How To Reduce Vessel Paperwork
Cut ship paperwork with digital SMS, PMS job cards, logbooks, PTW, and shore review in one vessel context.
The industry problem
Commercial vessels still run on paper job cards, faxed forms, and email attachments. Every port call generates another stack of documents. Shore teams re-key data into spreadsheets. Audit preparation means hunting through binders.
The traditional approach
Operators try partial digitisation: a PDF here, a SharePoint folder there — but without a single system linking safety, maintenance, logbooks, and crew records, paperwork never really goes away.
How WaterTight helps
WaterTight captures data once in the modules that own it:
- Safety: incidents, drills, checklists, PTW, SMS acknowledgments
- PMS: job execution and defect close-out without paper cards
- Logbooks & daily reports: structured digital entries with lock/correct
- Fleet dashboard: shore visibility without email chains
Ship and shore staff use the web dashboard; crew also work in the app onboard and offline — same vessel context, not a second filing system.
