MarRest Resources for Maritime Rest-Hour Compliance
Use this resource library to navigate MarRest guides by operational task: passenger vessel operations, fishing compliance foundations, inspection readiness, fatigue and rolling-window control, and software selection.
Quick Answer
Start with In the app for clock-in, rest reports, Approval of Closed Days, marketplace, Vaktos, and languages. Then use the passenger-vessel and fishing guides for regulatory and operational context. MarRest supports records and review; the guides and software do not certify compliance or authority acceptance.
In the app
What MarRest does on board today: clock-in, rest reports, Approval of Closed Days, marketplace, Vaktos punch sync, and Icelandic, Norwegian, and English in the app.
Clock-in
Start and stop watches on the phone, see the 24-hour rest indicator, and get a non-blocking warning based on the planned end or an assumed 12-hour duration.
Rest reports
Monthly 24-hour hourly checkpoints, 168-hour daily/report checkpoints, split-rest review, account sign-off, PDF export, and a what-if sandbox.
Approval of Closed Days
A captain or administrator reviews a completed workday for a vessel. Optional for companies and separate from monthly account sign-off.
Marketplace
Call out of a future published watch. Eligible crew claim it. First claim wins — not a group chat.
With Vaktos
Vaktos can publish the roster. When enabled, punch sync can bring Vaktos entries into MarRest for verification. Deputy iCal remains when Vaktos is off.
Languages
Icelandic, Norwegian, and English. Each user picks a language in their profile. Reports and PDFs follow that choice.
Passenger Vessel Operations
Start here if you run ferries, tour boats, or other scheduled passenger services. The digital rest-hour logbook is the category; the compliance guide is the parent for the rest limits.
Digital Rest-Hour Logbook
What a digital work/rest record is, why paper fails, and how actual hours are kept onboard — including when crew change vessels.
Passenger Vessel Rest-Hour Compliance
How ferry and tour boat operators work with STCW A-VIII/1, MLC 2006, and the Norwegian Ship Safety and Security Act section 24 — 10h/24h, 77h/168h, and split rest.
10 Hours Rest in 24 Hours
The rolling daily rest limit: any 24-hour window, not a midnight-to-midnight box.
77 Hours Rest in 168 Hours
The legal 77-hour requirement in any applicable 168-hour period and how MarRest samples daily/report checkpoints.
Split Rest 6h/14h
Morning-and-evening split shifts and the 14-hour interval rule.
STCW Rest Hours for Passenger Vessels
STCW A-VIII/1 fitness for duty, records, and how it sits with MLC and Norwegian section 24.
Rest Hours on Ferries
Fixed timetables, cover watches, and tour-boat days as the same passenger-vessel rest problem.
Fishing Compliance Foundations
Start here when you need the regulatory baseline and practical work/rest controls for fishing vessels.
STCW-F Compliance Guide
Understand the 1995 STCW-F training and watchkeeping convention, the revised code effective in 2026, ILO C188, Norwegian rules, and evidence workflows.
Norwegian Fishing Vessel Rest-Hour Compliance
Learn how Norwegian operators document compliance with watch plans, operational plans, deviations, and review evidence.
Inspection Readiness
Use these resources to prepare records, crews, and evidence packages before audits or inspections.
STCW-F Compliance Checklist
A practical checklist for rest records, rolling limits, split-rest evidence, overrides, and training documentation.
Maritime Rest-Hour Inspection
See what inspectors commonly request and how to present coherent planning, execution, and corrective-action evidence. Passenger operators: start from the rest-hour logbook and the passenger-vessel compliance guide.
Fatigue and Rest Windows
Review 24-hour and 168-hour periods, fatigue trends, and schedule intervention decisions while distinguishing operational guidance from app features.
Fatigue Monitoring for Fishing Fleets
Move beyond compliance checkboxes with fatigue triggers, trend review, and multi-vessel crew exposure tracking.
Hours of Rest Calculator
Educational website planning tool, separate from the app and not a legal determination. MarRest evaluates 24-hour rest hourly and 168-hour rest at daily/report checkpoints from recorded work.
Software and Process Selection
Compare workflows and decide when spreadsheets or broad maritime tools no longer fit fishing fleet operations.
MarRest vs Watchkeeper
A neutral platform-fit comparison for fishing fleets and merchant fleet workflows.
Why Fishing Fleets Outgrow Spreadsheets
Learn why rolling calculations, version control, audit trails, and multi-vessel tracking strain spreadsheet systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start?
If you want what the app does today, start with In the app: clock-in, rest reports, Approval of Closed Days, marketplace, with Vaktos, and languages. For passenger-vessel rules, open the passenger vessel rest-hour compliance guide. Fishing operators start with the STCW-F compliance guide, then the checklist and inspection guide.
Which pages explain Norwegian documentation?
Use the Norwegian fishing vessel rest-hour compliance guide for local documentation options, including KS-0300 style evidence and watch plan/operations plan workflows in an ISM system.
Which resource helps with rolling 24-hour and 168-hour checks?
Use the website calculator as a planning aid for the entered week. In the MarRest app, 24-hour rest is evaluated at hourly checkpoints and 168-hour rest at daily/report checkpoints; neither tool makes a legal determination.
