Technical superintendents
Own report quality for a team of ships; query masters and accept amendments
- Breaks shown as sums the day a report lands
- Masters answering in fields with evidence attached
- Claim-file holds placed in one sentence
Features
Noon report validation features, from the noon tick to the second signature
Technical superintendents, emissions managers and owners' claims managers use them to test each report the day it arrives, even one a claim file or the ledger already holds. The screens follow one laden passage.
demoShips, charter, people and figures shown here are sample data.
- 01Route strip
Noon and event reports on one passage line, each marked unread until checked
- Passage drawn as one line of reports. Departure, each noon and the ETA sit in order on one line, so the whole voyage reads at a glance.
- New report marked arrived, not read yet. Nothing is flagged or passed on a glance; a figure is judged only after the stitches have run.
- Fleet arrival stream on the UTC clock. Reports from all ships land in one stream, so the team sees who reported and whose stitches hold.
- 02Stitches
Distance, speed, fuel continuity and slip summed against yesterday's report
- Distance position to position against distance reported. A log distance presented as ground distance shows as a break in miles and percent before a charterer's analyst finds it.
- Fuel continuity shown as a sum. Yesterday's fuel remaining minus today's consumption, set against today's figure, puts the missing tons on screen with the tolerance beside them.
- Slip read on both distances. Slip inside the ship's own band on the reported distance and outside it on positions tells the superintendent which question to ask.
- 03Where used
Claim file, emissions ledger and laytime sheet shown on every noon report
- Use chips on each report. The superintendent sees which claim file, ledger line or laytime sheet a correction would touch before it is made.
- Steer the agents in plain words mid-run. An instruction such as keeping a ship's reports out of a claim file adds a step to the plan and goes into the trail under the superintendent's name.
- Holds that take effect at once. A report stops feeding the claim file immediately, while lifting the hold waits for a second signature.
- 04Challenger
Each break read the way the other side of a performance claim would read it
- Points written as the charterer's analyst would argue. The owner learns how a break would be used against the ship while the report can still be corrected by the master.
- Agent-written drafts read the same way. A leading question to the master or a weather comparison hours apart is caught and rewritten before anything goes out.
- Claim positions left to a named person. What the figures cannot settle goes to the owner's claims manager; the agents never argue the claim.
- 05Query to the ship
Questions to the master in fixed fields that suggest no figure
- Fixed fields for distance, fuel and sounding. Distances by log and over ground, consumption by main engine and generators, and a timed sounding come back as values.
- Neutral wording, checked by the challenger. The query names no figure to agree with, so the master reports what was measured rather than signing off a speed someone ashore suggested.
- A due time on every query. The fleet queue shows the query waiting on the ship until the amendment lands, so overdue answers surface by clock.
- 06Master's page
Signed amendment from the ship, filled in on board in the same fields
- The master's own page for the open query. On board the master sees what is asked about which report, answers each field and signs as master.
- Noon fuel from a later sounding plus burn. A sounding taken hours after noon is brought back to noon with the flow-meter burn, so tank figures and the report agree.
- Sounding sheet attached to the answer. The evidence travels with the correction, and the office opens the sheet without asking for it again.
- 07Amendment
Corrections arrive as a new report version beside the original kept on record
- Amendment shown as the ship sent it. Each field the master entered appears with what the agents read highlighted, so a stitch can be checked against its source.
- Original marked superseded, never edited. Claim files and the ledger keep pointing at signed statements from the vessel, so nothing ashore contradicts its record.
- Free-text remark held apart. The master's remark changes no figure and blocks acceptance until a named person has read it.
- 08Co-sign
Emissions manager co-signs any correction to a report a claim or ledger uses
- Maker and checker on used reports. The superintendent accepts and the emissions manager signs second, so a booked ledger line never moves on one person's word.
- The checker opens what they check. Co-sign stays disabled until the amendment and sounding sheet are opened, and each signature states what it means.
- What changes on signing. Claim-file speed, the hold, the ledger line and fuel continuity are listed before signing, with the monitoring plan one click away.
- 09Rules learned
A master's reporting habit becomes a per-ship rule once it is approved
- Rule proposed from accepted amendments. Repeated rulings that a ship's distance came by log become a check on the next report from that ship.
- Source rulings listed under the rule. Each amendment the rule was learned from opens from the rule, so the approver sees exactly what the agents learned.
- Nothing applies before approval. Rules carry their own reasons to agree or send back, and the agents apply one only after the superintendent approves it.
