Voyage and cargo records on the vessel calendar
Structured cargo records and documents reduce rework; IMDG/IMSBC/ISGOTT rule checks are under development and are not available yet.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Cargo compliance validated by hand carries a high risk of stowage and documentation errors that surface too late.
The traditional approach
Spreadsheets and standalone cargo tools disconnected from voyage planning and the vessel's own schedule.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
Cargo voyages and port calls reusing the vessel calendar, cargo records, a documents hub, NOR and letters of protest, and a visual stowage builder. Automated IMDG, IMSBC, and ISGOTT compliance checks are under development — not live today.
Time back
Voyages come from the shared vessel calendar, so cargo teams focus on SOF, NOR, and laytime rather than re-entering schedules.
Less waste
Accurate laytime and documentation reduce demurrage disputes and rework.
Lower risk
Structured cargo records and documents reduce rework; IMDG/IMSBC/ISGOTT rule checks are under development and are not available yet.

Questions before you commit
Does cargo work offline?
Yes. Cargo events can be queued offline on the crew app and sync later.
Where are voyages created?
Voyages are configured on the vessel calendar and reused by cargo for SOF, NOR, and laytime—not created separately in cargo.
What compliance standards are checked?
IMDG, IMSBC, and ISGOTT rule checks are under development and are not live in WaterTightVM today. Final responsibility for safe, compliant cargo operations remains with the Master and operator.
Does WaterTightVM guarantee cargo compliance?
No. When rule checks ship, they will support validation and documentation only. Final responsibility remains with the Master and operator.
Is Cargo Record Book the statutory Annex II book?
Cargo Operations → Cargo Record Book is the operational NLS / cargo ledger. The statutory MARPOL Annex II electronic book is planned under Statutory record books (under development).
