Seafarer Database & Certificate Compliance

Crewing teams maintain one structured record for each seafarer's personal information, documents, certificates, sea service, education, evaluations, and employment history. AI-assisted CV and document import reduces manual entry, while company-wide and vessel-specific matrices show missing, expired, and expiring requirements.

Structured Seafarer Records

Recruiters and crew managers search one database containing profile data, documents, sea service, education, evaluations, and employment history.

AI-Assisted Data Entry

Users upload an existing CV, certificate, or document, review the recognized fields, and save approved information to the seafarer record.

Visible Document Readiness

Profile and planning views surface documents that are missing, expired, or approaching expiry against configured company and vessel rules.

Structured Profiles & Sea Service

A seafarer profile keeps personal and contact information together with documents, certificates, sea service, education, evaluations, skills, employment history, and attached files. Users can search the database, open a quick preview, or work with the complete profile.

AI-Powered CV Import

Upload a PDF, DOCX, or HTML CV to extract personal details, contacts, sea service, documents, and education for review. Users can create a new profile or add only missing information and new records to an existing profile; the import does not silently overwrite existing values.

AI Certificate & Document Recognition

When a user uploads certificate or document files, Crewvector recognizes document information and extracts relevant fields. The user reviews the result before saving it, so recognized data becomes part of the same seafarer record with less manual entry.

Company & Vessel Certificate Matrices

Administrators define required documents by rank in a company-wide matrix and add requirements for individual vessels. At each rank-and-document intersection, they can specify how many months the document must remain valid at embarkation. Crewvector then reports missing or invalid requirements when the seafarer is assigned.

Expiration Notifications & Profile Exports

Administrators select document categories, reminder thresholds, recipients, frequency, send time, and timezone for certificate expiration emails. Users can also create templates that export seafarer data into the profile formats required by their company or ship manager.

Includes a nominal-vs-deployable comparison table, an audit checklist, and a section on why offshore and deep-sea behave differently.
