The product

Applications prepared. Exceptions surfaced. Decisions yours.

One system for the whole registration: what an owner sends you, what is checked before you see it, what your registrars decide, and the register it all writes to.

[01]

Email becomes a file, not a to-do.

It reads
The email thread and its attachments, from contacts the registry already knows. An unknown sender is quarantined rather than read into a file.
It proposes
An application, with the vessel, the owner, what the letter asked for and what is still missing — plus anything it refused to act on, such as a mail instructing it to waive a fee.
You decide
A person, who accepts the file or turns it away. Until then nothing exists on the register.

Nothing files itself. An officer confirms the proposal.

[02]

Your checklist, proposed for you.

It reads
Your catalogue, and the facts of this vessel and this transaction — flag, type, tonnage, the parties involved.
It proposes
The checklist this file should carry, drawn from your own requirements and your own conditions.
You decide
An officer confirms the checklist before it reaches the applicant. Your rules decide what is on it; the agent only decides what to suggest.

[03]

A certificate for the wrong ship is caught before the file is opened.

It reads
Each document as it lands: type, issuer, dates, tonnage, class, official number, IMO — against the register, and against the other documents on the file.
It proposes
A finding beside the document, stating what it read and what it compared. A disagreement between two documents is raised as its own notice, because the register cannot settle it.
You decide
A registrar, who can overrule any finding in one click. A wrong reading costs somebody a document they would have read anyway.

Findings stay beside the file and name their source.

[04]

Nothing waits silently, and nothing is chased by hand.

It reads
What every file in flight is waiting on, and how long it has been waiting.
It proposes
The next action on each file, the chase that has come due, and the words for it — drafted from the findings rather than typed again.
You decide
Your team, who decide what is sent and when. Nothing leaves the registry unread.

The file arrives decision-ready, and the decision is yours.

It reads
The completed file: what cleared, what was waived, who signed off and when.
It proposes
A decision-ready file, with the certificate assembled and the register entry prepared.
You decide
Only an authorised officer issues the flag. The certificate is generated in the same act that updates the register.

Inside the register

Five modules. One register.

Open any one of them. Everything inside is already built, and all of it writes to the same book.

  • Reflagging — same owner
  • Re-registration
  • Bareboat charter — in
  • Bareboat charter — out
  • Laid-up
  • Under construction

And the owner's side

The same file, from the other end.

An owner does not receive a list of requirements by email and retype them into a form. They see your checklist — one obligation at a time, in your words, with each document read before it reaches you.
