🚢Fleet Management

🚢

Fleet Management

The central hub for your entire fleet. View real-time PSC readiness scores, certificate status, KPI trends, and vessel-level compliance at a glance from the Fleet Overview dashboard.

Fleet Overview dashboard

The Fleet Overview is the first screen you see after logging in. It shows six KPI cards at the top:

Adding a vessel

  1. 1
    Click + Add VesselFrom the Fleet Overview or My Vessels page, click the + Add Vessel button in the top-right corner.
  2. 2
    Enter vessel detailsFill in the vessel name, IMO number, MMSI, flag state, vessel type (tanker, bulk, container, etc.), gross tonnage, and year built.
  3. 3
    Save and add certificatesOnce saved, you are taken to the vessel detail page where you can immediately begin adding certificates.

PSC readiness score

Each vessel receives an automatic PSC Readiness Score (0–100%) based on the status of eight key statutory certificates: Safety Management, Document of Compliance, ISSC, IOPP, Load Line, Safe Manning, MLC, and SEEMP/CII. A score of 80%+ is considered inspection-ready.

Clicking on any vessel in the Fleet Overview opens the full vessel detail page with module-by-module compliance status and all certificate records.


📋Certificates

📋

Certificates

Centralised certificate management for all statutory and class certificates across your fleet, with colour-coded expiry status and automatic email alerts.

Certificate status colours

ColourStatusMeaning
GreenValidCertificate is within its validity period and more than 90 days from expiry.
AmberExpiringCertificate expires within 90 days. Review and initiate renewal immediately.

Adding a certificate

  1. 1
    Open the vessel and click CertificatesNavigate to the vessel detail page and select the Certificates tab.
  2. 2
    Click + Add CertificateSelect the certificate type from the dropdown, enter the issue date, expiry date, and optionally upload a scanned copy.
  3. 3
    SaveThe certificate appears immediately in the list and is monitored for expiry. Alerts will fire at 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry.

⏱️Watchkeeper

The Watchkeeper module enforces STCW 2010 Manila Amendments and MLC 2006 minimum rest hour requirements for all watchkeeping seafarers. Timesheets are entered by crew on the vessel app and flow through a structured shore-side review, approval, and countersignature workflow before being locked as the official record.

Regulatory basis

RuleRequirement
STCW Reg VIII/1Minimum 10 hours rest in any 24-hour period; minimum 77 hours in any 7-day period
MLC 2006 Std A2.3Maximum 14 hours work in any 24-hour period; maximum 72 hours in any 7-day period
STCW — Split rest10-hour rest may be split into no more than two periods, one of at least 6 hours
Short-sea / specialExceptions under STCW Reg VIII/1 para 3 flag-state dispensations are tracked separately

Timesheet workflow

  1. 1
    Crew enters daily timesheetEach watchkeeper logs work and rest periods for the day on the vessel app. The compliance engine checks entries against STCW/MLC rules and flags any violations immediately.
  2. 2
    Submit for reviewThe crew member submits the completed timesheet. Status moves to Submitted. The vessel Master or Chief Officer can then review the entry.
  3. 3
    Shore review (DPA / Fleet Manager)The shore-side reviewer can Approve the timesheet or Return for Correction with a comment. Returned timesheets go back to the crew for amendment.
  4. 4
    CountersignatureOnce approved, the Master countersigns the timesheet to attest correctness. Status moves to Countersigned.
  5. 5
    LockThe final shore-side lock seals the record. Locked timesheets cannot be edited. They form the audit trail available for PSC and flag state inspections.

Violations are classified as WARNING (minor deviation), VIOLATION (breach of STCW/MLC limits), or EXCUSED (flag state dispensation applied). The fleet dashboard shows a COMPLIANT / WARNING / VIOLATION compliance state per vessel.

Fleet dashboard

The Watchkeeper overview in NavSight Pro shows fleet-wide KPIs:

Vessel app

The NavSight Vessel App runs on board and syncs watchkeeper data to the cloud over HTTPS. Crew log in with vessel credentials issued by the shore team. Timesheets are synced automatically whenever an internet connection is available. The shore portal always shows the latest synced data.

