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:
- Total Vessels — the number of vessels registered in your company account.
- Valid Certificates — count of certificates currently within their validity period.
- Fleet Compliance — average PSC readiness score across all vessels (0–100%).
- Expiring Soon — vessels with at least one certificate expiring within 90 days. Hover to see the vessel names.
- Expired — vessels with at least one expired certificate. Hover for the list.
- Open Issues — total of overdue PMS jobs, open QHSE CARs, and open ISM non-conformities. Hover to see the breakdown by module.
Adding a vessel
- 1Click + Add VesselFrom the Fleet Overview or My Vessels page, click the + Add Vessel button in the top-right corner.
- 2Enter vessel detailsFill in the vessel name, IMO number, MMSI, flag state, vessel type (tanker, bulk, container, etc.), gross tonnage, and year built.
- 3Save 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
| Colour | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Valid | Certificate is within its validity period and more than 90 days from expiry. |
| Amber | Expiring | Certificate expires within 90 days. Review and initiate renewal immediately. |
| Red | Expired | Certificate has passed its expiry date. Immediate action required. |
| Grey | No date | No expiry date recorded. Verify whether a date is applicable. |
Adding a certificate
- 1Open the vessel and click CertificatesNavigate to the vessel detail page and select the Certificates tab.
- 2Click + Add CertificateSelect the certificate type from the dropdown, enter the issue date, expiry date, and optionally upload a scanned copy.
- 3SaveThe 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
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| STCW Reg VIII/1 | Minimum 10 hours rest in any 24-hour period; minimum 77 hours in any 7-day period |
| MLC 2006 Std A2.3 | Maximum 14 hours work in any 24-hour period; maximum 72 hours in any 7-day period |
| STCW — Split rest | 10-hour rest may be split into no more than two periods, one of at least 6 hours |
| Short-sea / special | Exceptions under STCW Reg VIII/1 para 3 flag-state dispensations are tracked separately |
Timesheet workflow
- 1Crew 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.
- 2Submit for reviewThe crew member submits the completed timesheet. Status moves to Submitted. The vessel Master or Chief Officer can then review the entry.
- 3Shore 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.
- 4CountersignatureOnce approved, the Master countersigns the timesheet to attest correctness. Status moves to Countersigned.
- 5LockThe 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:
- Total timesheets — all submitted periods across all vessels
- Compliant — timesheets with zero violations
- Pending review — submitted timesheets awaiting shore approval
- Donut chart — breakdown by COMPLIANT / WARNING / VIOLATION across the fleet
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
- Maintenance Job — a scheduled task with a due date or running-hour trigger (e.g. engine service every 500 hours).
- Job Card — the record created when a job is completed, including who did it, when, and what was found.
- Defect Report — an unplanned defect found during operation or inspection, with corrective action tracking.
- Running Hours — hour meter readings for engines and machinery that trigger hour-based maintenance tasks.
Creating a maintenance schedule
- 1Go to PMS for the vesselSelect the vessel and open the PMS module. Click + Add Job.
- 2Set job detailsEnter the job name, system/equipment, category, responsible officer, interval (days or running hours), and next due date.
- 3Complete 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 Part | Applies to | Key entries |
|---|---|---|
| Part I | All ships over 400 GT | Bilge pumping, sludge disposal, bunker operations, tank cleaning, accidental discharges |
| Part II | Oil tankers over 150 GT | Ballast/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.
- Enter fuel consumption data monthly under MARPOL → Fuel Logs.
- The CII dashboard shows the current annual rating and the required rating for the vessel's type and size.
- The SEEMP Part III document is automatically populated with the CII data for flag state submission.
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:
- Abandon Ship / Muster Drills — monthly as required by SOLAS Regulation III/19.
- Fire Drills — monthly, alternating with abandon ship drills.
- Man Overboard (MOB) Drills — every three months.
- Enclosed Space Entry Drills — every two months.
- GMDSS Equipment Tests — daily, weekly, and annual tests as required.
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
- 1Raise deficiencyAny officer or manager can raise a deficiency. Enter the description, category (PSC, internal audit, near miss, etc.), vessel, location, and severity.
- 2Assign and set due dateA responsible officer is assigned. A target close-out date is set. The deficiency status becomes Open.
- 3Record corrective actionWhen action is taken, the assigned officer records what was done. Status moves to Action Taken — Pending Review.
- 4DPA/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)
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 Miss | Event with the potential to cause injury or damage but did not |
| Property Damage | Damage to vessel, cargo, or third-party property |
| Pollution / Environmental | Unplanned 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.
