01
Capture the handover where the work happened
Record voice notes, take photos, type short answers, and upload existing documents while walking the vessel or closing a rotation.
Features
Your notes become a crew handover.
Add voice notes, photos, written notes, and documents for your role and vessel. PassLog generates the handover. Review the equipment status, open work, and next actions with the incoming crew, then sign the PDF.
See what goes into the generated handover
Follow the capture and review process, then inspect a fictional completed report.
02
Turn vague answers into usable detail
If the answer is too thin, PassLog asks for the missing owner, date, location, evidence, contact, or next action before sign-off.
03
Review the generated handover
PassLog generates the handover from your captured answers and files. Check the details, record both acknowledgements, and retain the signed PDF with the vessel records.
Capture layer
The handover can start as speech, a photo, a file, or a note.
Use a voice note for an explanation, a photo for an identifiable observation, and a document for the service or maintenance record. Review the captured information before treating it as part of the final handover.
Voice
Talk naturally through watch notes, open work, defects, procedures, preferences, and anything that should survive crew change.
Photos
Attach visual proof: equipment, location, labels, defects, inventory, checklists, supplier cards, or temporary fixes.
Uploads
Bring in existing PDFs, Word docs, service sheets, forms, checklists, and supplier notes instead of starting from zero.
Review
See the missing details clearly before the document is signed, so the next person is not left guessing.

Completeness
Review the equipment, evidence, owner, and next action.
“All good” leaves the next person without a named system or a recorded observation. During review, check what was inspected, what remains open, where the evidence is stored, and who will take the next action.
Role-aware
Choose the role and handover scope.
Identify the duties being transferred before capture. Keep engineering, deck, and interior records within their department scope, and assign an owner to work that involves more than one department.
