Your career. Kept safe.Encrypted & private
One secure vault

Every document you sail with, in one place

Your papers come from flag states, academies, clinics and crewing agencies — and each expires on its own date. eSea keeps the whole stack together and watches every deadline for you.

  • Seaman’s book (SIRB / CDC)

    Your sea-service record and identity as a seafarer — the document every crewing agency and port asks for first.

  • Certificate of Competency & endorsements

    Your CoC, CoP and flag-state endorsements that prove your rank and the ships you’re cleared to sail.

  • STCW certificates

    Basic safety training and all your advanced STCW courses — each with its own renewal date to stay ahead of.

  • Seafarer medical (ENG1 / equivalent)

    Your medical fitness certificate, usually valid two years, kept right beside the papers it’s checked against.

  • GMDSS, proficiency & training records

    Radio, survival-craft, tanker and other proficiency certificates that build up across your career.

  • Passport & visas

    The travel documents you need to join a ship abroad — never left at home when you fly out to crew change.

How it works

Less paperwork, more time at sea

Your whole wallet in one place

Scan each certificate once. eSea stores them encrypted and sorted by type, so your entire document stack is a tap away.

Never miss an expiry again

eSea reads the expiry date on each certificate and reminds you at 90, 30 and 7 days, so a lapsed document never costs you a contract.
