An Emerging Passenger Safety Risk Ferry Operators Need to Know About
Passengers jumping from moving ferries while being filmed for social media...are your crew prepared? Four ferry operators. Four separate incidents. The same dangerous behaviour. A passenger moves towards the edge of a ferry while someone else begins filming. Within seconds, the passenger jumps from the moving vessel into the water—all for a video to upload to social media. Over the past few months, four SeaLogs customers have experienced this. At first, these incidents could

How Do We Know Who's Actually Done Their Training? — The Question Every Fleet Manager Should Be Asking
Knowing who completed training—and who missed it—is one of the biggest challenges in maritime crew compliance. The Question That Comes Up on Almost Every Call It usually goes something like this. We're about twenty minutes into a conversation — talking about how a fleet runs day-to-day — and someone pauses and says: "We do drills every Tuesday morning. But honestly? I'm not always sure who's actually done them. If someone's rostered off that day, they miss it. And there's no

Why Paper Logbooks Are Your Biggest Maritime Compliance Risk And What to Do About It
A paper logbook may look simple — but it carries legal risk. The Question We Hear on Almost Every Call "We're using paper — scanning it in, emailing it back to the office. It's getting cumbersome. We just want to simplify it." We hear some version of that sentence on nearly every discovery call we take. It comes from operations managers in Alaska, Queensland, the Maldives, British Columbia. The boats are different. The flags are different. The regulators are different. But th

Our Engineer Retired and Took 20 Years of Maintenance History With Him — The Hidden Risk of Tribal Knowledge
Twenty years of maintenance history shouldn't disappear with a retirement. The Conversation That Stops You in Your Tracks We were running a demo recently, walking through the maintenance module, when the operations manager on the call said something that's stuck with us ever since: "We used to have a fleet engineer. He's retired now. Nothing was ever on paper — nothing was recorded at all. All the maintenance was just done by him. Now that he's gone, we have no information ab

We're Already Paying $300 a Month for Software Nobody Uses — Why the Real Cost Isn't the Subscription
The true cost of software isn't the subscription; it's low adoption. The Sentence That Comes Up More Often Than You'd Think We were talking with an operations manager recently about her company's current system. She paused and said: "To be honest, when I heard the price, I was like — oh my god, we're not even using this system. When you add it up over the year, it's actually quite a bit. The last login was over two months ago." Her company was paying roughly $300 a month, acr

A Flight Changed Aviation Safety Forever — What About Maritime?
A passenger administering an EpiPen to herself after having an allergic reaction on board. A Mid‑Air Scare That Altered Airline Law In 2019, mid‑Atlantic at 35,000 feet, a man went into full anaphylactic shock — his throat swelling, his airway closing. On that flight, there was no auto‑injector. Just a vial of epinephrine meant for cardiac use, and a lucky doctor passenger with a syringe. That doctor saved a life — but only because he happened to have the skills and presence
