The End of Paper Chaos
Manual rest hour logs are a source of risk and inefficiency. The authorities know it, and you feel it every day. It's a system prone to:
- Fictitious entries
that hide real compliance issues and create false security.
- Manual calculation errors
that lead to costly and unintentional violations.
- Hours of administrative work
that divert focus from safe and efficient vessel operation.
The MarRest Solution: Simple, Accurate, and Secure
We replace uncertainty with a system that provides complete control and transparency.
Infraction Validation
Receive immediate alerts on suspected rest-hour infractions. Captains can review, validate, or correct logs, ensuring an accurate and compliant record.
Digital Signatures
Crew members digitally sign their monthly reports, locking the record and notifying all relevant captains. This creates a transparent and traceable audit trail.
Work Hour Statistics
Enable your crew to view their registered hours by week or month. Cross-reference hours across vessels, groups, or ranks for greater insight.
Seatime Reports
Easily verify that each crew member has sufficient seatime to qualify for the safety crew. Print and sign reports as required for administrative procedures.
Integrated Messaging
Improve communication with automated notifications for shift changes, report signings, and other system actions, with direct links to the relevant information.
Privacy and Trust
Our comprehensive Privacy Policy clarifies user rights and data handling, fostering a transparent and trustworthy environment for everyone on board.
About the Name
MarRest
Proper noun
Etymology: From mar (“sea, maritime”) + rest (“pause, sleep, recovery”). Formed to represent the balance between maritime operations and required rest periods under international regulations (e.g., STCW).
Pronunciation: IPA: /ˈmɑːr.rɛst/
Meaning: A digital system for managing and monitoring crew work and rest hours on maritime vessels. By extension, a framework for ensuring compliance, transparency, and wellbeing in seagoing operations.
Built by Captains, for the Maritime World
MarRest is not another IT project from a team that has never stood a midnight watch. We are two captains with years of experience on deck. We have felt the frustration of paperwork and the weight of responsibility for our crew's safety. That's why we built the tool we always needed: a system that is intuitive, practical, and solves real-world problems in a demanding environment.
Born out of real-world operations in the Norwegian passenger vessel industry, MarRest stands for a modern, digital approach to responsible maritime management — rest at sea, done right.
