The vessel record, connected

A maintenance plan that knows the boat behind it.

WatchDeck connects each task to the machinery, current meter reading, required parts, instructions, and service history. The result is a useful operating record instead of another checklist.

Operational scenarios

See the moments a maintenance record has to survive.

Explore how maintenance records support clear decisions, handovers, recurring service, and day-to-day vessel readiness.

WORK BOAT · MISSED INTERVAL A 500-hour impeller task became an underway shutdown.

See how an overdue service hid between meter readings, what failed, and how the schedule should have surfaced the risk earlier.

Follow manuals, open work, service history, and spare parts into a usable handover record.

Know what happens next

Start with the part of the vessel you cannot afford to forget.

You do not need a perfect equipment catalog before WatchDeck becomes useful. Begin with one vessel, its critical machinery, and the next known service.

  1. 01
    Create the vessel workspace

    Name the boat and add the people who need the same operating picture.

  2. 02
    Add critical equipment first

    Start with engines, generators, steering, pumps, or the system that stops the operation when it fails.

  3. 03
    Enter the next known service

    Use the current meter reading or calendar date. Expand the record as work happens.

Common questions

What vessel operators ask first.

What does WatchDeck replace?

WatchDeck brings maintenance lists, machinery readings, equipment files, spare-parts records, trip logs, fuel entries, and safety records into one vessel workspace. You can move away from scattered notebooks and spreadsheets without losing the context around each job.

Can maintenance follow engine or generator hours?

Yes. A recurring task can use a machinery-hour interval or a calendar interval. When work is completed, WatchDeck records the completion reading and calculates what comes next.

Does it work for owner-operated boats?

Yes. A single owner can use WatchDeck as the vessel’s memory, while larger crews can share the same operating picture and assign responsibility.

What stays with an equipment record?

Equipment records can keep meter readings, maintenance history, manuals, notes, photos, invoices, and related tasks together for future troubleshooting and handoffs.

Do I have to book a sales call?

No. You can create your vessel workspace directly. If you want help deciding how to structure the vessel first, email us and talk through your current maintenance process.

Are the case studies customer testimonials?

The current case studies are clearly labeled illustrative operating scenarios. They demonstrate actual WatchDeck workflows without inventing customer identities, quotes, or measured savings.
