Offshore Vessel Operations Software

Your fleet runs platform supply runs, anchor handling, subsea inspections, and marine construction jobs across multiple charterers. Each vessel generates port calls, vendor invoices, crew changes, and billing records that need to reconcile before month-end. Base connects fleet dispatch, port call management, and financial operations so your shore team and your vessels work from the same record.

Fleet Dispatch and Port Call Management

Dispatch vessels to jobs, track their port call activity, and bill your charterers from the same platform. Each job references the vessel, the charterer, and the port. Fleet dispatch and port call management share the same data, so your operations team and your billing team see the same job status.

Vendors, Compliance & Accounting

Vendor management, sanctions screening, and subcontractor management feed into your QuickBooks or Xero sync with full job context.

Charterer Billing and Cost Recovery

Each offshore job tracks costs by vessel, by charterer, and by job type. When the job closes, generate the invoice from the charges already on the record. Your accounting sync posts each charge to the right cost center in QuickBooks or Xero. Job costing shows margin per vessel, per charterer, per job.

Common Concerns

"We already have ship management software."

Ship management ERPs handle planned maintenance, class surveys, and technical fleet management. Base handles the financial and operational side: dispatching, port calls, billing, vendor management, and accounting sync. They complement each other.

"Our offshore operations span multiple regions and currencies."

Base supports operations across any number of regions with multi-currency charge tracking. Port tariffs, vendor rates, and charterer billing each operate in their own currency. Reporting consolidates to your base currency.

"We need per-charterer profitability reporting."

Every charge in Base carries the charterer reference alongside the vessel and job. Filter by charterer, by vessel, or by job type. See margin per charterer across all their jobs, or drill into a single job.

“Our dispatch team and our billing team used to work in completely separate systems. Now they share the same job record. When ops closes a job, finance already has the charges ready to invoice.”

Your Offshore Operations, Connected Shore to Vessel

Offshore Vessel Operations Software FAQ

Offshore vessel operations software manages the shore-side workflows for operating a fleet of offshore vessels: dispatching vessels to jobs, managing port calls, tracking charges, billing charterers, coordinating vendors, and syncing to your accounting system. It connects fleet operations to financial operations in one platform.
Dispatch vessels to platform runs, anchor handling jobs, subsea inspections, or marine construction work. Each dispatch creates a job record that tracks the vessel, the charterer, the port calls, and every charge generated during the job.
Yes. A single vessel can serve multiple charterers across different jobs. Each job tracks charges separately. Invoice each charterer from their own job record. Job costing shows margin per charterer per vessel.
Yes. Any offshore vessel type that generates port calls, vendor charges, and charterer billing works in Base. The platform, the anchor handling site, or the subsea inspection location are all “jobs” with charges attached.
Fleet management in Base tracks your vessel registry, maintenance schedules, crew rosters, and compliance status. Offshore operations use the same vessel records for dispatch and billing. Your fleet data and your operational data are the same records.
Base handles the financial and operational shore-side layer. Your ship management ERP handles planned maintenance, class surveys, and technical fleet management. Base syncs financial data to QuickBooks or Xero. Data flows between the systems via API.
Most operators load their fleet and start running jobs within the first two weeks. Import your vessel registry, set up your charterer rate cards, and run your first port call alongside your existing process. The system builds depth as your team works.
