Certificate and Survey Tracking Software for Marine Every Expiry Across Class, Flag and Statutory, Fleet-Wide
Custom certificate and survey tracking software for UAE operators whose certificates and surveys are spread across class society portals, flag systems and onboard files. Built to hold every expiry - class, flag and statutory certificates such as SOLAS and MARPOL, plus crew certificates - in one fleet-wide tracker with alerts ahead, so an expired certificate never becomes a PSC deficiency or a stopped ship. Designed to sit alongside the issuing bodies' systems, consolidating the expiries into one view rather than replacing the portals.
Why an expiry creeps up unseen
A vessel carries class certificates, flag and statutory certificates - SOLAS safety certificates, MARPOL IOPP, MLC - and crew certificates, each with its own expiry and each living in a different place. An expired certificate is a port state control deficiency and can lead to detention, so without one fleet-wide tracker an expiry creeps up unseen until it is a problem at the gangway.
Expiries creep up unseen
Dozens of certificates per vessel, each with its own date, mean an expiry is missed when tracked in spreadsheets, so a certificate lapses and is found at an inspection rather than renewed ahead.
Certificates are spread across bodies
Class certificates sit in society portals, statutory and flag certificates with the flag and onboard, crew certificates with crewing - so there is no single place that shows every expiry across the fleet.
A lapse is a deficiency
An expired certificate is a PSC deficiency and can lead to detention, so a missed expiry is the difference between a clean inspection and a stopped ship - a high cost for a tracking failure.
No fleet-wide view
Without one tracker, a manager cannot see at a glance which certificates and surveys are due across the fleet in the next month, so planning renewals is reactive.
Every expiry in one fleet-wide tracker
Four capability areas designed around tracking every certificate and survey expiry across a UAE fleet.
Fleet-wide certificate register
Every certificate - class, flag, statutory and crew - held per vessel with its expiry, so the whole fleet's certificates are in one register rather than spread across portals, flag systems and onboard files.
Expiry alerts ahead
Each expiry alerted well ahead, so a renewal is actioned in time rather than found at an inspection. The tracker watches the dates so the office does not have to.
Class, flag and statutory together
Class certificates, flag and statutory certificates such as SOLAS and MARPOL, and crew certificates tracked together, so the whole compliance picture is in one place across the issuing bodies.
Consolidated fleet view
A fleet-wide view of what is due in the next period, connecting to class and flag systems where possible, so renewals are planned across the fleet rather than chased per vessel.
Certificates spread across portals let an expiry creep up into a deficiency. Custom software is the layer that holds every expiry in one fleet-wide tracker with alerts ahead.
How the fleet's certificates break down.
A tree shows the certificate categories. Statutory, class and crew certificates branch out per vessel, so the manager sees the structure and what is due or expired.

Talk to us about certificate and survey tracking software.
A short call surfaces whether custom certificate tracking makes sense for your fleet. Best positioned for UAE operators with certificates and surveys spread across class, flag and onboard files. Working with your technical and HSQE leads during discovery, we map how expiries are tracked today and where they creep up. If discovery shows your current process is sound, we say so. BY BANKS is an independent software engineering company: we design and build the platform and hand it over, your team operates it. Authority, regulator, classification society and product names on this page are referenced descriptively to describe interoperability and scope, and imply no affiliation, endorsement, certification, or approval.
How certificate and survey tracking software works in marine
The detail behind the headline - from the fleet-wide certificate register and expiry alerts, through class, flag and statutory together, to the consolidated fleet view.
What changes, in practical terms
Each expiry is alerted well ahead, so a renewal is actioned in time rather than discovered as a deficiency at the gangway.
The detailed questions UAE operators ask us
Expand each to see how bespoke certificate and survey tracking software actually works.
What does certificate and survey tracking software actually cover?
Who this is for: UAE operators with class, flag, statutory and crew certificates spread across several places who want one fleet-wide expiry tracker. Less suited to a single vessel where a wall planner copes.
Four connected capability areas: (1) Fleet-wide certificate register. (2) Expiry alerts ahead. (3) Class, flag and statutory together. (4) Consolidated fleet view.
How is this different from classification compliance software?
Classification compliance is the class-society depth - class surveys, the certificate of class and conditions of class with DNV, LR, ABS, BV and Tasneef. Certificate and survey tracking is the breadth - every expiry across class, flag and statutory certificates and crew, fleet-wide.
