Lifeboat Compliance App gives lifeboat compliance a defensible audit trail. Every check is timestamped, photo-backed, and aligned to SOLAS LSA code and class survey standards, so an auditor sees proof in seconds instead of days. Managers see live lifeboat compliance status and upcoming statutory due dates across every site.
Lifeboat Compliance App evidences lifeboat compliance check covering hull, buoyancy, and internal condition, davits, winch, and brake, falls, blocks, and release gear, on-load release and hydrostatic interlock, and engine start and drive, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, lifeboat findings live on paper and in chat. A lifeboat fault such as hull or buoyancy damage slips through. An audit then means rebuilding lifeboat evidence from folders.
Lifeboat Compliance App keeps one record per lifeboat and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each lifeboat finding is tracked to verified closure. Deck officers and safety teams see lifeboat completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every lifeboat record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Lifeboat Compliance App?
A comprehensive lifeboat inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Track lifeboat compliance with SOLAS Chapter III and statutory checks, evidence capture, and audit-ready records. Your inspection should include sections for hull, buoyancy, and internal condition; davits, winch, and brake; and falls, blocks, and release gear, 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 Lifeboat Compliance App
Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:
Open the lifeboat compliance template, mapped to SOLAS LSA code and class survey standards.
Check each requirement against the lifeboat and capture photo evidence as proof.
Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.
What Does a Lifeboat Compliance Check Cover?
Lifeboat compliance evidences the required checks on hull, buoyancy, and internal condition, davits, winch, and brake, falls, blocks, and release gear, on-load release and hydrostatic interlock, engine start and drive, and equipment inventory and provisions. The photos each lifeboat rule expects are mandatory fields. Lifeboat renewals are flagged before they lapse. So lifeboat compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Lifeboat Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place
Lifeboat work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Lifeboat Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
When an auditor asks for lifeboat records, the team scrambles
An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six lifeboat checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.
Problem
Lifeboat evidence scattered across phones and drives
No quick way to prove a lifeboat check was done
Lifeboat statutory due dates discovered after they pass
Solution
One structured record per check, mapped to SOLAS LSA code and class survey standards
Audit-ready lifeboat PDF export in seconds, not days
Lifeboat due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
Assigned contractor signs off the lifeboat fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the lifeboat is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the lifeboat defect is marked closed. Whether the lifeboat work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor lifeboat fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which lifeboat partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any lifeboat action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened lifeboat actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a lifeboat problem from a complaint
There is no live view of lifeboat status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the lifeboat is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of lifeboat status across sites
Lifeboat problems surface as complaints, not as data
Lifeboat risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of lifeboat completion and open issues
Lifeboat risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter lifeboat results by site and date
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lifeboat Compliance App cover in a lifeboat compliance check?
Lifeboat Compliance App keeps lifeboat compliance current by evidencing hull, buoyancy, and internal condition, davits, winch, and brake, falls, blocks, and release gear, on-load release and hydrostatic interlock, and engine start and drive. The photos each rule expects are mandatory fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. Renewals and statutory due dates are flagged before they lapse. If a check fails, the template opens its follow-up questions and requires photo evidence, so every gap is documented on the spot rather than reconstructed later from memory.
Which lifeboat defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The compliance check targets the lifeboat failures that matter most: hull or buoyancy damage, davit or brake faults, falls wear or release gear defects, and engine start failure. Left unchecked, a fault such as hull or buoyancy damage 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 deck officers and 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 Lifeboat Compliance App support for lifeboat work?
Lifeboat Compliance App keeps lifeboat checks aligned to SOLAS LSA code and class survey standards. 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, deck officers and 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 lifeboat checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Lifeboat Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete lifeboat 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 deck officers and 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 lifeboat compliance check was completed?
Every completed lifeboat compliance check carries release gear photo, falls condition photo, and engine test note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, deck officers and 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.