SIRE 2.0 pre-inspection workflow
- 1Create inspection recordUnder Vetting → New Inspection, enter the inspection date, inspector company (Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, etc.), and vessel.
- 2Complete the PIQThe Pre-Inspection Questionnaire (PIQ) covers vessel particulars, equipment, certificates, and recent history. NavSight Pro prefills data from other modules where available.
- 3Upload vessel photographsAttach the required SIRE 2.0 photograph set (mooring, accommodation, deck, engine room, bridge, etc.). The Vessel Submission Portal can be used to collect photos directly from the vessel without the crew needing a platform account.
- 4Record observationsAfter the inspection, record each observation with its SIRE chapter reference, description, severity, and close-out action. Track the close-out deadline.
- 5Track oil major approvalUpdate the oil major approval status for each major (Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Total, Chevron, etc.). The fleet readiness score is updated automatically.
The fleet vetting readiness score on the Fleet Overview is calculated from open observations, overdue close-outs, and current oil major approval status across all vessels.

Inviting a team member
- 1Go to Settings → TeamOpen the Settings menu from the left sidebar and select Team Management.
- 2Click Invite MemberEnter the person's work email address and select their role (Manager, Officer, or Crew).
- 3They accept the inviteThe invitee receives an email with a secure link to set their password and join your company account. The link expires in 48 hours.
Changing roles and removing access
Admins can change a team member's role at any time from the Team page. To remove access, click Deactivate next to the user. Deactivated users cannot log in but their historical records remain intact for audit purposes.
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
- 1Generate 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.
- 2Vessel 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.
- 3Crew 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.
- 4Shore 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
- 1Crew 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.
- 2Office is notifiedThe Workflow Center badge increments. The submission appears in the All Workflows queue with stage
submitted. - 3Office 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).
- 4Crew 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.
- 5Closure 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.
- Click any card to open the full Workflow Detail.
- Resubmit a returned record by adding a note and clicking Resubmit.
- Mark corrective actions as implemented once work is complete.
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.
- Click any row to open the Workflow Detail.
- Use this page to track whether a submission has been approved, returned, or is still under review.
Workflow Detail (inline)
Opens inside the portal — not a popup. Contains:
- Header card — module badge, stage chip, priority, SLA status, assigned reviewer.
- Action buttons — context-sensitive: Resubmit (if stage = returned), Mark Implemented (if stage = approved).
- Timeline — every stage change, comment, and evidence upload in chronological order.
- Discussion — two-way messaging with the office. Unread messages highlighted.
- Evidence Gallery — view all uploaded files. Drag-and-drop or click to upload new evidence (max 50 MB per file). Photos, PDFs, Word, Excel, and video all supported.
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:
- Stage Advance buttons — Start Review, Approve, Return to Vessel (requires a reason), Verify Implementation, Close Workflow. Only valid transitions for the current stage are shown.
- Assign Reviewer — Dropdown of all team members. Select and click Assign to route the review. The assigned name appears on the queue card and in the timeline.
- Timeline — every event logged: stage changes (who, when, note), comments, evidence uploads, reviewer assignments, SLA breaches.
- Discussion thread — send messages directly to the vessel. Messages appear in the crew's My Tasks discussion thread.
- Evidence Gallery — view and download all files. Office can also upload additional evidence (e.g., corrective action reports, photographs).
| Current Stage | Office can advance to | Crew can advance to |
|---|---|---|
submitted | under_review, returned | — |
under_review | approved, returned | — |
returned | — | resubmitted |

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
- "How many workflows are SLA breached?" — Returns total breached count and the top 5 by urgency.
- "Show me my office queue." — Lists open workflows waiting on office action, sorted by urgency score.
- "Which vessels have returned items?" — Lists submissions returned to crew, grouped by vessel.
- "What QHSE workflows are still open?" — Filters by module.
- "Are there any critical priority workflows?" — Returns critical-priority open items.
- "What is the workflow status for MV Example?" — Returns per-vessel workflow summary.
- "How many workflows are at risk of breaching SLA?" — Returns at_risk count (due within 24h).
NavMate's workflow context loads automatically when you ask about tasks, submissions, queues, SLA, or workflow. No special command needed — just ask naturally.