Download the NavSight Vessel App — Windows installer, v1.0.1.
⬇ NavSight-Vessel-App.zip — extract and run NavSight-Vessel-Setup-1.0.1.exe to install.

Vessel app credentials are managed under Settings → Vessels → Vessel Admin. Each vessel has a single shared crew login. Individual crew members are identified by their seafarer profile within the app.


🔧Planned Maintenance System (PMS)

🔧

Planned Maintenance System

Schedule, track, and report on all planned maintenance across your fleet. Manage running hours, job cards, defect reports, and dry dock planning in one place.

Key concepts

Creating a maintenance schedule

  1. 1
    Go to PMS for the vesselSelect the vessel and open the PMS module. Click + Add Job.
  2. 2
    Set job detailsEnter the job name, system/equipment, category, responsible officer, interval (days or running hours), and next due date.
  3. 3
    Complete the jobWhen the job is done, click Complete. Enter the completion date, running hours at completion, findings, and any parts used. This creates a permanent job card.

Overdue PMS jobs appear in the Fleet Overview Open Issues KPI and are included in the daily alert emails if alert settings are configured.


🌊MARPOL & CII

🌊

MARPOL & CII

Digital Oil Record Books (Part I and Part II), garbage management logs, ballast water records, fuel consumption tracking, CII rating calculation, and SEEMP documentation — all in one module.

Oil Record Book (ORB)

The ORB Part I covers machinery space operations (bilge water, sludge, bunker operations). ORB Part II covers cargo/ballast operations for tankers. Both are logged with operation codes, quantities, positions, and officer signatures — exactly as required by MARPOL Annex I.

ORB PartApplies toKey entries
Part IAll ships over 400 GTBilge pumping, sludge disposal, bunker operations, tank cleaning, accidental discharges
Part IIOil tankers over 150 GTBallast/washing operations, crude oil washing, cargo pump room bilge, accidental discharges

CII Rating

NavSight Pro automatically calculates the vessel's Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating (A–E) based on fuel consumption data entered in the MARPOL module. The calculation follows MEPC.338(76) methodology.


🚒SOLAS

🚒

SOLAS

Fire and Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) equipment tracking, mandatory drill records, GMDSS equipment management, muster lists, and PSC inspection history for SOLAS compliance.

Drill records

SOLAS requires regular drills to be logged. NavSight Pro tracks:

LSA and fire equipment

Register all LSA and fire-fighting equipment under SOLAS → Equipment. Each item has a service interval, last service date, and next due date. Overdue service items are flagged and appear in alert emails.


🛡️QHSE

🛡️

QHSE

Quality, Health, Safety and Environment management — deficiency tracking, Permit to Work (PTW), risk assessments, Management of Change (MoC), toolbox talks, and safety meeting records.

Deficiency lifecycle

  1. 1
    Raise deficiencyAny officer or manager can raise a deficiency. Enter the description, category (PSC, internal audit, near miss, etc.), vessel, location, and severity.
  2. 2
    Assign and set due dateA responsible officer is assigned. A target close-out date is set. The deficiency status becomes Open.
  3. 3
    Record corrective actionWhen action is taken, the assigned officer records what was done. Status moves to Action Taken — Pending Review.
  4. 4
    DPA/Manager review and closeA manager or DPA reviews the corrective action, verifies it is satisfactory, and closes the deficiency. A root cause analysis can be added.

Permit to Work (PTW)

Raise PTW forms for hot work, enclosed space entry, working at height, electrical isolation, and other high-risk operations. Each PTW includes hazard identification, control measures, authorising officer signature, and validity period. Closed PTWs are archived with a full audit trail.

AI Document Extraction

Upload a PSC deficiency report or external audit finding as a PDF or image. NavSight Pro uses AI to automatically read the document and extract deficiency items, creating draft QHSE records for your review. This eliminates manual re-entry of external inspection findings.


