Work & Rest Gap Assessment

Your work/rest system may work.
What can it still not help you see, prove, act on or improve?

A 5–7 minute management diagnostic for ship managers and HSEQ teams to identify where work/rest management still depends on manual analysis, fragmented evidence, email acknowledgement or difficult audit preparation.

After the Data is Captured

Most mature ship managers already have work/rest software. The harder question is what happens next.

A work/rest record is not the end of the management process. Depending on the organisation, the office may still need to export data for extended analytics, identify trends and recurrence, investigate root cause, find the action taken, chase acknowledgement by email, see which superintendent actions remain pending, assemble evidence for a management review or inspection, or produce company-specific reporting.

This assessment is built to test whether those gaps exist in your current workflow — not to assume they do.

The questions this assessment is built to answer

  • 01Can the office see what is changing?
  • 02Can it distinguish recurring deviations from isolated ones?
  • 03Can it connect a deviation to root-cause context and the action taken?
  • 04Can shore acknowledge the same issue in one controlled trail?
  • 05Can management see which pending action remains outstanding?
  • 06Can the organisation retrieve the relevant evidence quickly when an audit or inspection asks for it?
Five Domains

What you will assess

Each domain is scored independently — giving you a precise picture of where evidence is strong and where the workflow becomes manual or fragmented.

Data Integrity & Evidence TrailRetrieve the right records and show what happened next.
Advanced Analysis & Trend VisibilitySee signals, trends, recurrence and root-cause without separate exports.
Vessel-to-Shore Control LoopMove issues from vessel to shore with pending actions and acknowledgement.
Audit / Inspection Evidence ReadinessProduce relevant management evidence quickly for applicable reviews.
Company-Specific Rules & Practical AdoptionFit company rules, reports and onboard operating reality.
Compliance & Inspection Context

The assessment looks beyond the work/rest record.

The assessment uses relevant requirements and industry frameworks as evidence and management lenses. Depending on vessel, flag, trade and company context, these may include MLC 2006, STCW, OPA-90, SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.2, TMSA3, PSC and Flag State requirements.

These are assessment lenses only — not certifications or endorsements of any kind.

A Different Question

Why it matters

The question you ask decides the evidence you get.

What most workflows still require manually

01Export data out of the system
02Analyse trends separately
03Search email for acknowledgement
04Assemble evidence manually
05Track pending action by hand
06Reformat reports for company use

The management-grade question

Can the organisation move from a single deviation to trend recognition, to root cause, to a documented action, to a preserved acknowledgement, to retrievable evidence — without leaving the system?

Your Result

Know where the workflow breaks — before you change the system.

You will not receive a generic compliance grade. You will see where management evidence is strong, where the process becomes manual or fragmented, and which gaps deserve attention first.

Questions ship managers ask

Is this a compliance test?
No. It is a management and evidence diagnostic. It uses relevant regulatory and industry frameworks as assessment lenses; exact applicability must be checked for the vessel, flag, trade and company context.
Do I need to replace my current work/rest system?
No. The first objective is to understand the current workflow and identify where it becomes manual, fragmented or difficult to demonstrate.
What does the assessment cover?
Five areas: data/evidence, advanced analytics, vessel-to-shore control, audit/inspection evidence, and company-specific rules/adoption.
How long does it take?
About 5–7 minutes.
What happens after I finish?
You receive your Evidence & Management Maturity Profile and can request a 20-minute current-state review.
Is Work-Ship claiming certification or endorsement?
No. Framework references are used as assessment lenses, not as claims that software itself makes a vessel compliant.
Work-Ship

Find the gap before you change the system.

See where your current work/rest workflow is already strong — and where analysis, evidence, acknowledgement or management review still depends on manual work.

5–7 minutes. Management diagnostic. Not a regulatory pass/fail assessment.
