The Problem No One Wants to Talk About…

In yachting, safety, performance, and luxury all come down to one thing: your crew.

And yet, many vessels are still managing Hours of Work and Rest using error-prone spreadsheets, hand-filled logs, or worse — not tracking them at all.

 

This isn’t just a bad habit. It’s a compliance risk, a safety hazard, and a legal liability.

 

That’s why we built the Aquator Marine Hours of Work & Rest module — fully Lloyd’s Approved, MLC compliant, and designed to make compliance effortless.

 

Key Capabilities That Make the Difference

1. Real-Time Digital Logging

Crew can log hours through their own secure portal — web or mobile — with built-in autofill, offline mode, and timestamped accuracy.

 

2. Live Compliance Monitoring

The system runs real-time MLC logic to flag any violations, helping captains and managers act before a non-conformity occurs.

 

3. Audit-Ready Reports in Seconds

Generate Class-compliant reports instantly for Flag State, Port Authority, or Lloyd’s inspections. One click, no drama.

 

4. Department-Level Oversight

Custom dashboards show daily/weekly summaries by role or team, giving leadership the clarity they need to schedule proactively.

 

5. Offline Sync Functionality

Even when you're off the grid, the module keeps collecting — syncing once you’re back online.

 

Why This Matters

Too many yachts are caught off guard by simple non-conformities: crew missing rest hours, missed entries, or manual edits that raise flags.

 

The Aquator system ensures:

 

✅ Fewer inspection failures

✅ Improved crew morale

✅ Stronger operational safety

✅ Total transparency

 

Whether you're managing a 40m charter yacht or a 100m private vessel, staying compliant is no longer optional — it’s operational insurance.

 

Real Benefits, Real Fast

  • Crew peace of mind
  • Captain-level visibility
  • Zero audit-day stress
  • Class-approval confidence

 

Take Compliance Off Your Worry List

You don’t need more paperwork. You need a smarter system.

 

Aquator Marine's Hours of Work & Rest module keeps your yacht compliant — and your crew protected — without the chaos.
