The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and IT Energy have announced the launch of the latest release of their acclaimed ISF Watchkeeper software, ISF Watchkeeper 3.5, which is developed for maintaining records of individual seafarers’ work hour records, as required by IMO and ILO regulations, and to help prevent crew fatigue and to avoid issues with Port State Control.
Specifically, as it is explained, ISF Watchkeeper 3.5 consists a working schedule planning tool: it is a means of taking account of international dateline crossings; non-conformance activity capture; multi-language key reports and STCW 2010 ‘Manila Exceptions’ calculation improvements.
”ISF Watchkeeper 3.5 has been designed to create an enhanced user experience“, says Michael Papageorge, Managing Director, at IT Energy. “It is now more effective than ever at taking care of the full range of on board requirements for demonstrating compliance with crew work and rest hour regulations.”
As part of the update, substantial improvements have also been made to Watchkeeper Online, the sister product designed to support shore based personnel, so reports now run many times faster.