Best Practices
Limitations
NavMate is a powerful tool but it is important to understand its scope:
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:
| Status | Owner | Description |
|---|---|---|
| draft | Vessel | Created but not yet submitted. Crew can edit freely. |
| submitted | Office | Vessel has submitted. Awaiting office review. |
| office_review | Office | Operator has opened the requisition for review. |
| quoted | Office | One or more supplier quotes received and attached. |
| approved | Office | Quote selected and requisition approved. |
| ordered | Office | Purchase order issued to supplier. |
| partially_delivered | Vessel | Some items received; awaiting remainder. |
| delivered | Vessel | All items received. Vessel has confirmed receipt. |
| cancelled | Office | Requisition cancelled at any point before delivery. |
Vessel Requisitions
Crew log in to the Vessel Portal and open the Procurement tab. They can:
- Create a new requisition: enter title, department, priority, and required date
- Add line items: description, quantity, unit, and optional IMPA code
- Attach supporting files and add comments for the office team
- Save as draft and return to edit before submitting
- Submit to office — triggers an in-app notification to the operator team
- View status updates and office comments in real time
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:
- Pending Review tab — lists all submitted requisitions awaiting action. Click to open, review items, and approve or reject.
- RFQ tab — send a Request for Quotation to one or more suppliers. Each supplier receives the item list.
- Quotes tab — receive and enter supplier quotes. The side-by-side comparison view highlights the lowest price per item.
- Orders tab — after selecting a quote, issue a Purchase Order. Status advances to ordered and the vessel is notified.
- 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:
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| Pending Review | Submitted requisitions awaiting operator action |
| RFQ | Requisitions in the quoting stage — manage supplier outreach |
| Quotes | Enter received quotes; compare side-by-side; select winning quote |
| Orders | Active purchase orders and partially delivered items |
| Deliveries | Awaiting vessel receipt confirmation; recently delivered |

Requisition Review
When an operator opens a requisition, the detail panel shows:
- Requisition header: vessel, department, priority, required date, and source
- Line items table with IMPA codes and linked PMS equipment (if applicable)
- Activity history: all status changes with timestamps and actor
- Ship-shore comments thread: real-time messaging between vessel crew and operators
- Attachments: upload and download supporting documents
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:
- Company name, contact name, email, phone
- Category (e.g., Marine Equipment, Lubricants, Safety Equipment)
- Country and notes
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:
- Click Add Quote and enter the supplier's reference number, validity date, and currency
- Fill in the unit price and notes for each line item
- Save the quote — status advances to quoted
- Use the Compare Quotes view to see all quotes side-by-side; the lowest price per item is highlighted
- Click Select Quote to mark the winning quote — status advances to approved
Purchase Orders
Once a quote is selected, issue the Purchase Order:
- Click Issue PO from the requisition detail panel
- Enter the PO number, expected delivery date, and any PO notes
- 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:
- Click Record Delivery and enter per-item quantities received
- If all quantities match the ordered amount, status advances to delivered
- If some items are still outstanding, status becomes partially_delivered
- Quantity delivered is capped at quantity ordered — no over-delivery is permitted
Vessel Receipt Confirmation
After delivery is recorded by the office, the vessel crew must confirm receipt:
- In the Vessel Portal Procurement tab, open the delivered requisition
- The PO card shows a Confirm Receipt button
- Crew enter per-item quantities actually received onboard, received-by name, and receipt remarks
- Submit — the receipt is logged and the office is notified
PMS Integration
Procurement integrates directly with the PMS module in two ways:
| Integration Point | How to Use |
|---|---|
| Defect → Requisition | Open a PMS defect, click Raise Requisition. A requisition is pre-filled with the defect title and linked via defect_id. |
| Job Card → Requisition | Open 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: vessel crew and operators post messages that are time-stamped and attributed. Both parties see the full thread.
- Attachments: upload images, PDFs, or datasheets. Files are stored in Cloudflare R2 and linked to the requisition.
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:
- Search items by description or IMPA code
- See how frequently an item has been ordered and on which vessels
- Copy an item directly into a new requisition using the Use Item button on the vessel portal
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:
| Widget | What it Shows |
|---|---|
| KPI Cards | Total requisitions, pending review, approved, ordered, delivered — with period-over-period comparison |
| Trend Chart | Monthly requisition volume over the selected date range |
| Status Distribution | Donut chart showing breakdown by current status |
| By Vessel | Top 10 vessels by requisition volume |
| By Supplier | Top 10 suppliers by quote activity |
| By Department | Requisition breakdown by vessel department (Deck, Engine, Galley, etc.) |
| Bottleneck Detection | Flags 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.
Security & Access Control
- Vessel crew can only see their own vessel's requisitions, identified by MMSI. They cannot view requisitions from other vessels.
- Office users see all requisitions for their company. Cross-company data access is not possible.
- Quote line items are validated against the requisition before saving — no cross-requisition item references are permitted.
- Delivery quantities are capped server-side at the ordered quantity — over-delivery cannot be recorded.
- All
company_idvalues are sourced from the authenticated JWT — never from request parameters.
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.
