Clear
Simple words win
The handover should be easy to read before the next crew member starts work.
About PassLog
About PassLog
Add voice notes, photos, written notes, and documents. PassLog generates your handover. Review the details with the incoming crew, then sign the PDF.
A pass is the transfer of authority and knowledge. A log is the vessel record. PassLog combines both: the record of what was passed between crew when responsibility changed hands.
You provide the vessel information; PassLog generates the handover. You and the incoming crew review the details before signing.
PassLog starts with technical handovers because they are detailed and high-risk, then expands role by role for captain, deck, interior, ETO, ferry, merchant, yacht, and offshore crews.
The generated report brings the recorded details, supporting files, open work, and acknowledgements together. Its accuracy depends on the information supplied and the crew’s review.
Principles
Clear, accountable, practical
Accountable
Both sides sign
Outgoing confirms accuracy. Incoming confirms they have read and understood.
Maritime
Built around crew change
Rotation, watch notes, open tasks, defects, procedures, and vessel-specific context.
Principles
Why PassLog exists
Crew changes are rushed
Important knowledge is often passed verbally, in messages, or inside one person's routine.
Evidence gets scattered
Photos, supplier notes, documents, and open tasks sit in different places instead of one record.
The next person needs clarity
A good handover says what is open, what was checked, what needs watching, and who to call.
The record should last
The signed PDF gives crew and managers something clear to read, file, and search later.
Built for one job: the maritime handover.
Add voice notes, photos, written notes, and documents. PassLog generates your handover. Review the details with the incoming crew, then sign the PDF.
What to include in your handover
