Is it integrated with work and rest hours?

Yes. Crew Management shares data with the Work & Rest Hours module, so manning, rotation and MLC 2006 rest-hour compliance are managed against the same crew list.

Crew Management Software for Ships

Q: What does crew management software do?

Crew management software manages the full seafarer lifecycle for a fleet: certificate and STCW expiry tracking, rotation and relief planning, payroll and allotments, travel logistics, appraisals, and flag-state and P&I compliance, so no seafarer sails with an expired document and reliefs are planned in advance.

Q: Does it track STCW and certificate expiry?

Yes. Every seafarer certificate, endorsement and medical is tracked with automated expiry alerts to crewing and the vessel, preventing detentions and last-minute relief scrambles.

Volaxin crew management software showing the crew list with STCW certificate expiry alerts, rotation and relief planning for a vessel — **Crew & Certificates** — seafarer list with certificate expiry alerts and rotation planning.

The Whole Seafarer Lifecycle, One System

Crewing failures are expensive and public: an expired certificate found at Port State Control is a detention; a botched relief is a flight, a hotel and an overrun contract. Volaxin's crew management software replaces spreadsheets and email with a single fleet-wide crew list where every certificate, contract, rotation and payment is tracked and alerted in advance.

Because crewing shares data with work & rest hours and PMS, the same person record drives manning, MLC compliance and the maintenance workload on board.

Core Capabilities

Certificates & STCW Compliance

Every certificate, endorsement, visa and medical tracked with automated expiry alerts to crewing and the vessel — no seafarer sails out of certification.

Rotation & Relief Planning

Sign-on/sign-off planning with contract lengths, reliever availability, rank matching and travel lead-times, so reliefs are visible months ahead.

Payroll & Allotments

Wage scales by rank and flag, overtime, allotments and multi-currency payments, with payslips and full audit trail.

Travel & Logistics

Crew-change travel, documentation and cost tracking tied to the rotation plan.

Appraisals & Records

Performance appraisals, training records, sea-time and a complete history that follows the seafarer across contracts and vessels.

Flag-State & P&I Compliance

Manning against flag-state requirements and Maritime Labour Convention obligations, with the evidence PSC and P&I expect.

Why It Matters

No expired documents at sea — advance alerts prevent detentions and off-hire.
Planned reliefs, lower cost — fewer emergency crew changes and travel overruns.
One record, everywhere — crewing, rest hours and maintenance share the same seafarer data.
Audit-ready MLC — rest-hour and manning evidence produced as a by-product of daily work.
