Planned Maintenance (PMS)
Full access to the CrewSmart planned maintenance system. Record engine hours, complete your daily tasks, access your work instruction library offline.
Defect & Incident Reporting
Record all defects, incidents and safety observations at the touch of a button, keeping the office informed in real time.
Offline Access
Limited or costly access is not a problem. You can choose to limit access and only sync with the office when back in port.
Ship2Shore Communications
Good communication is the key to any efficient operation. With CrewSmart, it is simplified and streamlined for you.
Port & Site Data
Access all the key port data straight out of the box. Phone numbers, websites, bye-laws: find it all at your fingertips.
Checks, Permits & Procedures
Pre-departure and daily checks, permits to work and your own procedures, completed and signed off on the vessel. Every one of them becomes a record in your safety management system.
Five apps, one system
Each CrewSmart app does one job well, signs in with the same account and shares its data with the office system. All four released apps were rebuilt in autumn 2026.
CrewSmart Inspect
Vessel inspections carried out on the boat, with or without a signal, and synced to CrewSmart for review.
iPhone & iPad AndroidCrewSmart IMS
Your management system documents offline, with read-and-acknowledge so the office knows who has seen the current version.

Raised in Onboard, followed through in CrewSmart
Onboard is where the crew record things. What happens next is decided by your own procedures in CrewSmart, so nothing raised on the vessel sits in an inbox.
1. Raised on the vessel
A defect, incident, observation or failed check is recorded in Onboard by the crew, with photos, while it is in front of them. Offline if need be.
2. Your procedure takes over
The answers decide who is told and what happens next: a routine defect goes to the engineer, something critical alerts managers straight away. Configured to how your company works.
3. Closed out, record kept
The office and the crew close it off, and the whole timeline, who did what and when, stays in your safety management records for the next audit.
An app for the crew to organise their key functions
Built for the way boats actually work
Onboard is used on CTVs, workboats, tugs, pilot boats and ferries. The same app, set up to your vessels, your procedures and your crew.
Works without a signal. Record the day at sea, sync when you are back in range. Nothing is lost if the connection drops mid-entry.
Quick for the crew. Big buttons, photos from the camera, and only the questions your procedure needs. A defect takes under a minute to raise.
Secure by assignment. Crew see a vessel's data only while rostered to it, and a lost or stolen device can be wiped remotely from the office.
Updated continuously. Improvements ship every few weeks, driven by what customers ask for, and are included in your subscription.