📁ISM / SMS

📁

ISM / SMS

Non-conformity (NC) lifecycle management, SMS document register, emergency procedures, internal audit scheduling, management reviews, and ISM objective tracking.

Non-conformity lifecycle

Non-conformities follow a structured lifecycle: Raised → Assigned → Corrective Action → Root Cause → Preventive Action → Closed. All stages are timestamped and attributed to the responsible user. NCs that are overdue automatically appear in the Fleet Overview Open Issues KPI and in alert emails.

Internal audits

Schedule internal ISM audits under ISM → Audits. Set the audit date, lead auditor, scope, and vessels to be audited. After the audit, record findings, observations, and corrective actions. The system tracks due dates for close-out and generates the audit report PDF.


🔒ISPS Security

🔒

ISPS Security

Security level management, security drill records, threat register, Declaration of Security (DoS), Ship Security Plan (SSP) index, and access log management.

Security levels

Update the current ISPS security level (1, 2, or 3) for each vessel under ISPS → Security Level. Changes are logged with the date, time, reason, and the officer who authorised the change.

Security drills

Log mandatory ISPS security drills — these must be conducted at least every three months. Record the drill type (ship/port interface, threat response, etc.), participants, and outcome. Overdue drills are flagged in the module dashboard.


🚨Incident Reporting

🚨

Incident Reporting

IMO-category incident register with TRCF and LTIF calculation, witness statement management, flag state reporting workflow, corrective and preventive actions, and fleet incident trend analysis.

Incident categories (IMO)

CategoryDescription
Loss of Life (LTI)Fatality or incident resulting in permanent total disability
Lost Time Injury (LTI)Injury requiring the seafarer to miss a scheduled watch
Medical Treatment Case (MTC)Injury requiring treatment beyond first aid but no lost time
First Aid Case (FAC)Minor injury treated with first aid only
Near MissEvent with the potential to cause injury or damage but did not
Property DamageDamage to vessel, cargo, or third-party property
Pollution / EnvironmentalUnplanned release of pollutants to sea or air

TRCF and LTIF

NavSight Pro automatically calculates the Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) and Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) for your fleet based on reported incidents and the exposure hours entered monthly. These KPIs appear in the Incident module dashboard and are included in the fleet incident summary report.


🔍Vetting (SIRE 2.0 / CDI)

🔍

Vetting — SIRE 2.0 & CDI

Full SIRE 2.0 and CDI pre-inspection workflow — vessel questionnaire (PIQ), photograph management, observation tracking, oil major approval status, and fleet readiness scoring.

🔗Vessel Submission Portal

The Vessel Submission Portal allows vessel crew to upload data directly to NavSight Pro without requiring a platform account. This is primarily used for SIRE 2.0 photograph submissions and PIQ answers ahead of an inspection.

How to use the portal

  1. 1
    Generate a submission linkIn the Vetting module, open an inspection record and click Send Vessel Link. Enter the Master's or officer's email address and set an expiry date for the link.
  2. 2
    Vessel receives the secure linkThe vessel receives an email with a one-time-use secure URL. No account or password is required to open the portal.
  3. 3
    Crew uploads photographs and answers PIQThe vessel officer uploads the required SIRE photographs (labelled by category) and completes the PIQ sections. Uploads go directly into the inspection record in NavSight Pro.
  4. 4
    Shore team reviews and approvesOnce submitted, you receive a notification. Review the uploaded photographs and PIQ answers directly in the Vetting module. Request re-submission of any unsatisfactory photographs before the inspection date.

Submission links expire on the date you set (maximum 30 days). Once expired, the vessel cannot use the link and a new one must be generated.



⚡Ship–Shore Workflow Engine

The Ship–Shore Workflow Engine is the backbone of AI-41. It connects every safety and compliance record submitted by crew to the office review process — with a full timeline, discussion thread, evidence gallery, SLA tracking, and NavMate intelligence — across every module (QHSE, PSC, PMS, Certificates, and more).

