Satellite connectivity
Designed to keep shipboard maintenance records moving when the link drops.
Maintenance completions, stock movements and requisitions are recorded on board and sent when the connection returns, in batches sized to the measured link. Full Ahead Maritime runs in the browser over the connection the vessel already has.
Connectivity treated as a variable, not an assumption
Measures the link it is on
At the start of each sync pass the app times a round trip to Full Ahead and reads the browser's own speed estimate, then sizes that pass's batches to suit: larger on a fast link, smaller on a slow or high-latency one.
Recorded on board, sent on reconnect
Maintenance completions — including a job closed with the spares it used — stock movements and requisitions are held on the device with the time they were recorded, and go to the office as soon as the connection returns.
The office record stays authoritative
Each entry is sent under the account of the person who recorded it. If the office record has changed in the meantime, the entry is held for that person to check instead of overwriting it, and an entry the office turns down is reported back on board.
Satellite connectivity questions
Does Full Ahead Maritime require a specific satellite provider?
No. It runs in the browser over whatever internet connection the vessel already has, and measures that connection itself before it sends.
What happens when the link drops?
Work carries on. Maintenance completions, stock movements and requisitions are recorded on the device and sent when the connection returns, each with the time it was recorded on board.
Will the software eat our satellite data allowance?
Each queued entry is a small text record — a job completion, a stock movement or a requisition — so the maintenance record moves in kilobytes, in batches that follow the measured link.
Do we need a server on board?
No. There is no vessel-side server and no replication window to manage: the app runs in the browser on the devices already on board, and queued entries go straight to the office record.
