• Overtime calculation can now be configured separately for each vessel, allowing organisations to choose between manual processing and calculation through the ISF Watchkeeper integration.

• Crew Light CSV imports now support domain login, email address and CSM activation details, allowing seafarer accounts to be prepared directly during the import process.

• ShipClient users can now save Event Reports and MRV reports before all BDN information required for CII consumption is complete, allowing fuel and consumption data to be entered progressively rather than in a single session.

CFM Incidents

• Microsoft Word exports of incident reports now include images attached to reports and remarks, providing more complete visual documentation in the exported record.
