This customised software caters to the
excruciatingly complex regulations under ILO,
STCW,
MLC 2006,
33CFR,
OPA90.
46USC
Etc.
With so many regulations in force
(either running concurrently or partially excluded, dependent on the trading
region), it is virtually impossible to manually calculate or even anticipate the
violations that may ensue from a given pattern of work or rest over any given
period.
New ..
AA. Though Flag States under whose domain,
interpretation is supreme, advisory / consultative bodies such as O.C.I.M.F. can,
and do, differ in their interpretation of the international regulations.
After communication with the O.C.I.M.F. and express
permission from Lloyd's Register, London, we have provided the user with
the option to select from
Convention Requirements Method
O.C.I.M.F. Guidelines Method
In this way, shipowners and Masters may choose from either according to their circumstances.
BB. Moreover,
we have segregated the USA regulations into a drop-down combo box and
the user can select the clauses to be applied,
as required.
DOCUMENTATION FOR AA. & BB. HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO LLOYD'S REGISTER,
LONDON & PERMISSION TO INCORPORATE THESE FEATURES IN RELEASE 6.01.1
IS AWAITED. IN THE MEANTIME, DOWNLOAD AND GET A SNEAK PREVIEW (OF
VERSION BUILD 6.01.1) FROM HERE.
It is therefore, imperative that the
users and evaluators have a friendly tool to enter the data and instantly see
the warnings or violations. The tool should as far as possible indicate
the hour at which the violation occurs and the clauses affected.
Our software provides a comprehensive display of
hours worked, rested with tabulated violations under various governing
regulations - Confirmed violations are shown in red font. Potential
violations (clauses that are violated but whose riders are also not violated),
are shown in pink. Proportional violating results at the top and bottom
where enough hours are not available are shown in violet.
Weekends are picked up from the PC calendar.
Holidays are picked up from table setup by user as per the CBA, in the yellow
tabbed sheet.
We have provided an 'Hours Effected' sheet which
shows the user at which hour+time the violation is caused and in which direction.
The user may select from 'Rest' regime or 'Work' regime. Also, the user can
suspend MLC 2006 computations, thus allowing the STCW waiver rules to be
considered. In other words, with MLC check marked, STCW waivers are not
considered and violation count is potentially increased.
The STCW 2010 rule of minimum 1 hour or rest is
incorporated into the coding.
Monthly data is saved to tiny compressed & encrypted files and can
be retrieved at any time or sent by e-mail to the head office for their
reference / records thus saving paper.
Data entered in 'Hours' page is exported to
reports patterned on the 'MODEL
FORMAT FOR RECORD OF HOURS OF REST OF SEAFARERS'.
With version 2.01
and onwards we have provided the facility for the user to specify an
international date line crossing in either direction. A day is repeated if
the vessel goes from East to West and a day is skipped if the vessel crosses the
date line from West to East.
With version 3.01
and onwards we have provided multi-language support for the reports pages.
In the Excel project, you can hover the mouse
over the red corners to read some help by way of pop up 'tool tips'
We will be improving
upon the existing translations and adding new languages from time to time (as
and when reports from third party translations services come in) or sooner, if requested
to do so by any shipping company.
The product has been awarded
the Software Conformity Certificate by Lloyd's Register, London as compliant
with all current regulations under ILO 180 / MLC 2006 / STCW 2010 / OPA 90 /
33 CFR & 46 USC. (Final Certificate SWC 1200001 Received
. The new
version has been uploaded.
The
Shipowner / Master may select from 'Convention Requirements Method' or
the 'O.C.I.M.F. Method' for setting the computing periods.
Non-OCIMF members can select the more realistic 'Convention
Requirements Method'.
On-the-fly, computed results show
the user and superintendent, in an instant, the status for
compliance/non-compliance of the working hours v/s the regulations. The
hour at which the violation occurs and the relevant clause is displayed.
If data for working hours is
entered after more than one day (date + 2), a comment is generated showing the
date and time the data is entered. This is of importance to inspectors.
If data is saved to the
database greater than 35 days after the start of the computing period, this
saved date and time is shown in red font in the GET records dialog box.
This is of importance to inspectors.
The results are exported to
reports designed as per the model format. The header sections of these
reports will be customised according to the purchaser's SMS documentation.
(Logo and reference numbers, etc.)
Password access with different
rights for different users (Master, Crew, Office users).
Multi-language support.
Provision for entering a date line
crossing in either direction.
Records are stored in a database
allowing for intelligent filtering.
Sensitive data is encrypted.
Records to be sent to the head
office are encrypted and compressed. These small size encrypted text
files are e-mailed to the head office and imported there by a simple button
click.
Superintendents perusing these
imported records can do a comparative analysis on a chart.
This tool is used not just for
reporting but for planning the working hours of individual crew.