💡

Generic by design. The workflow engine is not QHSE-specific. Any module that calls WorkflowService.initState() on submission gets the same My Tasks, My Submissions, Workflow Detail, and Workflow Center experience automatically.

How it works

  1. 1
    Crew submits a recordUsing the NavSight Vessel portal (QHSE, Safety Meeting, LOTO, Observation, etc.). The record is created in the database and a workflow instance is created immediately.
  2. 2
    Office is notifiedThe Workflow Center badge increments. The submission appears in the All Workflows queue with stage submitted.
  3. 3
    Office reviews and actsThe reviewer clicks the submission, reads the timeline, reviews evidence, replies in the discussion thread, and advances the stage (Start Review → Approve, or Return to Vessel with a reason).
  4. 4
    Crew respondsIf returned, crew sees it highlighted in My Tasks. They add a note or upload additional evidence, then resubmit. The office is notified and can re-review.
  5. 5
    Closure and verificationOffice approves → crew marks as implemented → office verifies → workflow is closed. Every stage change is permanently logged in the timeline.

Crew Flow — NavSight Vessel Portal

Crew access the workflow engine through two dedicated pages in the Overview module of the vessel portal (visible to all crew regardless of subscribed modules).

My Tasks

Shows all workflow instances where crew action is required — i.e., the office has returned a submission or requested additional information. Cards are colour-coded by priority and show the SLA countdown. Unread office messages are flagged with a red badge.

My Submissions

An audit trail of every record the vessel has submitted, across all modules. Shows current stage, priority, SLA due date, and unread office comment count.

Workflow Detail (inline)

Opens inside the portal — not a popup. Contains:

⚠

Crew can only advance to resubmitted or implemented. All other stage transitions belong to the office.

Office Flow — Workflow Center

The Workflow Center is a global hub in the NavSight Pro sidebar, accessible under the same entry regardless of which module originated the submission.

SLA Summary Bar

The top of the queue shows four counters: Total Open, SLA Breached (red), At Risk (due in <24h, amber), and Healthy (green). These update on every load.

Module Tabs

Filter the queue by module: All | QHSE | PSC | Vetting | PMS | Certificates. The All tab shows everything regardless of module. Each tab only shows records that have a live workflow instance.

Queue Cards

Each card shows: module badge, stage chip, SLA chip (if breached or <24h), unread crew message count, title, vessel name, submission date, priority, and assigned reviewer. Click any card to open the Workflow Detail panel.

Workflow Detail Panel (inline)

Contains the same sections as the vessel side, plus office-exclusive capabilities:

Current StageOffice can advance toCrew can advance to

NavMate — Workflow Queries

NavMate has full awareness of the Workflow Engine. It loads the company's open workflow instances, scores them by urgency, and can answer questions across all modules.

Example Questions

💡

NavMate's workflow context loads automatically when you ask about tasks, submissions, queues, SLA, or workflow. No special command needed — just ask naturally.

Understanding NavMate Responses

Every professional NavMate response follows a structured format to help you act on the information quickly.

1
Direct AnswerNavMate leads with the direct answer to your question — no preamble.
2
Requested DataRelevant fleet information from your records, presented clearly with vessel names, dates, and values.
3
Operational MeaningWhat the data means in practice — context that helps you understand why it matters.
4
Risk AssessmentBusiness impact and operational risk — rated Critical, High, Medium, or Low where applicable.
5
Recommended ActionSuggested next steps where appropriate, so you know exactly what to do with the information.

Risk Levels

NavMate uses four risk levels in responses. These are based on operational significance within the maritime context.

🔴 Critical
Immediate operational attention required. Detention risk, expired certificate, or regulatory violation.
🟠 High
Significant operational or compliance risk. Action needed within days, not weeks.
🟡 Medium
Requires monitoring or planned action. Should be addressed before the next port call or inspection.
🟢 Low
Operating within acceptable limits. Monitor as part of routine operations.

Source Badges

NavMate responses include source references at the bottom of the card, indicating which part of NavSight Pro the data was drawn from. This ensures full transparency and traceability.

