Rest is counted
by the quarter hour.
The record keeps itself.
Seafarers' hours of work and rest. Crew log their watches on their phone, even offline. The master validates. The company follows the whole fleet and prints the record in the French regulatory format. Built for French law, not only for IMO thresholds.
The record is mandatory.
Keeping it right is too.
Every seafarer has a monthly record of hours of work and rest, signed by them and by the master. Kept on paper or in a spreadsheet, it is filled in at month end and found wrong on inspection day.
Filled in from memory
Sheets are copied at month end from memory and the watch schedule. What really happened the night of a breakdown is not there, and nobody can prove it afterwards.
Non-compliance found on inspection
A rest period too short, a week too heavy: the gap shows when the inspector opens the record, not while there was still time to change the watch.
Thresholds that are not yours
International tools start from the MLC thresholds, 14 hours of work a day. French law sets 12 by default, with its own regimes for passenger lines.
A signature that proves nothing
A sheet signed then corrected no longer says what the seafarer signed. Without versions, the record protects neither the seafarer nor the company.
The seafarer logs.
The master validates.
The company steers.
Everyone sees what concerns them, on the screen at hand: the phone on board, the computer ashore.
The seafarer logs watches
Work periods across the day, by the quarter hour, from the phone, even without signal. Copy yesterday and rotation templates avoid retyping. They see what is left before the limit.
The master validates
At month end the seafarer signs the sheet and the master validates it. A sheet changed after signature cannot be validated, and reopening creates a new version: the old one stays.
The company steers the fleet
Non-compliance on each vessel, the monthly record in the French format as PDF, the watch schedule, and night and overtime hours exported for payroll.
The vessel's rules,
checked at every entry.
Checking does not wait for month end. It happens when the seafarer records the day.
French law as written
Each vessel carries its regime: decree 2005-305, the agreement for scheduled passenger lines, STCW, MLC. Daily, weekly and fourteen-day limits are computed as the text states them.
What is left before a breach
Seafarer and master see how many hours can still be worked without breaking a rule. The watch is adjusted before, not after.
The record gets inspected.
It is better kept
as you go.
The record of hours of rest is required on board every vessel, and it is one of the documents the inspector asks for on board. Keeping it day by day costs less than rebuilding it.
Inspection on board
A monthly record per seafarer in the regulatory format, in French and English, ready to print, with the copy handed to the seafarer.
Payroll
Night and overtime hours come out of the same log as the record. One entry, no double counting.
VAIATA Compas
Quart is ready to connect to VAIATA Compas, the maintenance and ISM tool: crew and vessels will be able to come in from it, and validated records and rest findings to go back to it.
Keep the record before inspection,
not during it.
