Masters Reviews

Build comprehensive review checklists with five question types — Checkbox, Staged, Inquiry, Single Choice, and Multiple Choice. Each checklist item captures the specific evidence your masters need to evaluate, with structured response formats that drive consistent, comparable results across reviews and vessels.

Staged items support progressive assessment (e.g., Not Started / In Progress / Completed). Inquiry items capture free-text observations. Choice items enforce selection from predefined options. Hierarchical categories organize checklist items into logical groups — safety equipment, navigation systems, cargo operations — mirroring the structure of your ISM manual.

Assign review definitions to specific ships in your fleet, ensuring that each vessel receives the appropriate review templates for its type, trade, and regulatory requirements. Ship assignment is managed at the definition level — release a definition and assign it to one or more vessels in a single workflow.

With support for 29 onboard crew ranks across Deck and Engine departments, the system understands who is aboard and who is responsible. While the Captain is always the sole reviewer, rank-aware assignment ensures the right definitions reach the right vessels with the right context.

Schedule reviews directly into the Navatom calendar system. Each review creates a calendar event with date, vessel, and assigned definition. Support for recurring schedules — Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly — handles everything from weekly safety walkthroughs to annual ISM self-assessments.

Recurring review schedules automatically generate future review events based on your configured frequency. Calendar visibility ensures the Captain, fleet superintendent, and shore management all see upcoming reviews in their planning views. Changes to review dates or status propagate to the calendar in real time.

Add, edit, and delete comments on any review to create a threaded conversation between the Captain and shore-side management. Comments provide a communication channel that lives alongside the review data — no need to switch to email or messaging apps to discuss findings.

Every comment action (add, edit, delete) is recorded in the event log with full user attribution and timestamp. Comments become part of the permanent review record, providing context that enhances the formal checklist and report data.

Every action within a masters review is recorded in a granular event log. Eleven operation event types — Created, Added File, Removed File, Edited File, Delete Comment, Edit Comment, Added Comment, Updated Report, Status Changed, Reviewed, and Remove Review — capture every change to the review record.

Seventeen meta event types track definition lifecycle changes, checklist modifications, ship assignments, and administrative actions. The combined 28 event types provide a second-by-second narrative of the entire review process, fully auditable for ISM compliance and external inspection.

Generate professional PDF reports for any completed masters review with a single click. The exported report includes the full review record — checklist responses, rich text report, file attachment references, office review notes, and comment history — formatted for archival or external submission.

Use printed reports for ISM audit evidence, classification society reviews, fleet management presentations, and internal safety reviews. The format follows maritime industry conventions, ensuring your masters review documentation meets the standards expected by regulatory authorities.
