In the fast-paced maritime industry, keeping track of exactly who is onboard at all times is challenging but essential. In the event of an emergency, having accurate information about crew and visitors is crucial. OneSea addresses this critical need with its pioneering app: Sentry – a tool designed to streamline the management of personnel embarking and disembarking ships.
Sentry is a state-of-the-art app that enables vessel operators to monitor and manage the statuses of crew, contractors, and visitors. With Sentry, you maintain a real-time passenger manifest, ensuring you always know who is onboard.
Sentry Mode Sentry Mode provides a live view of crew and visitor statuses. Installed on iPads located at access points around the vessel, it allows personnel to sign on and off as they come and go, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.
Real-Time Status Updates Sentry's primary function is to offer real-time updates on the status of crew members and visitors. With just a few taps, individuals can set their status to "ON" when they embark and "OFF" when they disembark. For extended absences, such as leave, the "AWAY" status keeps everyone informed of the individual’s availability.
Custom Onboarding Flows Managing visitors can be challenging, especially when it comes to ensuring compliance with safety and confidentiality protocols. Sentry allows for custom onboarding flows, enabling you to require visitors to read and sign non-disclosure agreements or other essential documents before they step on board. This feature helps maintain security and accountability, ensuring that all visitors are properly briefed before accessing the vessel.
In-Port Muster In emergencies, every second counts. Sentry's In-Port Muster feature facilitates quick and efficient roll-calls during emergency musters. This function ensures that all personnel are accounted for promptly, enhancing safety protocols and potentially saving lives.
Activity Logs Generate and export detailed logs of crew and visitor activity using powerful filters and intuitive controls, providing a clear record of onboard movements.
Enhanced Safety and Security Knowing who is onboard at all times is crucial for maintaining the safety and security of your vessel. Sentry's real-time updates and custom onboarding flows ensure that only authorised personnel are onboard and that they are fully briefed on necessary protocols.
Operational Efficiency Sentry simplifies the process of managing crew and visitors, reducing administrative burden and allowing you to focus on more critical tasks. The In-Port Muster feature, in particular, enhances emergency preparedness, ensuring swift and efficient roll-calls.
Compliance and Accountability By requiring visitors to complete custom onboarding flows, Sentry helps ensure compliance with industry regulations and company policies. This feature also provides a clear record of who has boarded the vessel and their status, enhancing accountability.
