Visitors

The gangway visitor book,
without the book.

Painters, surveyors, agents, port officials: everyone signs in on the iPad before they step aboard. The visitor log writes itself.

Every plan

iPad · the gangway screen visitors sign in on

Checked in before they board.

A visitor arrives at the gangway and works through the screen: who they are, who they are here to see, the agreement, the photo. Nothing about the visit lives in anyone's memory.

A photo, every time

Taken at check-in. Every visitor on the board has a face, which is what a watchkeeper actually needs at 0200.

A named host

Heads of department are listed with photo, rank and whether they are aboard. The host's phone gets the arrival, with the visitor's name and photo, and the visit is filed under them.

The agreement, signed first

The visitor agreement or NDA is signed on the iPad before boarding and kept with the visit.

ID checks and searches follow the security level in force. How the ISPS check-in works

The visitor log, kept for you.

Who boarded, when they arrived, when they left, who they were visiting and who cleared them. The record a paper gangway log book is supposed to hold, except this one is searchable and always legible.

The admin visitor board listing current visitors with company, host, whether they were searched and their last activity, and offboarded visitors with departure times below. — Admin · aboard now, and the visitors who have left

The live boardEveryone aboard right now, with time on board counting live. Sign out is one press.

The historyEvery past visit, searchable by name, company, host or date range, with whether each visitor was searched.

The PDFVisitor, came in, left, searched by, and both signatures. The file you hand port state control.

RetentionRecords are kept as long as you decide, and a visitor can be erased whenever you want.

What the ISPS Code asks of the visitor record is set out in the help centre. ISPS visitor log requirements

The gangway remembers.

A paper book forgets everyone the moment the page turns. This record works for you.

Flag a visitor

Flag someone once, with the reason. If they check in again, even months later under a new record, every admin on the vessel gets an email at that moment. The flag survives a data wipe.

ID, scanned and read

The visitor's ID document is scanned at check-in and read on the iPad. The record keeps the document photo and whether the name on it matched the one they gave.

Departures you can correct

A contractor whose sign-out was missed can have their departure time corrected afterwards. Who changed it, when and why is kept, so hours on board stay honest.

Built for contractor season.

A yard period puts more people over the gangway in a week than a season of guests. The check-in is built to take it.

Return visitors, in seconds

A returning contractor is recognised by name and their details offered from the last visit. Most are through in about fifteen seconds.

A badge at the gangway

Visitor badges print at check-in on a Brother label printer, and a visitor who must stay accompanied prints a red Restricted badge. Setting one up takes a few minutes.

The end of the day

Automatic checkout signs out everyone still on the board at a time you set. An overstay email tells you if someone is aboard past it.

No connection at the yard? Check-ins and sign-outs queue on the iPad and sync when the WiFi returns.

Need their paperwork before they arrive? An external form goes out by link and comes back to the vessel, with no account to create. External forms
