Vessel Management | Track User Data, Maintain Personnel Info & Organize Your Workplace With Oceanaut

A skilled crew is what determines how efficiently your ship operations are running, sure. But what ensures that your team mates are skilled and well-trained is a marine ship management system (SMS). While maintaining a well-documented SMS is mandatory as per the Canadian Marine Safety Management System Regulations (MSMSR), its purpose extends far beyond compliance.

An SMS not only records critical details but also defines clear employee roles and responsibilities, empowering the team to respond intuitively in high-stress situations.

How to Track User Data in an Organized Manner

An SMS lists data but did you know you could monitor and analyze the same with the assistance of smart digital tools? Maintaining an efficient work flow and a safe work culture has never been easier.

With our advanced vessel management system, Oceanaut, organizations can optimize their functions and foster a healthy work space. How?

Oceanaut not only encourages the proper implementation of an SMS, but also records all crew-related information in one place, and makes assigning duties on voyages simple, thus, enhancing the work culture. Want to know more? Here's what the software solution precisely does:

Tracking and Analyzing Crew Data

Keeping a detailed record of each crew member’s competencies is essential. With Oceanaut, you can track:

• Employee training and certifications

• Drill participation and completed courses

• Overall skills and training history

• User data pertaining to roles within the organization

When you know the specific skills and training history of each crew member, you’re prepared to assign the right person for each job. But even if you didn't, Oceanaut has built-in features to make sure only the people with the required qualifications are assigned for specific duties on voyages. Learn more here.

This, furthermore, helps in performance evaluation that you can also seamlessly record on the system.

Optimizing Task Assignments and Schedules

Managing schedules goes beyond assigning names to shifts. It’s about balancing workloads to prevent fatigue and ensuring peak performance. Oceanaut simplifies this by providing tools to:

• Monitor working hours, sea time, and shift rotations

• Prevent scheduling conflicts and last-minute changes

• Keep everyone aligned with and informed of their assigned vessels, trips, and duties through regular reminders and e-mail notifications

By enabling seamless tracking and scheduling, Oceanaut reduces confusion, double-booking, and unnecessary stress, ensuring the crew is always where they need to be.

Enhancing Work Culture and Safety

A well-organized SMS focusses on the HSEQ factors (i.e. health, safety, environment and quality) of an organization. With Oceanaut’s HSEQ Management Module, maritime operators can easily manage work policies, procedures, and reports—all from one secure platform. From publishing policies to handling incident reports and customizing forms, Oceanaut helps you stay compliant and organized. Take control of your team’s safety and efficiency, no matter where you are.

Providing Structure to Your Work Flow

Investing in smart digital tools will help bridge the gap between regulatory requirements and the real, everyday needs for organizations. They provide structure to work cultures, fostering learned and skilled teams.
