AMSA on Digitalisation

• Maritime Single Window – a program to simplify information exchange for regulatory requirements.   

Shorlink on Digitalisation

Shorlink has long recognised that the era of digitalisation is and should be embraced by the marine industry.  For several years, we have always included an electronic copy of our developed SMS’s to our clients for them to be saved within their business for online access.

But our clients need more!

Shorlink also recognised that the digital era includes an App platform that can be accessed both online and offline that not only accurately reflects the SMS (to ensure compliancy and protection for you, crew and business) but also provides the extra’s…. what are these?

We have partnered with Seaflux platform as we believe they provide the best software that’s both affordable and delivers everything commercial and recreational vessel owners and operators need in one package.

Sea Flux provides a comprehensive maintenance section that allows you to track all your maintenance, spare parts and much more. The Job List allows easy tracking to ensure everything is completed and recorded.

From the Safety Management System side, it’s the only platform that allows the uploading of our Safety Management Systems exactly as we write them. This is critical for us to be able to support and defend them in the event of an incident. That in itself is a major part of why we have partnered with Sea Flux.

Here’s just a few of the benefits we see with Sea Flux:

• Manage any vessel or fleet effortlessly by digitalising your SMS; and
