Marine Safety Manager — Shipboard LSA & FFE Inventory and Inspection Tracking

Why MSM

The 3 problems every
Safety Officer knows by heart

MSM was built around real daily pain — not around a feature list.

⏱

An overdue inspection found during a PSC visit

A liferaft service overrun, an expired EPIRB battery, a pyrotechnic past its date — one lapsed item is a deficiency, a delay, and potential detention.

Every item is colour-coded by status — expired, due soon (≤ 60 days), or valid — and sorted soonest-first on one dashboard.

📂

Hours rebuilding the safety register by hand

Spreadsheets, photocopies and clipboards for every locker — preparing the LSA/FFE register for an inspector steals entire watches before port call.

Import your existing Excel register in one step, then export a clean PDF or XLSX register for any category — or the whole vessel — in seconds.

📡

Cloud tools fail in the middle of the ocean

VSAT is expensive and unreliable. Any tool that requires an internet connection is unusable where it matters most.

All data is stored locally on every device. MSM works 100% offline — always, everywhere, without exception.

Features

Everything the safety
officer needs, in one app

One offline app covering the full LSA & FFE register — from Excel import to inspection reminders and PSC-ready reports.

Equipment Register

Every appliance organised into 23 categories across LSA, FFE and Other — type, serial/ID, position on the vessel, quantity, dates and remarks. Search and edit any item.

23 categories · LSA · FFE · Other · per-item detail

Inspection Dashboard

All items with a date, sorted soonest-first, so the most urgent work is always on top. Status colours: expired, due soon (≤ 60 days), valid. Filter by LSA / FFE / Other.

Soonest-first · colour-coded · attention filter

Excel Import

Load your existing LSA / FFE Inventories workbook in one step. Each worksheet maps to a category automatically; dates and serials are converted for you, with a preview before saving.

XLSX import · auto category mapping · preview

Reports, Print & Export

Pick any mix of categories and generate a clean safety register — landscape PDF (each item on one line) or XLSX — with type, serial, position, dates and status. Print straight to AirPrint, or export a ZIP bundling the PDF with every attached photo.

PDF · XLSX · Print · ZIP with photos

Certificates

Manage group certificates — one document (e.g. a liferaft service certificate) linked to the many items it covers. Each carries its own expiry status and surfaces in your due-soon view alongside the equipment.

Group certificates · linked items · expiry tracking

Photos & Documents

Attach up to four photos or documents to any item — service reports, nameplates, PDFs — captured from the camera, library or files, and stored on the device with the item.

Camera · library · PDF · up to 4 per item

BA Compressor Log

Optional module for the breathing-air compressor: track up to three units, log each charging run by time into an accumulated running-time counter, and record dated maintenance, service and inspection events.

Up to 3 units · running-time counter · maintenance log

Monthly Checklists

Checklist categories — hydrants, BA bottle pressure and fire detectors — carry a 12-month grid so routine monthly checks are logged with a single tap.

Cloud Sync

Optional sync shares the register across approved devices on the same vessel, keyed by IMO number. The first device is the Master and approves the others. Data stays isolated per vessel.

IMO vessel account · device approval · push / pull

Backup & Restore

Export a single .msm backup holding the entire register — items, certificates, compressor logs, vessel info and every attached file embedded inside. Restore it on a new device or after a reinstall, no cloud required.

One-file .msm · files included · device-to-device

Built-in Manual

An in-app guide with indicative SOLAS / FSS inspection intervals for each category and regulatory references — so the next service date is never a guess.

One Vessel · Every Device

One register.
Every device on board.

Optional Cloud Sync shares the same safety register across every approved device on the vessel — keyed by the ship's IMO number.

How vessel sync works

MSM keeps the register on the device by default. Turn on Cloud Sync and the whole crew works from one shared, approved set of devices — no servers to manage.

Install MSM on any platform — iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows.

The first device becomes the Master. It signs in with the vessel's IMO number.

Other officers sign in with the same IMO. The Master approves each device in one tap.

The register syncs to every approved device — shared data, isolated per vessel.

Patient-free & private: the register holds equipment data only. Cloud Sync is optional and each vessel sees only its own data, isolated under its IMO account.

Regulatory Framework

Mapped to the rules your
vessel is inspected against

MSM organises your LSA and FFE register around the conventions and codes that govern shipboard safety equipment. Indicative intervals in the app must always be verified against your flag, class and the makers' instructions.
