Why fleets still struggle

The cost of how it’s done today

Cargo compliance validated by hand carries a high risk of stowage and documentation errors that surface too late.

The traditional approach

Spreadsheets and standalone cargo tools disconnected from voyage planning and the vessel's own schedule.

Cargo Operations: fleet dashboard view

Monday with WaterTight

What changes when this is under control

Cargo voyages and port calls reusing the vessel calendar, cargo records, a compliance engine for IMSBC/IMDG/ISGOTT, a documents hub, NOR and letters of protest, and a visual stowage builder.

Time back

Voyages come from the shared vessel calendar, so cargo teams focus on SOF, NOR, and laytime rather than re-entering schedules.

Less waste

Accurate laytime and documentation reduce demurrage disputes and rework.

Lower risk

The compliance engine validates stowage and cargo against IMSBC, IMDG, and ISGOTT rules before problems arise.

Regulatory alignment

✓ IMSBC✓ IMDG✓ ISGOTT

Customers remain responsible for regulatory compliance. WaterTight is the operational system of record.

Questions before you commit

Does cargo work offline?
Yes. Cargo events can be queued offline on the crew app and sync later.
Where are voyages created?
Voyages are configured on the vessel calendar and reused by cargo for SOF, NOR, and laytime—not created separately in cargo.
What compliance standards are checked?
The compliance engine validates against IMSBC, IMDG, and ISGOTT rules to help identify stowage and cargo issues.
Does WaterTight guarantee cargo compliance?
No. The engine supports validation and documentation; final responsibility for safe, compliant cargo operations remains with the Master and operator.

Bring this pain to a demo

We’ll walk cargo operations for Cargo Officer and Master on a sample vessel — so you can judge the fit, not sit through a feature tour.
