Who Watchkeeper is built for
Watchkeeper is built for small Australian domestic commercial vessel operators who want practical vessel paperwork without starting from scratch.
It is designed for operators who need a simple way to organise their SMS, onboard records, vessel logs, maintenance records, defect reports, incident records, crew induction records and emergency drill evidence.
Watchkeeper may suit:
- Small commercial fishing operators
- Torres Strait and remote-area vessel operators
- Owners and masters managing their own paperwork
- Operators who need printable onboard records
- Operators who already have an SMS but need better day-to-day records
- Operators preparing their vessel paperwork before an inspection, audit or review
- Operators who want a self-serve template system they can customise themselves
Watchkeeper products are practical template systems. They are designed to help operators get organised, keep records and build a working paperwork system that can be used onboard and ashore.
Frequently asked questions
What does “AMSA-aligned” mean?
AMSA-aligned means the templates have been prepared with reference to Australian domestic commercial vessel safety-management expectations and common recordkeeping needs. It does not mean AMSA has reviewed, endorsed or approved the product.
Do these templates guarantee compliance?
No. No template can guarantee compliance. Operators are responsible for checking suitability, customising the documents for their vessel and operation, keeping accurate records and meeting all applicable requirements.
What happens after I buy?
After checkout, you receive access to the digital download files. The files are supplied as practical templates, guides and records that you can download, customise, save and print.
Are the files editable?
Yes. The paid Watchkeeper packs include editable documents and printable PDF versions where applicable. You can customise the editable files for your vessel, crew, operating area and procedures.
Can I use the documents on more than one vessel?
Unless a fleet or multi-vessel licence has been purchased, the templates are intended for use by the purchaser for their own vessel or operation. Check the product licence and limitations page for the exact licence terms.
