Inventory equipment completely
Record type, maker, model, serial number, location and documents. Required equipment depends on vessel, flag, waters and use.
Distinguish expiry and inspection
Not every item has a simple expiry. Some require inspection, professional service or replacement after use. Applicable rules and manufacturer guidance control.
Document condition checks
A reminder does not prove safe condition. Record the check, outcome, defects and person performing it.
Safety remains an active duty
Digital tools support overview and evidence. They do not replace required inspection, crew briefing or seamanship.
