London, United Kingdom
What it is
ISF Watchkeeper helps ship managers plan, manage, and report crew work and rest hour compliance. It checks records against STCW, ILO MLC, US OPA 90, and OCIMF regulations. Watchkeeper 3 runs aboard vessels, where teams can plan and schedule crew hours, and synchronizes data with Watchkeeper Online for shore-based staff. The online dashboard monitors compliance across multiple vessels and provides alerts and historical reports. Seafarers can use Watchkeeper 4 Mobile on smartphones and tablets to record work and rest hours and see live compliance status. Watchkeeper 3 supports API and third-party crewing software integrations, while AppLink imports and exports information through Microsoft Excel files. It can cross-check recorded hours against vessel events for SIRE 2.0 and report acknowledgement of non-conformities. Global Analytics & Benchmarking compares fleet performance with industry data and identifies high-risk locations. The product is paid, with pricing available on request; a fully functional 30-day trial is offered for product versions. Watchkeeper Online trials can be requested and require Watchkeeper 3 Network Version.
