Audit evidence packs without the Friday scramble
Live KPIs, suggested checklist status, and gaps let you fix problems at source before the inspection, not after a finding.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Preparing for a PSC, flag, or class inspection means digging through modules to assemble evidence and hoping nothing is overdue.
The traditional approach
Audit prep done by exporting from each module into a folder by hand, with gaps only found once the inspector is aboard.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
An inspection readiness hub: open an inspection type to see live KPIs, evidence sections, and gaps; walk the vessel with Checklist runs that suggest readiness from live records; then generate a ZIP evidence pack. You confirm Pass — evidence never auto-passes a point.
Time back
Evidence sections and checklist runs pull live from certificates, drills, PMS, and statutory books, so prep stops being a manual export-and-collate exercise.
Less waste
Custom inspection types avoid one-size-fits-all prep and the wasted effort of gathering irrelevant evidence.
Lower risk
Live KPIs, suggested checklist status, and gaps let you fix problems at source before the inspection, not after a finding.

Questions before you commit
Where does the evidence come from?
Sections and checklist points reflect live data from source modules—certificates, drills, PMS, defects, and where configured statutory record books. Fix data at source and the hub updates.
Do checklist runs declare the vessel ready?
No. WaterTightVM collects matching records and suggests readiness. You must confirm Pass. Company SMS, flag, and class requirements decide whether the vessel is ready.
Can we create our own inspection types?
Yes. Alongside platform standards (PSC, MARPOL, ISM), companies can configure custom types such as a flag-state audit or class annual.
Is a generated pack a compliance declaration?
No. Packs organise existing records; they are not a declaration of compliance or survey readiness. Review every document and date before handing it over.
