Digital Report Builder
Write your report on the vessel.
Deliver it before you leave the dock.

correct
Structured templates for every survey type — pre-purchase, insurance, condition, damage, class

Findings logged as Critical, Advisory, or Passed — with severity and photo evidence
correct

Deficiency Tracking
Your findings don't end at
the report. They end at sign-off.

The most frustrating part of surveying isn't finding deficiencies — it's not knowing whether they were ever fixed. Aquator keeps every finding live in the vessel's record, tracks the resolution, and gives you the ability to review and sign off repairs before they're marked closed. Your survey is the beginning of an ongoing record, not a one-time document.

correct
Every finding tracked from identification to repair completion
correct
Captain or shipyard uploads evidence — you review and confirm sign-off
correct
Critical findings escalated immediately to owner and manager
correct
Full resolution history retained — available to future surveyors and class societies

Linked as preferred surveyor in the vessel's record

I used to submit a survey report and never find out whether a single item was ever fixed. Now every critical finding stays live in the vessel record until the captain uploads evidence and I sign it off. My reports actually mean something beyond the day I deliver them.
