01What has changed

A lapsed certificate is now visible to everyone who inspects the ship

Statutory certificates, class surveys and crew documents have always been mandatory. What has changed is how closely they are checked, by how many parties, and how quickly a gap turns into a detention or an off-hire.

IMO, ISM & ISPS

Statutory certificates under SOLAS, MARPOL and Load Lines, the ISM Document of Compliance and Safety Management Certificate, and the ISPS International Ship Security Certificate all depend on surveys and audits being completed in their windows.

ILO MLC

The Maritime Labour Certificate and its declaration must be kept valid, and crew documents such as medical certificates are checked under the convention.

Crew certification

Seafarers' certificates of competency, endorsements and training certificates have to be valid for the rank and ship type, and inspectors check them on board.

PSC & Flag

An expired or missing certificate is one of the most straightforward findings for Port State Control, and it can lead to detention.

SIRE 2.0 & RISQ 3.2

Focused inspections confirm certificate validity and crew qualifications as part of the inspection, and gaps affect the vessel's vetting outcome.

TMSA 3 & DryBMS

Both expect the company to control certification and survey planning across the fleet, not leave it to individual vessels.

02The pain it causes

What manual certificate tracking is costing you

Certificates are simple until there are hundreds of them across a fleet, each with its own window, endorsement and renewal process.

Missed windows

Annual, intermediate and renewal survey windows are tracked in spreadsheets, and one missed date can stop the ship.

Entry errors

Dates, numbers and issuing authorities are typed by hand, so a wrong expiry date can sit unnoticed until an inspector finds it.

Crew documents in another system

Crew certificates and documents are tracked separately from vessel certificates, so the full picture for a ship is never in one place.

Alerts that reach no one

Reminders go to one person's inbox, and when that person is on leave the renewal slips.

No record of why a renewal was late

When renewals are delayed, the reasons and actions are not recorded, which is hard to explain at the next audit.

03How it is managed today, and how it should be

Spreadsheets, scanned copies and calendar reminders — or one intelligent register for ship, crew and survey records

Certificate management should be simple to record and impossible to forget.
