How many resources are spent reacting to inspections rather than proactively avoiding deficiencies?
Navguide Solutions [ABS Certified] works closely with QSHE and Training departments across shipping companies to enhance vessel performance in Rightship, SIRE 2.0, and Port State inspections such as USCG or AMSA. Their Class-approved app, Guide2Inspections™, simplifies checklists through microlearning—short videos, games, and pictorial modules—empowering seafarers with an efficient self-inspection tool that leads to fewer inspection failures and detentions.
Used on hundreds of vessels already and showing remarkable results, this unique approach has been recognised by the Intertanko, BIMCO, and the IOMOU, among others, over the past year. The ITF also presented the concept at the IMO (HTW 11) in February 2025. This gathering would highlight its bold impact—how organic upskilling of seafarers enhances safety, boosts crew confidence, and ensures vessels remain charter-ready at all times, leading to tangible commercial benefits to owners.
