Straight answers about the seafarer app, the HQ office system, your data, cost and security. If something isn't covered here, email [email protected].
The Mariner's Desk app on your phone.
Yes. The app is free for seafarers, and your company doesn't have to pay for you to use it.
No. You can use the app on your own. Linking to a company is optional, and you can do it later.
You do. Your certificates and sea service belong to your account. If you change companies, you link to the new one, and your record comes with you.
No. A company can propose a change, and you decide whether to accept it. Nothing changes on your record until you do.
Yes. You can add and check records offline. Changes are sent when you're back online.
With notifications turned on, you get a daily push alert for any certificate expiring within 90 days, even when the app is closed.
The STCW rules on a rolling basis: at least 10 hours of rest in any 24-hour period, at least 77 hours in any 7-day period, and the limits on how rest may be split. Section 7 of the User Manual sets them out in full. The check is a guide. Your company and your flag state decide what counts.
Type your email on the sign-in screen, then tap Forgot password. Enter the 8-digit code from the email with a new password. Codes expire after 24 hours, and only the newest one works.
Your records are removed from Mariner's Desk. Rest-hours records and sea-service sign-offs your company has countersigned stay with the company, under your name, marked as account deleted. Export a backup first if you want your own copy.

Mariner's Desk HQ, the office system.
The pilot is free. Pricing after the pilot hasn't been decided. We'll put a proposal in writing once it is.
To link their records to HQ, yes. Without the app, you can still keep crew records and enter sea-time records yourself, and those are held by the company.
No. It sees what the seafarer has linked to your company: certificates, sea service, rest hours, roster and leave. It can't see the emergency card or anything outside those areas.
Add the person under Crew, then choose Invite. They receive an email with your joining code, and they enter it in Mariner's Desk under Company link.
Yes. Lists export to CSV. The audit pack is available for inspections, and a full company backup is available in JSON to admins.
Masters and Chief Engineers see their own vessel. Other roles see the whole fleet, depending on the role they've been given. The roles table in the HQ User Manual lists exactly what each one can do.
Their crew record stays, and so does anything your company has countersigned or signed off. You can end their assignment on the roster.
What's true today, stated plainly.
Each person's data can only be read by them until they link to a company. HQ users see only the data their role allows. Nothing is changed on a seafarer's record without their acceptance. Before each pilot, both apps are reviewed in detail, and real flows are tested by hand.
No. The review is internal. It isn't a third-party penetration test, and we don't hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification.
In a managed cloud database, with encryption in transit. Admins can export a full copy of the company's data at any time, independent of anything we do on our side.