Click any source badge in a NavMate response to jump directly to the relevant module and review the underlying records.

Follow-Up Suggestions

After each response, NavMate may suggest related follow-up questions at the bottom of the card. These are generated based on the context of your query and help you explore the topic further without having to think of the next question. Simply click a suggestion to send it instantly.

Tips for Better Results

NavMate responds better to specific, natural language questions. Here are examples of how to phrase questions for the best results.

Instead of a single word or acronym — use a full question:
❌   SIRE
→
✓   Show vessels with SIRE due.
Instead of a module name — ask what you want to know:
❌   PSC
→
✓   Summarise PSC performance over the last 12 months.
Instead of a general term — be specific about what you need:
❌   Certificates
→
✓   Which certificates expire within the next 30 days?

Best Practices

🎯
Be specific. Include the vessel name, time period, or module when relevant to get a more precise answer.
🔍
Mention the module. If your question relates to a specific area (vetting, PSC, maintenance), say so.
💬
Ask follow-up questions. Use the suggested follow-ups or continue the conversation to drill down.
🚢
Use operational language. Phrases like "overdue", "upcoming", "at risk", and "detention" all have precise meaning.
📊
Request summaries or comparisons. Ask NavMate to "compare vessels" or "summarise trends" for deeper analysis.
🔄
Start a new conversation for unrelated topics. Click ✏️ New in the NavMate panel header to clear the context.

Limitations

NavMate is a powerful tool but it is important to understand its scope:

⚠️
Data scope: NavMate uses data stored within NavSight Pro. It cannot access external databases, class society records, flag state portals, or internet sources.
⚠️
Professional judgement: NavMate supports decision-making but does not replace the judgement of qualified maritime professionals, DPAs, or vetting superintendents.
⚠️
Record modification: NavMate cannot create, edit, or delete operational records. All data changes must be made through the relevant module in NavSight Pro.
⚠️
Request limit: NavMate is subject to a fair-use rate limit of 20 requests per hour per user to ensure platform performance for all users.

🛒Procurement

The Procurement module manages the full lifecycle of vessel requisitions — from a crew member raising a spare-parts request on the vessel portal through to purchase order issuance, delivery, and receipt confirmation. It integrates with PMS (defects and job cards) and includes a dedicated operator workspace, RFQ/supplier workflow, and analytics dashboard.

Procurement uses dual authentication: vessel crew access the module through the Vessel Portal, while office/operator staff access it from the main platform under Procurement Workspace in the sidebar.

Overview & Status Machine

Every requisition follows a defined lifecycle:

StatusOwnerDescription
draftVesselCreated but not yet submitted. Crew can edit freely.
submittedOfficeVessel has submitted. Awaiting office review.
office_reviewOfficeOperator has opened the requisition for review.
quotedOfficeOne or more supplier quotes received and attached.
approvedOfficeQuote selected and requisition approved.
orderedOfficePurchase order issued to supplier.
partially_deliveredVesselSome items received; awaiting remainder.
deliveredVesselAll items received. Vessel has confirmed receipt.
cancelledOfficeRequisition cancelled at any point before delivery.

Vessel Requisitions

Crew log in to the Vessel Portal and open the Procurement tab. They can:

IMPA Item History: When adding a line item, type in the description field to search items previously ordered by your fleet. Select an item to auto-fill description, unit, and IMPA code — eliminating re-entry errors.

Procurement Workflow (Office Side)

From the Procurement Workspace in the main platform, operators handle the full lifecycle:

  1. Pending Review tab — lists all submitted requisitions awaiting action. Click to open, review items, and approve or reject.
  2. RFQ tab — send a Request for Quotation to one or more suppliers. Each supplier receives the item list.
  3. Quotes tab — receive and enter supplier quotes. The side-by-side comparison view highlights the lowest price per item.
  4. Orders tab — after selecting a quote, issue a Purchase Order. Status advances to ordered and the vessel is notified.
  5. Deliveries tab — track incoming deliveries. Mark partial or full delivery; vessel crew confirm receipt from their portal.

