Period

The problem isn’t doing the check. It’s knowing it was done.

Officers recognise these moments. They’re not dramatic failures. They’re the quiet gaps that accumulate.

Checks slip through

Unfinished items don’t always stay visible. When the month turns over, what’s still outstanding can get lost, and nobody’s sure what was actually left undone.

A tick isn’t much of a record

When someone asks who checked an item, when, and against which wording, a green cell in a sheet doesn’t help much.

Defects get found then forgotten

A failed item is noted during the round, then buried in last month’s history while the equipment stays broken.

Handovers lose context

The person taking over reconstructs the picture from emails, paper and half-updated lists, instead of seeing what’s still outstanding.

Operational picture

See what's due, overdue and coming up.

Recurring checks are grouped by period, so the round is a list of work to finish rather than a hunt through spreadsheets.

Anything not completed stays overdue until it is dealt with. It does not disappear because the calendar rolled into another month.

How it works

From setup to a finished check.

ChekLog makes the round straightforward: identify the equipment, review the list, record exceptions, and keep the history.

Set up

Record
01

Set up your vessel

Add equipment using editable starter templates, locations and asset records.

02

Print and scan

Generate QR labels, attach them to equipment and scan using a phone.

03

Review, flag, confirm

Review the checklist, flag any unsatisfactory items and confirm the remaining checks in one action.

04

Keep the record

Every inspection is saved with its responses, checklist version, inspector, completion time and associated defects.

On the round

Routine checks, confirmed in one action.

Review the checklist, flag anything that needs attention and confirm the rest in one action. Built for crew moving around the vessel, not sitting behind a desk.

Unflagged items are recorded as satisfactory when you confirm. Each response is still stored against that checklist item on the inspection record.

  • Each asset gets its own QR, which opens that equipment record on a phone.
  • Print onto compatible A4 sticker sheets, or on ordinary paper to cut out and laminate.
  • Print the PDF at Actual size / 100%, attach the labels, and scan on the round.

Setup

Don't build your equipment list from scratch.

Starter templates cover the gear you already recognise on board. Pick one and you get fields, a working checklist and a schedule to adapt to your vessel's procedures.

Edit checklists, equipment types and locations as you go. Completed inspections keep the checklist version used at the time, so later edits do not rewrite yesterday's record. Treat the starters as a head start, then check them against your own procedures.

Inspection history

Every check recorded. Every result traceable.

Each completed inspection preserves the checklist used, individual responses, who performed it and when. Failed items remain linked to their defects, while historical records stay unchanged when checklists are updated.

  • Checklist wording as it was asked
  • Each response and overall result
  • Who performed the check
  • When it was completed
  • Notes and photos
  • Linked defects

The inspection tells you what was found. The defect tells you what still needs doing.

A flagged item still records the check. The defect stays visible until it's resolved. It doesn't vanish into historical records.

Crew finish the round with a clear result. Open defects remain on the operational picture so follow-up isn't left to memory or a buried note.
