Does Inspectly360 work at sea without internet?
Yes. The Inspectly360 mobile app is fully functional offline, including AI-powered defect detection that runs on the device. Crew complete safety rounds, drill documentation, maintenance checks, and inspections at sea with no connectivity. Every record is stored locally, then syncs automatically when the vessel reaches port or connects through satellite. This is essential for vessels on long ocean passages where reliable internet is simply not available. Instead of a paper SMS binder that the shore office cannot see until the ship docks, inspections are captured digitally as they happen, with timestamps and attribution intact. When connectivity returns, the shore safety team sees exactly what the crew recorded, so vessel and shore work from the same data rather than waiting weeks for scanned forms.
Does it support ISM Code and SOLAS compliance?
Yes. Inspectly360 includes templates aligned with the ISM Code for safety management system documentation, SOLAS Chapter II-2 for fire safety, SOLAS Chapter III for life-saving appliances, MARPOL Annexes, and MLC 2006. Templates can be customised to your fleet's specific SMS procedures and flag state requirements. Every completed inspection forms part of a digital audit trail covering internal audits, external audits, and class society reviews. Because records are structured and centralised rather than scattered through paper binders on each vessel, an auditor's request is answered with a filter rather than a search. Corrective actions raised during a safety round are tracked to verified closure, so you can demonstrate not just that a deficiency was found but that it was resolved. That keeps the fleet's SMS evidence consistent and defensible across every vessel.
Can we use it for dry dock and class survey preparation?
Yes. Inspectly360 supports dry dock planning with pre-built hull, tank, and machinery inspection templates. AI photo analysis helps identify corrosion, coating breakdown, and structural issues from inspection images, and findings are organised by vessel system and compartment. That structure means a class survey report can be generated from completed inspections rather than assembled by hand from multiple ledgers. Because condition data is recorded consistently and stored over time, class society reviewers can compare one survey period to the next, instead of relying on narrative descriptions and rough sketches. Historical condition data also helps you plan the maintenance scope and budget for an upcoming dry dock period, so the yard work is scoped from evidence rather than from memory of the last inspection.
How does it integrate with our fleet management system?
Inspectly360 offers REST API integrations with fleet management and planned maintenance systems. Vessel data can sync into Inspectly360, and inspection results and deficiencies can be pushed back into your existing systems, with work orders created automatically from inspection findings. That keeps inspection data flowing into maintenance planning, operating cost tracking, and regulatory reporting without anyone re-keying it. A deficiency found on a safety round becomes an action in the system your technical team already uses. Removing manual transfer between systems keeps records consistent across vessel and shore, and it means the technical superintendent is working from current inspection data rather than from forms that arrive after the next port call.
Can different vessel types have different inspection templates?
Yes. Each vessel type, whether tanker, bulk carrier, container ship, or offshore unit, can carry its own inspection templates, schedules, and checklists reflecting its specific regulatory requirements and operational profile. The fleet safety team manages templates centrally and deploys them to vessels, so a change to a standard is rolled out once rather than updated ship by ship. Role-based access ensures masters, chief engineers, and safety officers each see the inspection workflows relevant to their responsibilities. This keeps the fleet consistent where consistency matters, for example a common SMS round, while still allowing the genuine differences between vessel types to be reflected in the checklists each crew actually uses.
How does Inspectly360 reduce port state control detention risk?
Inspectly360 helps crews close deficiencies before a port state control inspector boards, rather than discovering them during the inspection. Pre-arrival self-assessment checklists cover SOLAS, MARPOL, MLC, and ISPS requirements, so the crew works through the same areas an inspector will examine and resolves issues in advance. Historical port state control findings and their corrective actions are tracked, so recurring problem areas are visible and can be addressed before the next call. Each deficiency carries an owner, a deadline, and closure evidence, which lets the master demonstrate continuous improvement to an inspector. Because a detention causes expensive delays and reputational damage, shifting the work from reactive to pre-arrival makes a real difference. The vessel arrives in port with a documented, evidenced state of readiness instead of hoping the inspection goes well.
