Crew Profiles, Assignments, And Safe Manning In One Place
Safe-manning positions surface unfilled billets and expiring qualifications before a vessel sails short.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Crew data spread across agencies, spreadsheets, and email makes manning decisions slow and risky, with no live view of who is qualified for which billet.
The traditional approach
Separate systems for roster, certificates, and contracts that never agree, and no single safe-manning picture per vessel.
Monday with WaterTight
What changes when this is under control
Unified crew records with assignments, rank-based permissions, teams and trips, self-service invites, and certificate visibility tied to safe-manning positions.
Time back
Invites and join codes let seafarers build their own profile, so crewing stops re-keying documents from email.
Less waste
One crew system replaces overlapping roster, certificate, and contract tools and their licence costs.
Lower risk
Safe-manning positions surface unfilled billets and expiring qualifications before a vessel sails short.

Questions before you commit
Can crew use their own app?
Yes. Seafarers use the WaterTight crew app for certificates, assignments, hours of rest, and vessel tasks.
How do new crew join?
Crewing sends an invite or shares a join code; the seafarer creates a profile linked to your company and uploads their documents.
Does this show unfilled positions?
Yes. Safe-manning positions highlight billets with no current assignment so gaps are visible before departure.
Does WaterTight decide safe manning for us?
No. WaterTight surfaces positions, assignments, and certificate status. Safe-manning compliance and crewing decisions remain the operator's responsibility.
