SN's ILO / MLC 2006 / STCW 2010 / CFR / OPA 90 Work Rest Hours Control Software

This customised software caters to the excruciatingly complex regulations under ILO, STCW, MLC 2006, 33CFR, OPA90. 46CFR  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.

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 text 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 a nutshell:

1. Compliant with all current international regulations.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.)

6. Password access with different rights for different users (Master, Crew, Office users).

7. Multi-language support.

8. Provision for entering a date line crossing in either direction.

9. Records are stored in a database allowing for intelligent filtering.

10. Sensitive data is encrypted.

11. 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.

12. Superintendents perusing these imported records can do a comparative analysis on a chart.

13. This tool is used not just for reporting but for planning the working hours of individual crew.

14. The product has been submitted to a major classification society for certification. (Certificate Pending).
