Why fleets still struggle

The cost of how it’s done today

Vessel certificates kept in folders, separate from crew certificates, mean statutory and class renewals are discovered late.

The traditional approach

Class and flag certificates filed on a drive per vessel, with no fleet expiry view to plan surveys.

Vessel Certificates: fleet dashboard view

Monday with WaterTight

What changes when this is under control

A vessel certificate register with sections, document storage, inspection schedules, and a fleet-wide expiring view distinct from crew certificate profiles.

Time back

A single expiring view across the fleet replaces opening each vessel's folder to check renewal dates.

Less waste

Planning surveys and renewals ahead avoids rushed attendance and the cost of lapsed certificates.

Lower risk

Expiry monitoring and inspection schedules surface statutory and class renewals before they fall due.

Questions before you commit

Are vessel and crew certificates separate?
Yes. Vessel certificates have their own register distinct from crew certificate profiles.
Can I see renewals across the fleet?
Yes. A fleet vessel-certificate view and dashboard renewals card highlight upcoming expiries.
Do vessel certificates feed inspection prep?
Yes. Certificate status feeds the inspection readiness hub as live evidence for audit types such as PSC and Class.
Does WaterTight renew certificates?
No. WaterTight tracks documents, schedules, and expiries. Arranging surveys and maintaining valid certificates remains the operator's responsibility.

Bring this pain to a demo

We’ll walk vessel certificates for Technical Superintendent and Fleet Manager on a sample vessel — so you can judge the fit, not sit through a feature tour.
