Fleet and ship management · Ålesund

Ship management that works at sea — with or without a signal.

Maintenance, crew and certificates, rest hours, checklists, permits, drills and the record books. One system for the ship and the office, built to keep working when the link does not.

Why NoRemarks

Built for the way a ship actually works

Built for no signal

Every screen works in a machinery space, a fjord or a field with nothing. Records are made, signed and closed on board, and sent when the link returns.

One product, every module

No edition that withholds the oil record book and no module sold separately. The drills read the crew list; a defect reported on deck becomes a job on its component.

The regulation built in

Each module starts from the text it answers to — STCW, MLC, SOLAS, MARPOL, the ISM and ISPS Codes and the Norwegian regulations — and the same rules run on the device and on the server.

The product

From the engine room to the office

Planned maintenance

The plant, and what falls due

A component tree with criticality and class references, jobs by calendar or running hours, and a due list each department works from. A postponement needs a risk assessment, and critical work cannot slip past its own maximum.

  • Calendar and running-hour intervals
  • Notes for the next person, time used and a checklist on every job
  • A defect reported on deck becomes a job on the component

Work and rest hours

Rest hours on the seafarer’s own phone

The day arrives drawn from the watch pattern. The seafarer changes what was different and confirms it; the four STCW and MLC limits are checked as it goes; the master reviews, signs the month and prints the KS-0300 form.

  • 10 hours in any 24, 77 in any 7 days
  • Non-conformities flagged, never rounded away
  • Signed with a PIN, printed on the statutory form

Permits, gas tests and checklists

The order of the work, enforced

A permit knows what its work and its space require — a rescue team, an attendant, a gas test — and cannot be authorised before them. Gas readings are held against their limits, and the day’s checklists appear when they fall due.

  • Hot work, working at height and enclosed space entry
  • Worst reading per gas against its minimum or maximum
  • Signatures in the order the work needs them

The fleet office

Every vessel on one screen

One card per vessel, worst state first. The certificate matrix measures expiry against the next crew change, and the relief pool is ranked by who holds what the position needs.

  • Fleet overview, certificate matrix and rotation planner
  • Purchasing approvals under your own thresholds
  • The daily report from every vessel, every morning

Offline-first

A ship is offline. So the software was built that way.

Most ship systems are written as though the ship were an office: a synchronisation job, a spinner, and a crew that learns within a fortnight to keep the real record on paper.

Here the device holds the vessel’s data and every rule that governs it. Nothing waits for a server — and when the link returns, what was done on board is sent, checked again by the same rules, and never quietly rejected.

  1. Recorded on boardWritten, signed and closed with no signal.
  2. Held in a queueDurably, on the device, in the order it happened.
  3. Sent when the link returnsAnd checked ashore by the same code.

Ålesund

Built on the coast, for the vessels on it

NoRemarks is written in Ålesund, in Norwegian and in English, by the people who built it. They answer your requests themselves, and something you report as wrong is put right quickly.

About us

Questions

What shipowners ask first

Is the electronic oil record book approved?

Approval of an electronic record book is granted by the flag administration to a shipowner, not to a vendor, and it is a conversation between the two of them. What we provide is a record built to the requirements it will be judged against — entries that cannot be altered after signature, corrections made as new entries, a true copy that prints in the statutory layout — and the documentation of how it works, for that conversation.

What happens if a vessel has no signal for a week?

The work carries on. Jobs are closed, rest hours are recorded and reviewed, the oil record book is written, checklists are completed and defects are reported with photographs — each on the device it is done on, where it queues in a durable outbox.

What a week without a link does change is that the devices on board do not see each other’s work until it returns, because they reach each other through the server ashore. A permit is therefore raised, gas-tested and signed on one device that goes round the people who sign it, as a clipboard would: each signs as themselves, with their own PIN or a drawn signature, and the permit records whose device it was. Its check against other work covers the permits that device knows about, and says so.

When the link comes back each device sends what it did and pulls what it missed. Nothing is lost and nothing disappears silently: the rules ran on the device when the work was done, and the rare entry that another device’s work has overtaken — two people closing the same job — is shown to the person who made it.

Can we move our existing maintenance register in?

Yes. Components, jobs, intervals and history come in as ordinary rows — there is no second-class imported data and no reconciliation project afterwards. What takes the time is not the import; it is deciding which of the eleven thousand jobs in the old system are real.

Is there an app, or is it a website?

Both, and it is the same code. It installs from the browser to a home screen and runs full-screen with no address bar, and it is packaged for the App Store and Google Play for companies whose device management requires that.

Who can see what?

A role is granted at a scope — the company, a fleet, or a single vessel — and the product asks whether this person may do this thing here, rather than what their title is. Delegations expire by themselves and explicit denials outrank grants.

One thing nobody can see, at any level: another person’s messages.

Put one vessel on it for two months

No card and no implementation project. A company adds its own vessel and its own people on its own afternoon — and if it is not for you, you stop, with your data exported first.
