Work & Rest Hours
Work & Rest Hours keeps the rest-hour record the MLC 2006 (Regulation 2.3) and STCW 2010 (Chapter VIII) require: at least 10 hours of rest in any 24, in no more than two periods with one of at least 6 hours, and at least 77 hours in any 7 days. The ship keeps the record; the office reviews it.
Three faces
- Records — the day-by-day record per seafarer.
- Fleet Compliance — the office desk.
- Fatigue Risk — the SMS fatigue-risk register, which reads the same records.
Records
Pick a vessel. Four cards summarise the crew: Crew Tracked, No Breach Found, Near Limit, In Breach. Each seafarer's card shows their minimum 24-hour rest against 10 hours, 7-day rest against 77, the longest work stretch against 14, an 8-day strip and a list of any breaches.
Log Today (or click any day) opens the day's grid: 48 half-hour slots split morning and afternoon. Quick patterns fill a Night Watch (20-00, 04-08), a Day Watch (08-20) or All Rest; the readouts update live — total rest, rest periods, longest block, maximum work. Add remarks and Save Entry.
Signing
The record is signed twice: Sign as Seafarer, then Counter-sign as Master. Counter-signing is for managers and above.
Signing locks the day. The page says so before you do it: the hours and remarks become immutable and the signature is recorded permanently. After the seafarer signs, the grid greys out; between the two signatures the record is locked and only the master's signature can be added. A fully signed day reads "Fully signed — record locked".
Exporting
Export PDF produces one A4 page per seafarer for a chosen month, in the MLC / MSC.Circ.1014 layout. Pick the month and tick the seafarers. The button is off until a vessel and crew are selected.
The office desk
The Fleet Compliance desk annotates and queries; it never edits the ship's record. Its Honesty bar sets breaches found against how plausible the records look, because clean paperwork can hide fatigue. Vessels are deliberately never ranked by a "% compliant" figure. New vessel review starts a written review with the ship.
The fatigue-risk register
Australia's Marine Order 504 asks a domestic commercial vessel's safety management system to identify fatigue hazards, rate the risk and record the controls. This face is that register.
New assessment opens the form for one vessel: who is assessing, the voyage or roster it covers, and the nine recognised fatigue factors (crew, management, ship, environment) rated None / Low / Moderate / High. Beside them sits what the rest-hour records say for that vessel over the last 30 days — breach-days and how many on board have no entries. It is a reading to rate against, not a rating; it is kept with the assessment. The verdict updates as you rate: a residual index, a band (Low / Medium / High), the review date the band sets — 365, 90 or 30 days — and a recommended control for every factor rated Moderate or High. Tick the controls you are taking on, name an owner and a date, and Record.
Recording is final. The register is re-assessed when the operation changes, never edited; a manager can remove a row entered in error.
The fleet register instrument lists every vessel worst first — review overdue, never assessed, then current by soonest review — with its latest band and the controls still open. Click a card to filter; counts stay put. Sheet opens any assessment as the page a surveyor reads: ratings, index, controls and owners, the records reading, the review date. Print gives the sheet alone.
A word on the wording
A clean window is not called "compliant". It reads "No rule breach found in the window — records look clean; the office desk verifies plausibility." That is on purpose.
