Hours of Rest

Hours of Rest records each crew member's day on a half-hour grid and checks it against the MLC rest rules as you go. The month is signed by the seafarer and the master and saved as a PDF.

Just ask the AI Assistant

  • Noah Marlow worked 06:00–12:00 and 14:00–19:00 today.
  • Who on M/Y Ball hasn't recorded their hours of rest this month?
  • Did anyone drop below 77 hours in the last 7 days?

Anything it would change comes back as a card first. Nothing is saved until you press Approve.

Why it matters

Rest-hour records are checked at inspection and are easy to get wrong by hand. The rules are checked on every entry, so problems show before the month is signed.
