Every analysis card has an Explain button. It opens a panel that says what the card shows, how to read its kind of chart with a numbered drawing, how the figures are calculated and on what basis, what the card shows right now, how to use it, what to watch out for, and the words it uses, such as backlog, cohort or as-of date.

The basis names the measure a card follows where one exists: BIMCO Shipping KPIs for seafarers not relieved on time, sign-off reasons and rest hour violations, MLC 2006 and STCW for rest hours and certificates, OCIMF and SIGTTO for officer matrices, the INTERTANKO officer retention formula, IMPA codes for marine stores, and each port State control MoU's published figure for PSC findings.

For deficiencies, non-conformities, accidents, near misses and technical findings, Issue Flow follows every issue through its statuses. It shows what the open issues are waiting on and whether it is the office's move or the vessel's, the backlog over time, how old the open issues are, and how the open count at the start of the period became the count at its end.

Further cards show how long issues stay open, how long they sit in each status, whether recent issues close faster than earlier ones, which due dates moved and whether the vessel moved them, the work deferred to a dry dock, the paths issues take through the statuses, where in the fleet the backlog and overdue issues sit, and how many days pass from an event to its report, investigation and closure.

Four pages follow procurement from request to price. Flow shows where requisitions wait, how long each step takes, how goods were bought and how many days orders take to arrive on board. Spend shows where the money goes by vessel, category group, vendor and item, against last year and per vessel-month, with IMPA sections and how concentrated spend is among vendors.

Suppliers places each vendor by performance and spend, with delivery in full by the required date, quote behavior and supply routes from vendor country to delivery port. Price sets the spread of quotations against the award, the savings from average quotation to purchase order, each item's price history, IMPA item prices by vessel and port against the fleet average, and landed cost with freight, insurance and duty.

Each page opens with an overview. At a glance sets the page's main figures against earlier periods and lists the changes that most need attention, worst first, and a change that chance alone could explain reads as about the same. In words gives the same figures as sentences, each figure a link to the card it comes from, and a page map answers each section's question in a line, most with a small chart.

For deficiencies, non-conformities, accidents and near misses, root cause analytics show which causes are recorded most at the level you choose, how the cause categories move from period to period, and where in the fleet they occur: by vessel, vessel type, flag, class society or your own vessel groups.

Further cards set actual severity against potential severity, show the causes behind injuries by how serious they were, list port State deficiency codes, find repeats with how sure each repeat is and how long after the earlier issue closed it came back, show who finds the issues, and show how often the actions taken on each cause proved effective.

Four pages show how the audit program runs. The program page counts the audits done by month or place, shows how long ago each vessel and the office last had each internal audit, and compares booked audits with those done. The inspections page shows how often each authority found nothing, and PSC findings per inspection under each MoU, for each vessel and the fleet, against the MoU's own published figure.

The findings page sets your own audits against outside inspections and shows the checklist items answered No most often. The follow-up page shows whether the issues raised from findings close by their due date, and how long audit reports take to close.

Four pages. Critical spares shows whether each vessel's critical equipment has at least one of its spares on board, which critical spares are below minimum, and whether stock below its minimum is being reordered. Movement shows what added and took out stock by cause, with the reasons recorded, and how many days the stock on hand lasts at the period's rate of use.

Stock health shows how reliably counted quantities match the shelf, the share of fast, slow and non-moving lines, how long ago stock was received and how much is expired or close to it. Stock shows where stock sits by location and category group, how long arrivals wait to be put away, and how completely the stock lines record the data the analytics rely on.

For Crew Manager, the crew page shows who is aboard on any date by vessel, rank group and nationality, which seafarers are past their relief date and by how long, and the sign-offs that came after the contract end, by who agreed the extension. Retention over 12 months is shown by rank group, nationality, manning agent or vessel type, following the INTERTANKO officer retention formula.

Sign-off reasons, and the certificates of the seafarers aboard that have expired or expire soon, complete the page. Demographics show the crew by nationality and the age of those aboard by vessel and rank.

For Crew Planning, the planning page shows how many line-ups wait at each stage and for how long, the time to fill a vacancy, offer acceptance, where candidates move on and where they drop out. It sets each vessel's ranks against their minimum, shows whether each vessel's officers meet its charterer officer matrix, how many seafarers aboard meet the required training of their rank, and which upcoming crew changes are ready.

Five Payroll pages. Crew cost shows each vessel's cost per crewed day against its vessel type, what crew cost is made of, how gross pay becomes net and what overruns past the contract end cost. Wages lays out the wage ladder, the spread of pay within each rank and able seamen's basic pay against the ILO minimum wage.

Money home follows net pay to where it goes, allotments against the minimum share and the cost of sending pay. Pay operations shows how long runs take, the checks raised at approval and how often one person did two steps of a run. Crew protection sets overtime paid against overtime recorded, shows wages owed by how long they have been due, leave owed, and deductions with their consent.

For Work & Rest Hours, the rest hours page counts the crew-days on which a seafarer broke a limit, per vessel, per rank and per group of limits: daily, weekly or how rest is split. The non-conformity trend page counts rest hour non-conformities month by month for each vessel, with the fleet total, and the records show each seafarer in breach on each vessel.

Select a bar, slice or row in a chart and the other cards on the page narrow to it; select it again to clear it. The picks stay listed at the top of the page, and some cards switch between two views of the same subject from their header.

Each card says how many records it is based on out of how many are in scope. When the records lack the data a view needs, the card says so instead of drawing a misleading chart, and a Widen period button tries a longer period.

Each page ends with the records behind its cards, narrowed by the filters and every pick: the issues, the seafarers aboard and signed off, the ranks short of their minimum and the coming crew changes, the evaluations, and the seafarers in breach of rest hours.

For Evaluation & Feedback, the scores page shows how many crew evaluations were completed and scored, the median and average score, the lowest- and highest-scoring vessels, how scores spread across bands, and the median by rank and by vessel.

For Running Cost, a heatmap totals a vessel's invoices by month or quarter across its top-level cost categories, for verified invoices or every invoice that is not canceled. For Consumption & Waste, a chart shows each item's balance on a vessel through the year: what was added, used, lost, delivered ashore and discharged as waste.

Ask Navatom AI about the issue flow, root cause and audit analytics in plain language, for the whole fleet or one vessel and any period you name. The answer uses the same figures as the cards, and says when the data is too thin to read a trend from.

Admins decide for each vessel whether it is included in the analytics reports, and the vessel lists of the analytics pages follow that choice. Root cause and issue pages can also be filtered by your own vessel groups.