They overlap on class certificates and connect: class compliance goes deep on the society relationship, certificate tracking gives the whole expiry picture. This page is the breadth across all certificates.
How is this different from PSC readiness software?
PSC readiness is the inspection-facing layer - deficiencies, SMS records and focus areas, kept ready for an officer. Certificate tracking is the expiry register that feeds it, making sure no certificate lapses into a deficiency in the first place.
They connect: current certificates are part of PSC readiness. This page is the expiry tracker; PSC readiness is the broader inspection preparation.
Which certificates and surveys does it track?
It tracks the full set per vessel: class certificates and survey windows; statutory certificates such as the SOLAS safety certificates and MARPOL IOPP; flag certificates; the MLC certificate; and crew certificates like STCW.
The exact set is configured to your fleet and trading during discovery, so the tracker holds what your vessels actually carry rather than a generic list.
Does it replace the class and flag systems?
No. The class societies and flag administration issue and hold the certificates and remain authoritative.
The software tracks the expiries against your fleet and holds your own consolidated register, connecting to the systems where possible, so you have one view of what is due. It does not replace the issuing bodies or the obligation to renew with them.
What does this sit alongside in a typical UAE marine stack?
Certificate tracking pulls the expiries together.
Class and flag - it draws on DNV, LR, ABS, BV, Tasneef and the flag administration.
Operations - it ties to class compliance, PSC readiness and crew management for the crew certificates. Integration approach is scoped during discovery based on what you are already running, and we do not ask you to replace anything that works.
How long to go live, and what does it cost?
Discovery runs two to three weeks. Working with your technical and HSQE leads, we map how expiries are tracked today, the certificates your fleet carries, and where they creep up. Output is a report covering current-state map, gap analysis, recommended workflow, integration scope and a fixed-price build proposal.
A core build runs from discovery completion, with the register and alerts first and the consolidated fleet view after. Pricing varies by fleet size, integration scope and complexity, so a bracket is not published; discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
Can it alert the right people ahead of expiry?
An alert is only useful if it reaches the person who can act.
The software routes expiry alerts to the right role - superintendent, DPA, crewing - ahead of the date, with escalation if a renewal is not actioned, so an expiry is owned and chased rather than sitting in a report nobody reads.
How each role experiences the change
Different roles feel expiries differently. Custom software works when it reduces friction for each one.
Technical Superintendent
Every certificate and survey expiry per vessel in one register, with alerts ahead.
Planner
A fleet-wide view of what is due, so renewals are planned rather than chased.
DPA / HSQE
No certificate lapsing into a PSC deficiency, so inspections stay clean.
Crewing
Crew certificate expiries tracked alongside the vessel's, so manning stays valid.
Questions We Get Asked
Who is certificate and survey tracking software marine for?
UAE operators with class, flag, statutory and crew certificates spread across several places who want one fleet-wide expiry tracker. Less suited to a single vessel where a wall planner copes.
How is this different from classification compliance software?
Classification compliance is the class-society depth - class surveys, the certificate of class and conditions of class. Certificate and survey tracking is the breadth - every expiry across class, flag and statutory certificates and crew, fleet-wide. They overlap on class certificates but answer depth vs breadth.
How is this different from PSC readiness software?
PSC readiness is the inspection-facing layer - deficiencies, SMS records and focus areas. Certificate tracking is the expiry register that feeds it, making sure no certificate lapses into a deficiency in the first place. They connect: current certificates are part of PSC readiness.

Does it replace the class and flag systems?
No. The class societies and flag administration issue and hold the certificates and remain authoritative. The software tracks the expiries against your fleet and holds your own consolidated register, connecting where possible, so you have one view of what's due. It doesn't replace the issuing bodies.
How long does it take to build?
Discovery runs two to three weeks and produces a fixed-price build proposal. The register and alerts come first, with the consolidated fleet view after.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies by fleet size, integration scope and complexity. A bracket isn't published because the spread is wide. Discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
Can it alert the right people ahead of expiry?
Yes. It routes expiry alerts to the right role - superintendent, DPA, crewing - ahead of the date, with escalation if a renewal isn't actioned, so an expiry is owned and chased rather than sitting in a report nobody reads.
