Crew Database Management Software – Starboard 20

Smart, Customized & Cost-Effective Crew Management

Starboard 20 is our highly customized and competitively priced Crew Database Management Software (CMS) developed exclusively for the shipping industry. It is designed to simplify crew management by automating documentation, generating intelligent reports, and reducing the administrative burden on crewing teams.

Automated Documentation

The software automatically generates a wide range of company-specific documentation with minimal user input. These include:

  • Seamans Employment Agreements (SEA)

  • Application forms

  • Provident Fund (PF) and Gratuity forms

  • Crew Change emails

  • Air Travel booking request emails

  • Many more documents as required by the company

By automating these repetitive tasks, Starboard 20 saves time, minimizes errors, and ensures faster turnaround of critical paperwork.

Reports & Presentations

Starboard 20 comes with a variety of customized reports and graphical presentations that support efficient decision-making. These include:

  • Matrix Reports

  • Rotation Plans

  • Crew Lists in IMO format

These tools give management a clear and organized view of crew planning and vessel readiness.

Alerts & Reminders

The system also provides timely email alerts and reminders that keep the crewing team and management ahead of deadlines. These include notifications for:

  • Expiring seafarers’ documents

  • Expiring vessel documents and ship certificates

  • Contract expiry alerts

  • Lifeboat and accommodation capacity limits being exceeded

This proactive system helps reduce compliance risks and ensures smooth crew operations.

Access for Principals & Seafarers

Starboard 20 ensures transparency and efficiency by extending access to both principals and seafarers:

  • Principals can view ship-specific seafarer data directly, without delays.

  • Seafarers receive login rights to update their own records, reducing the workload of the crewing team and keeping information accurate and up-to-date.

A Digital Crewing Assistant

Starboard 20 is more than just software — it is like a crewing team member in digital form. By taking over repetitive tasks, managing alerts, and providing instant access to information, it substantially improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the crewing team.
