The template is brilliant and exactly what we needed. Two days later a hard folio arrived in the post (which is probably mentioned on the product description but I didn’t notice as was focused on the SMS)… the folio is brilliantly setup to keep the required documentation on the vessel… in short I am delighted with the total product! Totally recommend it!
Excellent communication and support with product. Would recommend to other commercial operators in the US.
Ocean Marine’s SMS template took the stress and time out of my daunting task ahead i can honestly say they deliver a professional service and great support i would recommend there product 100%
With fishing becoming the easy part and keeping up with all the required paper work becoming the hard part, it is good to have people like the team at Oceantime marine who help provide you with the right documentation and assistance you require to develop a SMS for your fishing operation . They also are easy to contact if you have any troubles understanding or writing the SMS . I am very pleased with the SMS I have now and the logbook which is provided and tailored to your operation is a bonus .
I purchased this a week ago, it took me about 2 hours to complete. It’s contains all the 12 elements and complies with the AMSA Part E. I added about 6 of the procedures and downloaded the risk assessment as well as the flip charts and the log book page. I needed a SMS to comply for my commercial fishing and fishing charter business, and this has saved me a heap of time and money. I’d definitely recommend it if you don’t have the time or the knowledge to write it.
all my 3 snapper vessels and 4 long line vessels have SMS thanks to you guys.
This is something that I would definitely recommend to other schools.
The SMS software form Ocean Time Marine is extremely user friendly and comprehensive saving me valuable hours. The ability to change and insert vessel specific procedures makes it adaptable to any vessel. The team at Ocean Time Marine have been very helpful and provide on going support for the product. Thanks for your help,
Have you ever tried to sit down and read 93 pages of regulation from your local governing authority. It was frustrating to no end and would result in stress and tiredness. First of all I would like to thank you for your SMS template which was an essential piece of equipment for Mustique. Prior to your template I procrastinated for many months and put in many hours of non-productive time trying to put together a simple SMS for Mustique.I was hesitant at first but your template was an easy step by step guidance to me achieving an appropriate SMS for this vessel in a short period of time.There were times I needed some personal guidance and you been available by phone was essential. Your follow ups by emails and phone and text assured me that I was on track.The cost of your product was fair considering I had spent thrice that on wasted time trying to develop my own. I would recommend it to any persons putting together an SMS for their vessel.I was impressed by the custom made Ships Log Book which came in a binder. Up until then I used a dairy for a ships log.Also thank you for the assistance with the Risk Assessment profiles they also appear to be easier to use than what I have previously come across. Regards Karl Green
Rather than have a management company develop a safety management system, we decided to take control of our own safety and use the ocean time marine SMS software, not only was it simple and easy to use, it has become a very useful document on board. We make use of the checklists and permits to work on the iPad and no longer pay fees to a management company for a document we don’t control.
Being based in South Africa, many of our systems are a little archaic, having the Ocean Time Marine SMS is incredibly helpful & beneficial to running a successful fleet safely. Since working with the team there, they have worked continuously to keep me updated & allow the software to provide what is required here. The team is extremely helpful, the software is a great asset to our company and to maintaining a current log for all activity pertaining our vessel. Ash.
