Smart Compliance
Every convention, converted into rules. Every rule, applied to your vessel.
Smart Compliance treats regulation as a rules engine, not a document pile. The major maritime conventions — SOLAS, MARPOL, MLC, ISM, ISPS — and the regional and flag-state requirements layered on top of them are codified into machine-readable rules, each carrying its applicability conditions, obligations, deadlines, and evidence requirements. Instead of interpreting hundreds of pages per vessel, operators work with a living rule set that knows exactly what applies to whom. Applicability is automatic: rules apply per vessel based on the vessel category maintained in Smart Vessel — flag, class, type, tonnage, trading areas, and cargo profile. When a vessel's category changes, its obligation register recalculates instantly; when a regulation changes, every affected vessel is identified and its stakeholders notified. Continuous compliance monitoring tracks each obligation's status in real time, with fleet and vessel dashboards showing exactly where the fleet stands — compliant, at risk, or in breach — at any moment. Compliance gaps become action, not anxiety: surveys, updates, and audits can be requested directly from any gap, flowing into Smart Inspect for execution — often by verified surveyors and auditors engaged through Smart Network. Certificate tracking and renewals complete the picture, managing every certificate's validity window, survey dependencies, and renewal timeline with escalating alerts long before expiry threatens trading.

Key Capabilities
Conventions as Machine-Readable Rules
SOLAS, MARPOL, MLC, ISM, and ISPS — plus regional and flag-state requirements — codified into structured rules with explicit applicability conditions, obligations, deadlines, and evidence requirements. The rule library is continuously maintained as amendments enter into force, so the rule set is always the current one.
Automatic Applicability from Smart Vessel
Rules apply per vessel based on the vessel category maintained in Smart Vessel — flag, class, type, tonnage, trading area, and cargo profile. Each vessel's obligation register derives automatically from its categorization and recalculates the moment either the vessel or the regulation changes. No manual mapping, no overlooked obligations.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring & Dashboards
Real-time status tracking for every obligation across the fleet, rolled up into vessel and fleet compliance dashboards. Operators see at a glance which vessels are compliant, which are approaching deadlines, and which have open gaps — with drill-down from fleet posture to the individual rule and its evidence.
Request Surveys & Audits from Gaps
Any compliance gap can be converted directly into action: request the survey, update, or audit that closes it, and the request flows into Smart Inspect for planning and execution — with verified surveyors and auditors available through Smart Network. The gap, the action, and the closing evidence stay linked end to end.
Certificate Tracking & Renewals
Every certificate's validity window, survey dependencies, and renewal timeline managed with escalating alerts long before expiry. The platform understands the relationships between certificates, surveys, and anniversary dates, so renewal planning respects the constraints that actually govern the schedule.
Regulatory Change Intelligence
Monitors legislative developments, IMO circulars, EU communications, and flag state notices, automatically generating impact assessments for changes that affect your fleet. Each assessment identifies the impacted vessels, required actions, implementation timeline, and estimated cost — turning regulatory change into a planned process.
How It Works
Categorize the Fleet
Vessel categories flow in from Smart Vessel — flag, class, type, tonnage, trading areas, cargo profile. Smart Compliance derives each vessel's complete obligation register from its category against the codified rule library.
Monitor Continuously
Every obligation's status tracks in real time against certificates, surveys, reports, and evidence across the platform. Dashboards roll the detail up to fleet posture, and alerts fire while deadlines are still comfortably distant.
Close Gaps Through Action
Gaps convert directly into survey, update, or audit requests executed through Smart Inspect. Progress tracks against the gap until verified evidence closes it — with the full chain documented for auditors.
Absorb Regulatory Change
When rules change, impact assessments identify affected vessels and required actions automatically. The obligation registers update, stakeholders are notified, and implementation is tracked like any other compliance action.
