Getting Started

This guide covers installing SeaLog and setting up your own crew identity — whether you're joining a vessel that already runs SeaLog, or trying it out on your own.

1. Install the app

SeaLog is currently in closed testing, distributed as a direct install link rather than through the App Store or Play Store. If you're part of the early access group, you'll receive an install link — open it on your Android device and follow the prompts to install.

2. Create your Crew Card

Your Crew Card is your identity inside SeaLog — your name, rank, department and photo. There are two ways to get one:

• Joining a managed vessel: your vessel's admin issues a QR code from their Master Terminal. Open SeaLog, go to Settings → My Crew Card, and scan it.
• Trying SeaLog on your own: from the Home screen's empty state, tap to create your own card — just a name and photo, no vessel required.

3. Find your way around

The Home screen is your crew dashboard — tap your crew card to open My Dashboard, a single feed of what needs your attention: certificates approaching expiry, an upcoming exam, your roster status, and any tax deadlines.

From Home you can also reach:

• Documents — your certificates, with expiry tracking
• Work / Rest Hours — your MLC/STCW rest record
• Expenses — submit a receipt for approval
• Exam Tracker — track an upcoming MCA oral exam

4. Everything works offline

You don't need a connection to use SeaLog day to day. If your device has been linked to a vessel's sync server (via Settings → Sync Server), your roster and certificate data will update automatically whenever you do have a connection — nothing is lost by being offline in between.
