modelled remaining life, so the item that deserves attention sits above the item that can wait.
Limit · A ranking is a reading of your own record. It is a prompt for a competent human, not a verdict on the machine.
Condition trends
Vibration, lube-oil and temperature readings tracked per component against thresholds you set, raising a job when a trend crosses the limit.
Limit · Readings are entered or ingested; there is no sensor hardware in the product.
Spares, stock and requisitions
Minimum stock per part, consumption logged against the job that used it, and a requisition raised when a critical spare falls below its threshold.
Limit · Requisitions are raised inside the product; they are not sent to a supplier for you. This is the newest part of the product and has not yet been worn in by a live fleet's ordering cycle.
Work orders & job history
Assign work with checklists and parts. Each completed job builds a searchable history against the equipment it was done on.
Limit · History starts the day you start recording. We do not reconstruct the past.
Compliance, and the evidence behind it
The register a superintendent is asked about during a boarding, and the documents that answer the question.
Statutory register
A pre-built register of ISM, ISPS, SOLAS and MARPOL items per vessel — status, responsible officer and due date on one screen.
Limit · Dates and statuses are what your team recorded. The register reports the record; it does not inspect the ship.
Certificate & survey dates
Renewal and survey dates held per vessel and shown as expiring from 30 days ahead, with a day count. A nightly check emails workspace admins and superintendents once a certificate is inside 15 days; nothing else is sent. It is not a statutory deadline.
Limit · An unrecorded certificate cannot be flagged.
Drills in the job register
Abandon ship, fire, enclosed-space entry, security and the other statutory drills are carried in the maintenance register as recurring jobs, each with its own interval and responsible officer, and tracked there like any other job.
Limit · Drills are jobs, not a separate drills module. You enter the drills your SMS requires — nothing generates them from a statutory template.
Evidence at the point of work
Attach a photo, drill record, certificate or report to the job or item it belongs to, from the deck, and retrieve it in seconds when someone asks.
Limit · Files are stored privately to your workspace. Nothing is shared outside it.
Append-only change record
Creations, evidence uploads and the nightly certificate expiry check are written to an append-only log with the user and a timestamp. An edit to a maintenance schedule, a sign-off or a sensor reading is recorded field by field, old value to new value. Edits to certificates, documents and drills are not captured there yet.
Limit · Separately, a record sealed into the ledger can be shown to be unaltered since sealing — sealing is a person pressing a button, not automatic.
Multi-vessel fleets
Add a vessel and it is seeded with the statutory register immediately. Switch between ships without losing your place.
Limit · Built for 1–50 ships. Above that, terms are agreed rather than published.
Reporting, the human decision, and working at sea
What leaves the workspace: the figures you have to file, the decision someone signed, and the fact that the ship has no connection for days at a time.
FuelEU Maritime & EU ETS reporting
Bunker deliveries and voyage legs you enter are turned into FuelEU and EU ETS figures, with the assumption behind each number shown next to it.
Limit · A calculation on your inputs. It is not a verified statement and no verifier has signed it.
Decision record
Where the software drew a conclusion, the reading, the person who accepted or rejected it and the date sit together in one entry.
Limit · A human decides every time. The software never closes an item by itself.
Offline working
Installs as an app, keeps your fleet data readable with no connection, and queues what you record for the next time the link comes up.
Limit · Queued work syncs when a link exists; conflicts are surfaced, not silently merged.
Roles & shared views
Crew, superintendent and administrator roles with access enforced in the database, so ship and shore look at the same record with the right permissions.
Limit · Access rules are enforced server-side, not in the browser.
