For Ship Owners, Operators & Fleet Managers

Marine Fleet Management Software Built for Real Operations

Track every vessel, every port call, every maintenance window, and every crew rotation from one platform. Base connects the operational side of fleet management to the financial side, so your team stops managing the fleet in one system and the money in another. From vessel status to disbursement accounting to crew compliance, it is one record per vessel. Operators on Base typically see fleet-wide port call data in a single view within the first week.

Every Vessel, Every Port Call, One Dashboard

See where each vessel is, what port call is active, what maintenance is due, and whether crew certifications are current. The fleet dashboard pulls from the same records your agents and operators work in every day. No separate tracking spreadsheet. No waiting for an ops update email.

Each vessel record connects to its port call history, its disbursement accounts, its maintenance log, and its crew roster. The fleet view is a roll-up of data your team already enters, not a second system to maintain.

Planned Maintenance That Connects to the Money

Schedule maintenance tasks per vessel with due dates, intervals, and compliance requirements. When a maintenance window coincides with a port call, the cost shows up on the disbursement account alongside the port charges. Your fleet manager sees the maintenance calendar. Your finance team sees the cost impact. Same record.

Most fleet management tools stop at the maintenance schedule. Base follows the cost through to the accounting sync. When the vendor invoice for the engine overhaul lands, your AP team processes it against the same vessel record the fleet manager scheduled it on.

What Your Fleet Management Covers

Vessel Registry

Every vessel in your fleet with type, flag, class, IMO number, and tonnage. The registry is the anchor for every other record in Base.

Port Call History

Full port call timeline per vessel: nominations, PDAs, charges, FDAs, documents. Filter by port, date range, principal, or agent.

Planned Maintenance

Schedule recurring and one-time tasks with due dates, intervals, and compliance flags. Get alerts when a window approaches during a port call.

Crew Management

Track crew assignments, certifications, and rotation schedules per vessel. Flag expiring certificates before the vessel arrives at a port with inspection requirements.

Procurement + Spares

Manage purchase orders for vessel supplies, spare parts, and services. Each PO ties to a vessel record and flows through to your accounting system.

Compliance + Certificates

Store and track vessel certificates, class surveys, flag state documents, and regulatory compliance records. Get alerts before expiry.

Crew Certifications Tracked Against the Vessel Schedule

Assign crew to vessels with their certification records attached. When a certificate is expiring within 30 days and the vessel has a port call scheduled in a jurisdiction that inspects for it, Base flags it before the vessel arrives. Your ship agent sees the flag on the port call record. Your fleet manager sees it on the crew dashboard.

Crew rotations, port agency coordination for crew changes, and the associated costs all connect back to the same vessel record your operations and finance teams share.

Questions We Hear Before the Demo

""We already use a ship management ERP. Why add Base?""

Most ship management ERPs handle the technical side: maintenance schedules, class surveys, procurement. What they miss is the port call financial lifecycle: PDAs, disbursement accounts, principal billing, agent coordination. Base connects the two. Your ERP handles the engine overhaul schedule. Base handles the cost of that overhaul when it happens at a specific port.

""We are a smaller operator. Is Base built for fleets our size?""

Yes. Base scales from single-vessel agencies to fleets with hundreds of vessels. The same dashboard works at every scale. You pay for what you use, and the setup is measured in weeks, not quarters.

""We need our fleet data to stay in one place, not spread across tools.""

That is exactly the problem Base solves. The vessel record in Base holds port call history, maintenance logs, crew rosters, disbursement accounts, and accounting entries. One vessel, one record, every department reading from it.

Fleet Management

See Your Fleet in One Dashboard With the Financials Attached

Walk through the fleet view, drill into a vessel, review a port call, check maintenance due dates, and follow the cost from PDA to FDA to your accounting system. Bring your vessel list.

“We had vessel tracking in one system and port call billing in another. Base put them on the same screen. Our ops team and finance team stopped emailing each other.”

Marine Fleet Management Questions

Marine fleet management software tracks every vessel in your fleet: location, port call status, maintenance schedules, crew assignments, certifications, and the financial records attached to each port call. Base combines fleet visibility with disbursement accounting, so your operations and finance teams work from the same vessel record.
Ship management ERPs focus on the technical side: planned maintenance, procurement, QHSE. Base focuses on the operational and financial side: port calls, PDAs, FDAs, principal billing, agent coordination, and accounting sync. Many operators run both, with Base handling the port call lifecycle and the ERP handling the maintenance program.
Yes. You schedule maintenance tasks per vessel with due dates, intervals, and compliance requirements. Base flags upcoming maintenance when it coincides with a port call and connects the cost of that maintenance to the disbursement account. Your fleet manager sees the schedule. Your finance team sees the cost.
You assign crew to vessels with their certification records attached. Base tracks certification expiry dates and flags them when a vessel is heading to a port with inspection requirements. Crew rotations, crew change coordination with port agents, and the associated costs all live on the same vessel record.
Bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, offshore supply vessels (OSVs), tugs, barges, and any custom vessel type your fleet operates. Each vessel type can have its own rate card templates, maintenance schedules, and crew requirements.
Yes. Base syncs disbursement accounts, vendor invoices, and journal entries to QuickBooks and Xero. Each charge line maps to your chart of accounts. The accounting record matches the port call record because they came from the same data.
Every port call in Base is tied to a vessel record. The PDA, charge tracking, FDA, and accounting sync all reference the vessel. The fleet dashboard is a roll-up of this data. You do not maintain fleet data separately from port call data. They are the same records.
Yes. Store class certificates, flag state documents, safety management certificates, and regulatory compliance records per vessel. Base alerts you before certificates expire so you can schedule renewals ahead of port state control inspections.
Yes. Base handles fleets operating across dozens of ports simultaneously. Each vessel has its own port call timeline, maintenance schedule, and crew roster. The fleet dashboard gives you the roll-up view across all of them.
Most operators have their fleet loaded and running live port calls within two to three weeks. You import your vessel registry, set up rate cards for your busiest ports, and run your first real port call alongside your existing process. The fleet dashboard populates as your team works.
