Document and crew management for shipping companies

FleetNet’s crew management function maintains an up-to-date database with relevant information about crew members available in one place.

This information can include documents of certificates and endorsements, medical data, briefing details, promotion and appraisals, warnings and service history.

Fleet Software offers comprehensive management for all crew and vessel documentation such as licences and certificates, visas, identification and medical details.

The document management function can define mandatory certificates for each vessel and position, which is checked when you plan a crewmember for sea service. There is an automated warning for soon-to-be expired documents, in addition to a scan-and-store facility on the server for immediate availability to all users.

Ship crew planning and scheduling programme

The planning module allows ship operators to shortlist and select the right seafarers according to vessel and rank requirements.

During the planning process, the software can be used to prepare employment contracts, printing of crew lists, visa applications and travel order forms among other documents.

The system provides alerts if operators attempt to assign a person to an on board position that they are not fully qualified for, or if they are on unavailable due to leave, another duty, training or sickness.

Automated crew payroll system

Crew Payroll is designed to simplify and automate the creation of payroll.

It utilises a crew planning system to retrieve personal and sea service data; assuring accurate time periods; eliminating duplicate work in data entry; and calculating work, leave and travel days.

Fleet payroll fully supports the defining wage scale according to the standard International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) collective bargaining agreement. In addition, operators can define any number of additional earning or deduction categories.

Software for vessel management and activity planning

Our software provides a comprehensive vessel register with the required technical and operational information of each vessel. Keep track of up-to-date ship documents and certifications, as well as information on ships, including crew position coverage and crew certificate requirements for specific ranks.

The Activity Planning tool allows the schedule and dispatch of vessels such as salvage tugs and survey vessels that perform short time-relevant tasks. Monitor docking or repair periods, charter delivery / redelivery or specific deployment periods.

Ship operators can define all vessel activities with the option to customise the scheduler according to their needs.

Fleet position and inspection tool

The unique Fleet Position module allows ship operators to keep a full record of all voyages and operations with standard template-based arrival / port / noon / departure messages. It features all relevant data about cargo, bunkers, wind, revolutions per minute (RPM) and voyage speed that can be entered and tracked for either each vessel, class or fleet.

This allows for each overview and comparison of features such as:

• Fuel consumption
• Speed
• Weather conditions (sea level, wind speed and direction)
• Utilised cargo space
• Historical vessel performance

The Fleet Inspection application is designed to provide an easy way to enter, monitor and access vessel and / or office inspections, as well as track deficiencies found during internal or third-party inspections and audits.

The simple and intuitive user interface allows you to:

• Enter and search for deficiencies by vessel, date, port or deficiency code
• View port state and audit deficiencies
• View due dates for corrective actions
• Attach reports to vessel or office inspection
• Scan documents