Operator Workspace

The Procurement Workspace (accessible from the main sidebar) organises work into tabs:

TabContents
Pending ReviewSubmitted requisitions awaiting operator action
RFQRequisitions in the quoting stage — manage supplier outreach
QuotesEnter received quotes; compare side-by-side; select winning quote
OrdersActive purchase orders and partially delivered items

Requisition Review

When an operator opens a requisition, the detail panel shows:

Operators can approve (advance to office_review → quoted pipeline) or reject (with a mandatory rejection reason). The vessel crew see the rejection reason displayed as a red banner on their portal.

Suppliers

Supplier records are managed from the Suppliers panel within the Procurement Workspace. Each supplier record includes:

Suppliers are company-scoped — your supplier list is private to your organisation and not visible to other NavSight Pro customers.

RFQ & Quotes

To send an RFQ, open a requisition in office_review status and click Send RFQ. Select one or more suppliers from your supplier list. When quotes are received:

  1. Click Add Quote and enter the supplier's reference number, validity date, and currency
  2. Fill in the unit price and notes for each line item
  3. Save the quote — status advances to quoted
  4. Use the Compare Quotes view to see all quotes side-by-side; the lowest price per item is highlighted
  5. Click Select Quote to mark the winning quote — status advances to approved

Purchase Orders

Once a quote is selected, issue the Purchase Order:

  1. Click Issue PO from the requisition detail panel
  2. Enter the PO number, expected delivery date, and any PO notes
  3. Status advances to ordered and the vessel receives a notification

The PO card is visible to the vessel crew in their Procurement tab, showing PO number, supplier, and expected delivery date.

Delivery

Operators update delivery status from the Deliveries tab:

Vessel Receipt Confirmation

After delivery is recorded by the office, the vessel crew must confirm receipt:

  1. In the Vessel Portal Procurement tab, open the delivered requisition
  2. The PO card shows a Confirm Receipt button
  3. Crew enter per-item quantities actually received onboard, received-by name, and receipt remarks
  4. Submit — the receipt is logged and the office is notified

PMS Integration

Procurement integrates directly with the PMS module in two ways:

Integration PointHow to Use
Defect → RequisitionOpen a PMS defect, click Raise Requisition. A requisition is pre-filled with the defect title and linked via defect_id.
Job Card → RequisitionOpen a PMS job card, click Raise Requisition. Same flow — linked via job card reference.

Linked defect or job card details are shown on the requisition detail panel, giving operators full context for the parts request.

Comments & Attachments

Every requisition has a ship-shore communication thread:

Comments and attachments persist through all status changes and are visible in the activity history.

Procurement History (IMPA-Ready)

The Item History tab aggregates all previously ordered items across all requisitions for your company. Use it to:

This eliminates re-entry errors and builds a de facto parts catalogue from your real order history — no separate catalogue maintenance required.

Analytics Dashboard

The Analytics tab provides fleet-wide procurement intelligence:

WidgetWhat it Shows
KPI CardsTotal requisitions, pending review, approved, ordered, delivered — with period-over-period comparison
Trend ChartMonthly requisition volume over the selected date range
Status DistributionDonut chart showing breakdown by current status
By VesselTop 10 vessels by requisition volume
By SupplierTop 10 suppliers by quote activity
By DepartmentRequisition breakdown by vessel department (Deck, Engine, Galley, etc.)
Bottleneck DetectionFlags requisitions stuck in a given status for more than 7 days (office_review, quoted, ordered)

Filter the analytics by date range, vessel, or department using the filter bar. Preset options (Last 30 / 90 / 365 days) are available for quick access.

Analytics requires an office (operator) login. Vessel crew do not have access to the analytics dashboard.

❓Frequently Asked Questions

NavMate

What is NavMate?

NavMate is the AI-powered maritime intelligence assistant built into NavSight Pro. It reads your live fleet data and answers questions in natural language — covering vetting, PSC, certificates, maintenance, compliance, and more.

How does NavMate work?

