How Voyage Record Log Works
Route & Position Tracking
MarineInspection tracks vessel positions with GPS coordinates, course over ground, speed over ground and distance calculations throughout each voyage. The system records waypoint passages, course alterations, speed changes and route deviations with timestamps and officer acknowledgments. Automated ETA calculations update based on current speed and remaining distance, with alerts for significant delays or early arrivals — enabling proactive port coordination and charter party compliance.

Weather Records
Weather Observation Logging
Record comprehensive weather observations including true and apparent wind speed and direction, sea state using the Douglas Scale, swell height and period, visibility, barometric pressure with tendency, and air and sea temperatures. MarineInspection maintains weather logs at regular intervals and during significant weather changes — supporting voyage performance analysis, speed claims documentation and heavy weather reports for P&I claims and charter party disputes.
- Wind and sea state records on the Douglas Scale
- Visibility and barometric pressure logging with tendency
- Heavy weather documentation with timestamps
- Claims support data for P&I and charter party disputes

Why Marine Inspection
Why Use Voyage Record Log with Marine Inspection
One platform for every voyage record — from noon reports to Statements of Facts.
1
Complete Voyage Documentation in One Platform
Consolidates route tracking, weather observations, port calls and movement records in a single digital platform. Replace multiple paper logbooks with comprehensive voyage documentation accessible from bridge, engine room or shore office.
2
Real-Time Position and ETA Sharing
Share vessel positions and ETA updates automatically with charterers, agents and operations teams. Proactive notifications for delays or early arrivals enable better port coordination and reduce demurrage exposure.
3
Weather Records for Claims and Performance Analysis
Detailed weather logs support P&I claims, charter party disputes and speed/consumption analyses. Historical weather data correlated with vessel performance helps identify efficiency opportunities and defend against unfounded claims.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about voyage record logs and route tracking.
MarineInspection tracks GPS positions, course and speed over ground, distance traveled, waypoint passages, ETA calculations, port arrivals and departures, anchorage events, pilot operations and weather observations including wind, sea state, swell, visibility and barometric pressure.
The system continuously recalculates ETA from the vessel's current speed and remaining distance along the passage plan. When the ETA shifts significantly — from weather, speed reduction or deviation — automated alerts notify operations teams, agents and charterers so port calls can be re-coordinated early and demurrage exposure reduced.
Yes. Weather observations are timestamped and position-referenced, producing a contemporaneous record of wind, sea state, swell and visibility throughout the voyage. Heavy weather reports generated from these logs are accepted supporting evidence for P&I cargo claims, speed and performance disputes and charter party claims.
Yes. Every port call event — pilot boarding, first line, all fast, cargo commencement and completion, last line and departure — is logged with timestamps. The system compiles these into a Statement of Facts format supporting laytime calculations and demurrage claims, exportable for agents and charterers.
