e-Logbook

Maritime logbooks

In order to record key navigation, engine watch, port calls, and other operational tasks aboard vessels of varying types and sizes, marine logbooks need to adhere to the precise reporting standards outlined by the IMO, MARPOL, SOLAS and flag states. Traditional paper logs, though conventional, have limitations.

Relying on outdated logbooks can lead to significant inefficiencies and errors. This not only threatens the safety of crew members and passengers but also complicates compliance with key international regulations. Manually entering and storing data slows down operations and increases the risk of loss and inaccuracy, while analyzing information can prove cumbersome and time-consuming, which can be crucial in emergency situations or during inspections.
