Marine Inspection App runs structured marine inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each asset, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see marine compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Marine Inspection App runs a structured marine inspection covering life-saving appliances, lifeboats, and liferafts, firefighting equipment and fixed systems, mooring lines, winches, and gangway safety, bilge, ballast, and watertight integrity, and cargo securing, lashing, and dangerous goods, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, marine findings live on paper and in chat. A marine fault such as expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances slips through. An audit then means rebuilding marine evidence from folders.
Marine Inspection App keeps one record per marine and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each marine finding is tracked to verified closure. Masters, chief officers, and port safety teams see marine completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every marine record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Marine Inspection App?
A comprehensive marine inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect marine assets and vessels with structural, safety, and equipment checks plus defect logging. Your inspection should include sections for life-saving appliances, lifeboats, and liferafts; firefighting equipment and fixed systems; and mooring lines, winches, and gangway safety, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Marine Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps marine inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned marine template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, asset, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the asset.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment out of test, worn mooring lines and unsafe gangways, bilge or ballast faults affecting stability.
For every failed marine item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the asset form. The asset report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Marine Inspection Cover?
A marine inspection covers life-saving appliances, lifeboats, and liferafts, firefighting equipment and fixed systems, mooring lines, winches, and gangway safety, bilge, ballast, and watertight integrity, cargo securing, lashing, and dangerous goods, and navigation lights, deck lighting, and safe access. Masters, chief officers, and port safety teams capture photo evidence on each marine point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the marine round off. So every marine record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

How Marine Inspection App Runs a Marine Inspection
Step 1
Define and Deploy
Build the marine template with objective pass-fail criteria and schedule it to mobile teams.
Step 2
Capture and Verify
Inspectors run the inspection with photo evidence on each finding, such as expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment out of test, worn mooring lines and unsafe gangways, bilge or ballast faults affecting stability, and failed items raise corrective actions.
Step 3
Report and Improve
Dashboards built on verified marine data reveal recurring patterns on the asset across every site.

What Marine Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Marine work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Marine Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the asset fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the asset is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the asset defect is marked closed. Whether the asset work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor asset fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which marine partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any marine action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened asset actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a marine problem from a complaint
There is no live view of marine status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the asset is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of marine status across sites
Marine problems surface as complaints, not as data
Marine risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of marine completion and open issues
Marine risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter marine results by site and date
Marine checks signed off on paper with no proof the asset was actually checked
A marine inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the asset was actually checked, and whether expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment out of test, worn mooring lines and unsafe gangways, bilge or ballast faults affecting stability were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the asset passed.
Problem
Marine checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment out of test, worn mooring lines and unsafe gangways, bilge or ballast faults affecting stability were actually inspected
Marine findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital marine form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every asset check
Marine findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Marine Inspection App check on a marine inspection?
Marine Inspection App runs a structured marine inspection covering life-saving appliances, lifeboats, and liferafts, firefighting equipment and fixed systems, mooring lines, winches, and gangway safety, bilge, ballast, and watertight integrity, and cargo securing, lashing, and dangerous goods. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so masters, chief officers, and port safety teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which marine defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the marine failures that matter most: expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment out of test, worn mooring lines and unsafe gangways, and bilge or ballast faults affecting stability. Left unchecked, a fault such as expired or unserviceable life-saving appliances can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so masters, chief officers, and port safety teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Marine Inspection App support for marine work?
Marine Inspection App keeps marine checks aligned to SOLAS and MARPOL and ISPS requirements. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, masters, chief officers, and port safety teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run marine checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Marine Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete marine checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So masters, chief officers, and port safety teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a marine inspection was completed?
Every completed marine inspection carries life-saving appliance and liferaft photo, mooring and gangway photo, and cargo lashing photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, masters, chief officers, and port safety teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
