FREE to download and FREE to create a user profile, the Offshore SMS has been developed to give commercial vessel owners, skippers and crew the tools they need to be safe on the water, anywhere in the world.
Every vessel should have a safety management system (SMS) or safety management plan, and everyone on the boat, from the owner to the crew, must know where it is, what is in it, and how to use it. The OffshoreSMS app makes this easy!
Owners and masters can build and update the SMS in real time from anywhere on earth. Every change is synced in real time to every crew member on the boat, and all crew have the SMS right in their pocket!
Whether you're based, or whatever your operation, OffshoreSMS will simplify safety on your vessels, plus give you a ton of easy-to-use tools to save you time and money, and all with zero paper!!
If you're a crew member on a vessel, there is no cost whatsoever! Simply download the app and search for the vessel you work on, then request crew access to start using the app!
Created with input from commercial vessel operators from day one, our aim is to simplify the process of running a vessel safely and reducing paper on your boat.
We've made it super easy to add a vessel, connect with other users on the app and induct them as crew, and do all of the legally required vessel logs.
Offshore SMS features include:
• Quick signup through the app
• Update your own personal profile and be found by other vessel skippers
• Great for everyone on any commercial vessel anywhere

What's New in OffshoreSMS
4.10.2
October 17, 2024
A more streamlined vessel shutdown log and a few minor bug fixes.
I”m managing a fleet of vessels at a resort and using offshore sms has been the absolute best! The usability, the logs, the support, the reminders, the updates, the tracking, the manifests are all amazing. If you run a fleet or even a commercial vessel it’s a no brainer to have this app. Couldn’t be happier!
