Know rest-hour risk before the inspector does
From the office, see rest-hour compliance and risk across every vessel, with no chasing.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Rest-hour breaches are often discovered at inspection because manual sheets and shore-side Excel checks are done too late to fix anything.
The traditional approach
Paper hours-of-rest sheets sent ashore and re-checked in a spreadsheet days later, long after any violation could have been prevented.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
Digital hours-of-rest entry with a 30-minute block editor, rolling 24-hour and 7-day STCW checks, instant violation flags, locked periods, and PDF export for inspection.
Time back
Compliance is calculated as officers enter hours, so nobody re-runs rolling-window sums by hand.
Less waste
Catching violations onboard avoids the corrective admin and exposure that a port-state finding creates.
Lower risk
Rolling STCW and MLC checks flag breaches immediately and lock periods for a clean audit trail.

Questions before you commit
Does hours of rest work offline?
Yes. Day entries can be saved offline on the crew app and sync when connectivity returns.
Are violations flagged automatically?
Yes. The rolling 24-hour and 7-day checks flag breaches as hours are entered, not after the fact.
Can we export for inspection?
Yes. Records export to PDF with the compliance picture for port-state and internal review.
Does WaterTightVM guarantee STCW compliance?
No. WaterTightVM calculates and flags against STCW and MLC rules to help you manage rest. Actual compliance and rostering decisions remain the operator's responsibility.
