Regulatory Compliance

Maritime regulations compliance you can trust 

It is critical that your vessels have up-to-date maritime regulatory documentation on board, and that these cover all of your international maritime obligations as well as those relating to the flag state and the ship itself. Hard copies become outdated quickly, and it is important that there is easy access for crew and fleet managers.

The OneOcean digital compliance solution, known as Regs4ships, ensures all maritime regulations relevant to the vessel are available in a digital format, and that they are up-to-date, easy to search and understand. And there is a version specifically for yachts – Regs4yachts.

Always available means always compliant at sea

Only Regs4ships offers the Compliance Index – which means those on board are provided with exactly the regulations they require from our dedicated servers. Separately those onshore have access to all regulations.

Unlike purely browser-based solutions, our stable OneOcean Platform ensures there will always be an updated copy of the essential maritime regulations on the hard drive on the ship, even when offline. This provides peace of mind and ensures your fleet avoids fines for not being compliant. 

And the Platform provides a consolidated view of the regulatory information alongside other navigation services, which means everything is in one place to plan the voyage in a compliant way.

The team behind the compliance software

You can be confident that the data being used is compiled by the biggest, most experienced team in the maritime industry, led by an ex-mariner who understands the regulations. This experience is used to connect different but related regulations, which means your team can view the full picture on any issue and so make fully informed decisions.
