NAVTOR sets new standards with Digital Logbook ‘industry firsts’
(Posted on 29/06/26)
NAVTOR has unveiled the latest iteration of its Digital Logbooks offering, featuring the industry’s first integrated Visitors log onboard, in addition to a unique Remaining on Board (ROB) report function to ease compliance and reduce crew workloads. Other improvements featured in version 2.6.23, include simplified logbooks for the Ferry and Small Boat segment, enabling ‘on the go’ log management for busy crew members.
Digital Logbooks are now an established pillar of NAVTOR’s integrated digital ecosystem. Adopted by over 1500 vessels within the world fleet, the solutions provide reliable, real-time, highly automated and AI empowered log-keeping, capturing and sharing critical data (across fleets and entire organisations), simplifying compliance, cutting administration and empowering more informed decision making.
Version 2.6.23 marks “a further leap forward in functionality and efficiency”, according to Amitabh Sankranti, Shipping Analytics Director, NAVTOR.
Sankranti comments: “Digital Logbooks represent smart shipping in action. They provide clarity and consistency, seamless information sharing – for faster, more informed decisions, and a unique platform for continual improvement across both single vessels and entire fleets.
“In addition, the benefits for crews are enormous. Data entry into digital devices can be completed on the go, while automated processes slash workloads and greatly reduce duplication of tasks. When you add in the smart productivity gains you have a powerful source of business efficiency and development. If you haven’t yet embraced Digital Logbooks, now is the time to do so. This latest version from our expert team is the perfect place to start.”
Sankranti notes that the integrated visitor management onboard function enables easy and consistent compliance with the International Ships and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, while the ROB report simplifies the tracking of fuel, oily water and sludge waste collections, in addition to ballast water and fresh water onboard.?This greatly reduces the duplication of entries across logs and environmental reports, ensuring daily operational reports synchronise with other reports required by charterers, compliance departments, technical teams, and MARPOL logs.
The tailormade logbooks for ferries and small boats are designed to be “intuitive and user friendly” to simplify tasks and help accelerate adoption of digital technology in this key market segment.
Continual development
“Everything we do is about making life simpler, safer and more efficient for both crews and the organisations they serve,” Sankranti concludes. “Version 2.6.23 shows our commitment to that mission. We will continue pushing the boundaries of logbook development, helping our customers unlock the maximum benefits of switching from paper to pixels.”
NAVTOR is the global leader in smart shipping technology, with e-Navigation, performance and fleet management products and services onboard over 18,000 vessels in the world fleet.
