Narrow it down

From the whole fleet to the one record

Filter results by ship, type, status and more. Every filter shows how many results it holds before you pick it.

Same words, the right answers for each person

The office sees the vessels each person may see. On board, crew see their own ship and the manuals and circulars meant for their rank.

Navatom AI searches the same way

Ask Navatom AI about a record and it uses Search to find it, then answers with the records it found as sources.

Forgiving when you type fast, exact when you need it

Typos still find the record. Switch to Strict, or put a phrase in quotes, when only the exact words will do.

FAQ

Questions fleet managers ask about Navatom Search

Does Navatom search inside PDF manuals and circulars?

Yes. Navatom Search reads the text of manuals and circulars, whether they are PDF, Word or written in Navatom, so a search finds the paragraph that holds the words, not only documents with a matching title.

Does it understand abbreviations like ME, C/E or IGS?

Yes. Search knows common maritime abbreviations and terms, so ME, M/E and main engine find the same records, and IGS finds inert gas system. It also forgives typos, unless you switch to Strict matching or put a phrase in quotes.

Can the crew use it on board?

Yes. Search works in the ship app for every module it covers except crew records, which stay an office search.

Will anyone see records they should not?

No. Every search is limited to the modules a person works in and the vessels they may see. On board, manuals and circulars are also limited to the ranks they were issued to.

Which modules does one search cover?

Manuals, Circulars, Certificates, Planned Maintenance System, the five issue modules (Deficiencies, Non-Conformities, Accidents, Near Misses and Technical Findings), Procurement, Crew Manager, Drills, Safety Meetings, Audits, Masters Reviews, Material, Inventory and Directory. Each appears to the people who work in that module.

Does it search in our own language?

Yes. Search finds records and documents in the language your people write them in, so a fleet that keeps its records in its own language searches them just as easily.

Is it the same search Navatom AI uses?

Yes. When you ask Navatom AI about a record, it uses Search to find it, with the same limits on what you may see, and answers with the records it found.
