Documentation modules keep the controlled documents of a safety management system in one place. Manuals and Circulars are written in the browser, approved by named approvers, released to the ships and ranks that need them, and confirmed as read on board.
Certificates tracks each vessel's certificates with the surveys and audits behind them and warns before they expire. Forms sends checklists and forms to chosen ships, ranks or office teams, once or on a schedule, and routes what comes back for approval.
