Crew Planning Checks MLC, Safe Manning and Overlaps

Crew Planning refuses tours past the MLC 12-month limit and double-booked seafarers, treats safe manning as the floor and adds a training matrix.

The 12-Month Limit, Enforced

Crew Planning refuses a plan that keeps a seafarer on board for 12 months or more on a vessel under the MLC, and the board warns well before. It also refuses a plan, assignment or date change that would book the same seafarer twice.

Safe Manning as the Floor

The Minimum Safe Manning Document is the hard floor for each vessel, with a safe manning count per rank, and the company's own minimum and desired counts sit above it.

A Training Matrix per Ship

Each ship gets a training matrix of the STCW and MLC courses every rank needs, by ship type and fuel. Line-ups move forward only with their evidence: screening done, certificates checked and every approval given.

The Vessel Knows Its Regime

A Regulatory Profile on each vessel records its service category, trading area and other facts, and a Crewing section shows which crewing rules follow from them.
