Fleet operations software for ship managers
Neptane is fleet operations software for companies managing other people’s ships. Your superintendents open one screen in the morning and see which of their vessels need something, what it is, and how long it has been waiting.
Four situations
Derived from real-world scenarios.
The CLC expired three weeks ago, unseen in a list of sixty-one certificates sorted by name. She berths at Rotterdam on Friday, port state control comes aboard, and the deficiency is written up before your office knows.
Neptane separates expired certificates from expiring ones and sorts a ship that is arriving soonest to the top. The dashboard says which vessel, which certificate, and how many days ago.
A ship changes hands during a reshuffle. Both men assume the other is covering her, and for three weeks nobody opens her file. An unassigned vessel raises no alerts addressed to anybody, so the overdue jobs accumulate quietly.
A vessel with no superintendent assigned sorts above every vessel that has one, and stays there until somebody is named against her.
The charterer alleges the vessel underperformed on a voyage last spring. Your own analysis of the noon reports says she met the warranty, so you send it. Their analyst removes four days where two knots of favourable current were doing the work, reruns it, and the claim stands.
Neptane derives current from speed over ground against speed through water and excludes those days before you send anything. Every excluded day is listed with its date and the figure that excluded it.
The annual AIS test required by SOLAS V/18.9 could have been done alongside in Singapore in March, where an approved technician was already aboard for the radio survey. Your system showed it as due in eighty days, so nobody raised it, and it was done in May at a berth where it cost three times as much.
A survey inside its HSSC window reads as work you can discharge on this port call.
Every figure starts here.
Each traces back to a form your officer filled at noon, on a ship that may have had no link at the time. The foot of every screen states the last noon received and how many of your vessels are reporting.
The working day
The bridge fills one form. From it Neptane issues the company abstract and the technical report, posts the declared differences to accounts at month end, and calculates the CII, MRV and DCS figures. Nobody ashore retypes any of it.
Position, distance, hours, weather, consumption. Filed at noon, link or no link.
At seaThe company abstract and the technical report, issued from the same filing.
AshoreA short list of declared differences, each dated and attributed.
Month endCII and AER, MRV and IMO DCS, MARPOL Annex VI, all off the operating record.
AnnualModules
Jobs, running hours, overdue counts, and a costed ninety-day forecast across your fleet.
Stock in hand derived from movements. Critical minimums, shortfalls, IMPA and ISSA codes.
Requisition to order, quote comparison, and approval limits enforced on the server.
Incidents, findings, risk assessments, vetting and internal audits, with repeats surfaced fleet-wide.
Vessel certificates with HSSC windows, including the annual AIS test under SOLAS V/18.9.
CoC, GMDSS, medical and STCW endorsements, checked against each seafarer’s rank.
Daily records, monthly sheets, and the non-conformity list a PSC officer asks for.
The vessel terminal, the noon form, and the two documents of record it issues.
Supplier documents read on arrival and matched to a vessel. Unmatched ones are quarantined with the reason.
Fixtures held against the vessel, with laytime and demurrage derived from recorded hours.
Good-weather speed and consumption against your warranty, on the limits your fixture agreed.
Jobs outstanding by month, completions by vessel, critical spares, defects, certificates by time remaining.
Per-vessel link availability, coverage, latency and data used, measured on board.
The same console in one column, on the device your superintendent already carries.
In build
Components held against the SFI Group System, so a job on No.2 auxiliary is a job on that engine.
Q4 2026What arrived against what was ordered, landed against the vessel holding it.
Q4 2026Budget against actual by vessel and category, off invoices already filed.
Q1 2027Specification, tender and yard comparison, carrying the jobs already deferred.
Q1 2027EU ETS allowances and FuelEU Maritime, on the verified consumption record.
Q1 2027Position read from the vessel’s own GPS through a read-only tap, with no data vendor in between.
Q2 2027Scope
Neptane records what arrived and against which vessel. Your trial balance stays where it is.
Out of scopeNeptane reports on each vessel’s link in detail. You keep buying the link from whoever you buy it from.
Out of scopeCertificates, rest hours and the crew list are held and checked. Placing seafarers is somebody else’s business.
Out of scopeTwo vessels, one quarter
A pilot runs on two of your own vessels, with your own forms, for long enough that a month end happens inside it. Your crews keep their paper log throughout.