NavMate uses a large language model (Claude by Anthropic) combined with real-time access to your NavSight Pro fleet data. When you ask a question, NavMate retrieves the relevant records, interprets them in a maritime operational context, and composes a structured response with risk assessment and recommended actions.

What information can NavMate access?

NavMate has access to all data stored within your NavSight Pro account — fleet overview, vetting records, PSC inspections, certificates, maintenance jobs, compliance modules (ISM, ISPS, MARPOL, SOLAS, QHSE), incidents, and crew data. It cannot access data from other companies or external databases.

Does NavMate use live fleet data?

Yes. NavMate reads from your NavSight Pro database in real time. When you ask about overdue certificates or upcoming inspections, the answer reflects the current state of your records — not a snapshot from yesterday.

How are risk levels determined?

NavMate assesses risk based on operational significance: expiry timelines, PSC deficiency severity, vetting observation close-out status, and regulatory deadlines. Risk levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low) are contextual — a certificate expiring in 5 days is Critical; one expiring in 60 days is Medium.

Can NavMate compare vessels?

Yes. You can ask NavMate to compare vessels across any data dimension — PSC performance, certificate compliance, vetting readiness, maintenance backlog, or open deficiencies. For example: "Compare PSC detention history across all vessels."

Can NavMate generate executive reports?

NavMate can generate narrative summaries and operational insights suitable for management briefings. For formatted PDF/Excel reports, use the Reports module, which produces professionally formatted documents with your company branding.

What do source badges mean?

Source badges appear at the bottom of NavMate responses and indicate which part of NavSight Pro the data was drawn from (e.g. "Vetting Records", "PSC History", "Certificate Register"). They provide traceability so you can verify the underlying data if needed.

Can I export NavMate responses?

NavMate responses can be copied using the copy button in the response card header. For formatted exports, use the Reports module to generate PDF documents from the same underlying data.

Does NavMate remember previous questions?

NavMate maintains context within a single conversation session — so you can ask follow-up questions without repeating context. Conversation history is accessible via the 🕐 History button in the NavMate panel. Starting a new conversation (✏️ New) clears the current context.

Is my data secure when using NavMate?

Yes. All NavMate queries are processed within NavSight Pro's secure infrastructure. Your fleet data is never shared with third parties. The AI model (Claude by Anthropic) does not retain or train on your company's data between sessions.

Does NavMate replace superintendent judgement?

No. NavMate is a decision-support tool. It provides data-driven insights and operational context to help qualified maritime professionals make better-informed decisions faster. The judgement of your DPA, vetting superintendent, and technical superintendent remains paramount.


Platform

Can I import data from my existing spreadsheets?

Yes. Vessels can be imported via CSV using the template available in My Vessels → Import. Certificate data can also be bulk-imported via Excel. For MARPOL ORB entries and rest hour data, manual entry is required as these records must be verified by an officer.

What happens after the 90-day free trial?

At the end of your trial, all your data remains intact. You will be prompted to activate a subscription to continue. Pricing is per module, per vessel. You can contact support@navsightpro.com for a tailored quote.

Is data stored securely?

Yes. All data is stored on enterprise cloud infrastructure with SSL/TLS encryption in transit. Your company's data is fully isolated from other companies. NavSight Pro does not sell or share data with third parties. Documents are stored in Cloudflare R2 with access-controlled URLs.

Can I access NavSight Pro on a vessel with limited internet?

NavSight Pro is a cloud-based platform and requires an internet connection. For vessels with VSAT or low-bandwidth connections, the platform is optimised for minimal data transfer. Rest hour data and ORB entries can be entered in batch when connectivity is available.

How do I generate a report for a PSC inspection?

Go to Reports → PSC Readiness Report, select the vessel, and click Generate PDF. The report shows certificate status, outstanding deficiencies, drill compliance, and STCW rest hour summary on a single page suitable for presenting to a PSC officer.

Who do I contact for support?

Email support@navsightpro.com. We respond within one business day. For urgent issues during business hours, include [URGENT] in the subject line.
