Safety & Compliance

Your crew has a lot on their plate - after all, running a yacht is no easy feat. Safety is critical and a properly developed and operated Safety Management System (SMS) makes all the difference. Dayboard offers a top-of-the-line SMS solution that streamlines processes and reduces the crew’s workload using technology, common sense, and most importantly - experience.

Do you need a Safety Management System?

In short, yes. All yachts benefit from added safety onboard no matter their use. However, if the yacht conducts charters, then Flag States make it compulsory.

The simplest way to know the type of Safety Management System necessary, is to look at the gross tonnage (GT) of the yacht. If it is 499 GT or less, then you need a MINI-ISM, if it is 500 or above, then you need to meet the international requirements of the ISM (International Safety Management) Code.

THE DAYBOARD SYSTEM™:
Everything you need in one place

Our industry-leading Dayboard System™ is flag-compliant and is chocked full of endless benefits that add greater control and can be tailored to your specific operations. The paperless system is backed up on the cloud whenever the iPad(s) is connected to the internet, and yachts with multiple iPads can take advantage of synchronized calendars, contacts, and more.

Due to the absence of stable internet signals at sea, we’ve made sure that your crew can use the system without connecting to the internet. Crew can complete forms, track certificates, view alerts to stay on schedule, and manage documentation at all times. The Dayboard System™ is infinitely customizable and almost any request can be accommodated - including the creation of vessel specific applications!
