Marine & Vessels

Maintenance and survey, held against the vessel

Vessels, engines and deck equipment run on hours and carry survey and certification obligations. Gearbox schedules service on running hours and holds the certificates, with their expiry dates, against the asset itself.

A vessel's paperwork is scattered across a marina

Engine hours in a logbook, survey certificates in a folder ashore, and the tender's outboard serviced whenever someone remembers. When the surveyor asks for evidence, the scramble starts. Gearbox keeps it on the vessel's own record, dated and attached.

Everything that floats, and everything bolted to it

The vessel, its engines, the tender, the crane on deck and the fire equipment in the locker can each be tracked as assets with their own schedules and histories, linked so the whole picture sits together. Service on running hours for the mains, dates for the survey items.

Surveys and certificates with expiry dates that alert

Certificates are attached to the asset with their expiry dates, inspections run on their own schedules with reminders, and the compliance dashboard shows what falls due in 7, 14 and 30 days. The surveyor's question becomes a search, not an excavation.

Checks from the wheelhouse, offline at sea

Pre-departure checks run in the Prestart app, one question at a time, and keep working with no signal. A failed critical item stands the vessel down, and the fault report with photos uploads when the boat is back in range.

What marine operators run on Gearbox

Service by running hours

Mains, gensets and hydraulics serviced on the hours they actually ran, with readings entered or fed from monitoring.

Certificates on the record

Survey, safety equipment and radio certificates attached with expiry dates and reminders.

Crew currency

Tickets, medicals and training per crew member, with one status showing who needs attention.

Pre-departure checks

Checklists per vessel in the app, offline at sea, synced back at the dock.

Parts aboard and ashore

Stock per location, filters and spares received by purchase order and counted at stocktake.

Defects to work orders

A fault logged aboard becomes a prioritised work order ashore, with photos attached.

A closer look for vessel operators

Every answer below is drawn from the knowledge base our customers use, with a link to the full guide.

Inspections on their own schedules

Time based inspections run separately from engine hour services. A vessel can carry several inspection types at once, each with its own due dates, all feeding its status light.

Checks that survive a day with no signal

The app works offline, flags unsynced records, reminds the crew, and uploads automatically when it next opens. Nothing done at sea is lost to the dead zone.

Hour readings checked against each other

Latest and highest readings sit side by side, with their sources, so a mis-keyed hour meter or a genset that stopped reporting is visible before it distorts the schedule.

Crew tickets in one matrix

Training and medicals for the whole crew in one grid, colour coded, with the columns you choose. Who is current is a glance, not an audit.

Equipment issued to people and vessels

PPE and tools logged against the crew member holding them, extinguishers and first aid kits against the vessel carrying them.
