Understanding the regulatory compliance challenge

We understand the challenges of ensuring both onboard and shoreside teams can easily access current, compulsory regulations to be compliant. In addition, finding, accessing and researching regulations is time consuming and can take away from your capacity, as well as the crew’s, to implement changes or prepare for audits.

Managing regulatory compliance through individual publications presents additional challenges and multiplies workloads for onboard and onshore personnel. Additionally, the traditional method of receiving and manually updating paper copies with new amendments is inefficient. Often, by the time all vessels are updated, the new regulations are already in force. This can result in inefficient planning, incorrect interpretation or implementation of regulations, and non-compliance.

Updating regulations individually across multiple copies makes it difficult to share amendments and updates among teams.
Regulation content structure varies and isn't always clear, with documentation being inconsistently stored across the fleet.
Different vessels require unique regulations based on their territories or flag states.

From IMO to EU: Stay compliant with Regs4ships' comprehensive regulatory databases and intuitive search functionality.
