Does it check both MLC 2006 and STCW?

Yes. Rest hours are validated against both the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 and STCW rest requirements simultaneously, since the two regimes differ, and violations under either are flagged.

Is it ready for Port State Control?

Yes. The module produces PSC-ready rest-hour records and exports, and links violations to a non-conformity workflow so corrective action is evidenced.

Work & Rest Hours Software (MLC 2006)

Q: What is work and rest hours software?

Work and rest hours software records seafarers' hours of work and rest and checks them automatically against MLC 2006 and STCW limits, flagging violations in real time and producing the records and exports Port State Control inspects.

Rest-Hour Compliance Without the Guesswork

Rest-hour breaches are a leading Port State Control deficiency and a fatigue-driven safety risk. Volaxin's work & rest hours software takes the ambiguity out of it: enter hours once and the system validates them against both regulatory regimes at the same time, warns before a limit is breached, and keeps the audit trail intact.

Core Capabilities

Dual-regime checking — MLC 2006 and STCW rest requirements validated simultaneously.
Automatic violation detection — breaches flagged the moment hours are recorded.
Real-time rest planning — see exposure ahead and plan watches to stay compliant.
PSC-ready export — inspector-format records and reports on demand.
Non-conformity workflow — violations linked to corrective action and SHEQ evidence.
Crew-list integration — the same seafarer record as crew management.

The Payoff

Fewer PSC deficiencies — breaches caught and corrected before inspection.
Lower fatigue risk — a genuine safety and SHEQ improvement.
Less admin — enter once, validate automatically, export in seconds.
