Frequently asked questions

SOLAS II-1/3-13 deadline?

Enforced from 1 Jan 2026. PSC checks for current O&M manuals on cranes, winches, davits, derricks. Without them, risk of detention.

What's “class-ready”?

Drafted to meet DNV / BV / LR / ABS / ClassNK / CCS submission requirements. Surveyor authenticates.

How fast?

Quick-Audit: instant. Prep Pack / Full Reconstruction: under 10 min after intake.

Fleet Dashboard really free?

Free up to 3 vessels. Fleet Pro €300/mo or €3,000/yr for 10 vessels. Data never deleted on expiry.

Liability - legally valid?

Drafts under IMO §3.5.2.1, authenticated by Class Surveyor. Same workflow as naval architecture firms.

Manufacturer doesn't exist?

§3.5.2.1 specifically allows Competent Third Party reconstruction. SoC names original manufacturer + status.

How accurate is the AI?
