Certificates

No certificate expires quietly.

Statutory, class and insurance certificates in one register, with expiry dates, survey windows and scanned copies attached. Each one is marked valid, attention, due or overdue, so renewals get planned instead of rushed.

Why a register

Certificates and survey dates should not live in someone's inbox.

In many fleets the certificate list is a spreadsheet, and the scans are in email threads. It works until a survey window passes without anyone noticing, and the first warning is a finding from class or Port State Control.

Most statutory certificates are valid for five years, with annual or intermediate surveys inside a window around each anniversary date. A missed window can be as serious as an expired certificate.

A certificate register keeps every certificate, its dates and its scanned copy in one place, and shows what needs attention before it becomes urgent.

Port State Control

The first thing the inspector checks.

A PSC inspection usually starts with the ship's certificates and documents. When the inspector asks, the answer is already on screen.

  • Are all statutory certificates valid, with surveys inside their windows? The certificate register shows expiry, survey window and the scanned copy.
  • When is the next annual survey due? Class certificates and survey dates sit in the same register as statutory ones.
  • Can I see the original? The scanned copy is attached to each certificate.
