Trainee Digital Record Book

Keel – the training record book, finally off paper.

Replace the dog-eared onboard training record book with a structured digital record cadets actually complete at sea — every task mapped to STCW, signed off by the supervising officer, and ready for company, class and flag review.

Mooring ops, enclosed-space entry

A record book built around how cadets actually train.

STCW-mapped task books

Deck and engine record books with every task pre-mapped to the relevant STCW table — A-II/1 and A-III/1 for cadets, A-II/4, A-II/5, A-III/4 and A-III/5 for ratings — so progress is always tied to the standard it certifies.

Verifiable officer sign-off

Supervising officers sign off tasks against a date and their rank, with Master and Chief Engineer review built in. Every completion carries a tamper-evident trail, so a signature means what it should.

Works at sea, syncs in port

Cadets record tasks offline during the voyage and the book syncs the moment there's connectivity — no lost evidence, no waiting for bandwidth in the middle of an ocean passage.

Live progress, ready for audit

Training officers and the office see exactly where each cadet stands across the whole book, and export a clean, complete record for company, class or flag inspection in a single click.
