MarineInspection manages all types of commercial cargo vessels including container ships, bulk carriers, general cargo vessels, tankers (oil, chemical, LNG), ro-ro carriers, heavy lift ships, multi-purpose vessels, feeder vessels, and coastal freighters. The platform handles vessels of all sizes from handy-size to ultra-large container ships with specialized tracking for cargo holds, hatch covers, cargo handling equipment, main propulsion systems, auxiliary machinery, hull structures, and ballast systems. The system supports ISM Code compliance, tracks class society requirements, maintains Port State Control readiness, monitors statutory certifications, and ensures regulatory adherence specific to commercial shipping operations across different vessel types, cargo grades, and international trade routes.
The system provides comprehensive compliance management for commercial shipping operations including ISM Code requirements, SOLAS conventions, MARPOL regulations, class society standards (ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register, ClassNK), flag state regulations, Port State Control memorandums (Paris MOU, Tokyo MOU, US Coast Guard), cargo ship safety certificates, load line certificates, and international tonnage certificates. Automated certificate tracking monitors all statutory certifications, class surveys, safety equipment inspections, cargo gear testing, and crew training records with email alerts before expiry dates. The platform maintains complete audit trails meeting ISM Code documentation requirements, generates compliance reports for PSC inspections and class society audits, tracks corrective actions from inspections and non-conformities, and ensures all maintenance follows approved company procedures. Digital inspection checklists ensure consistent execution of Safety Management System requirements while document management stores all required certificates, manuals, procedures, and records in one secure location accessible from ship and shore. The system specifically helps prepare for Port State Control inspections by identifying deficiencies before PSC boarding, tracking historical PSC findings, maintaining evidence of corrective actions, and ensuring all documentation is current and readily available.
Yes, MarineInspection is specifically designed for ocean-going vessels where internet connectivity is limited or unavailable during voyages. The mobile apps work fully offline, allowing crew members to complete routine inspections, log maintenance work, update engine hours, capture inspection photos, record equipment readings, conduct cargo hold checks, and document hatch cover tests without any internet connection. All data is stored locally on the device and automatically syncs to the cloud when connectivity is restored—whether via satellite internet, shore-based Wi-Fi, or cellular networks in port. The system handles partial syncs intelligently, resuming from interruption points if connection drops during data transfer. Ship personnel can access critical equipment manuals, maintenance procedures, inspection checklists, and historical maintenance records even while at sea without connectivity. This offline-first architecture ensures continuous operations regardless of network conditions, which is essential for cargo vessels on trans-oceanic voyages, remote trade routes, or areas with limited satellite coverage where reliable internet connectivity cannot be maintained throughout the voyage.
Cargo hold inspection management provides specialized tools for ensuring cargo-ready condition and preventing cargo claims. The system maintains detailed inspection checklists for cargo holds covering cleanliness standards, structural integrity, ventilation functionality, bilge condition, cargo battens, and lighting. Pre-loading inspections verify holds are suitable for the intended cargo grade, document any existing damage, check for water ingress, confirm proper dunnage is available, and ensure ventilation systems are operational. Post-discharge inspections document hold condition after cargo removal, identify any cargo residue requiring cleaning, note structural damage requiring repair, and verify holds are ready for next cargo. The platform tracks hold cleaning operations between different cargo grades, maintains photographic evidence of hold conditions, records surveyor comments and time-off-hire conditions, and stores cargo damage surveys. Hatch cover inspections include weathertightness testing with ultrasonic equipment, rubber seal condition checks, mechanical component functionality, hydraulic system tests, and compression bar adjustments. Cargo handling equipment tracking manages crane load tests, derrick certifications, winch inspections, and cargo pump maintenance. Each inspection includes photo documentation, deficiency tracking, and automated work order generation for issues requiring attention. The system schedules inspections based on cargo type requirements, tracks inspection history for cargo insurers and charterers, maintains complete audit trails for cargo claims defense, and ensures all cargo spaces meet international cargo-worthy standards. Integration with class society surveys and Port State Control inspections helps maintain compliance while detailed documentation supports charter party requirements and protects against unfounded cargo damage claims.
