Live Fleet Intelligence
Every vessel.
Exactly where they are.
Live position, heading, speed, and crew status for every vessel in your fleet — credential expiration, watch schedules, and collision-risk awareness overlaid in real time, with every event written to a class-society-ready audit log. Works for transponder-equipped vessels; smaller boats can broadcast from an iPad mounted at the helm.

Under the hood
Real depth, no marketing inflation.

The product
Built like a native app.
Runs in your browser.
Two dozen modules covering the full operator workload — crew, compliance, voyages, MARPOL, ballast, bilge, surveys, parts, POs, and more. Every screen below is real, shipping today.
Feature 01
Compliance, without the clipboard.
One score. One view. The status of every crew member, every credential, every vessel.
Feature 02
Plan voyages in minutes.
Route, fuel budget, crew assignments, manifest. Everything a voyage needs in one form.
Feature 03
Credentials parsed by AI.
Drag in a PDF. Claude Vision reads the document and fills every field — number, issuer, expiration.
Feature 04
Regulations watched for you.
We ingest the Federal Register daily. When USCG touches a rule that affects your fleet, you get a note.
Built for operators
Two dozen modules.
One login.
From crew credentials to bilge logs, drills to MARPOL, work-rest to spare parts. The entire operator workload, one platform — and we ship a new module every week.
Planned Maintenance · OEM Auto-Pilot
The schedule writes itself.
You just turn the wrench.
Most fleets still type maintenance schedules into spreadsheets — then forget to update them when the engine's actual hours roll. Binnacle ships an OEM library with every interval pre-loaded, watches your engine readings for drift, and lets you import any other manual with a PDF upload.
Pick your engine. Schedule materializes.
Type Cat 3508B and 11 maintenance tasks anchor to your engine's running hours. Cat 3406B, 3512C, Cummins KTA19-M, KTA38-M, Northern Lights M673L2 in v1 — every task carries a citation back to the OEM manual.
Class-society overlays, opt-in.
Layer ABS Subchapter M, AWO RCP, or USCG COI maintenance items on top of the OEM schedule. 14 audit-ready inspection tasks per pack, mapped to 46 CFR §138/140/142 + ABS Steel Vessel Rules.
Drift detection from your readings.
Oil pressure trending down 12% over the last 30 hours? We catch it from your routine MechanicalLog readings and recommend pulling the oil sample 200 hours earlier than the calendar interval.
Any other manual: just upload the PDF.
Yanmar 6CHE3? MAN D2876? Wärtsilä 4-stroke? Upload the maintenance-intervals chapter and Claude extracts the table — task names, intervals, citations — into the platform-wide library. Review, save, link.

Why operators are switching from spreadsheets and enterprise tools
Binnacle is purpose-built for US commercial fleet operators — from 2 vessels to 200. Same compliance breadth as the enterprise tools, no enterprise sales gauntlet.
Comparison reflects publicly-available info as of 2026-04. We don't name specific competitors here because feature coverage changes; verify with any vendor before signing.

IEC 62388 ARPA Bridge Radar
Target trails, guard zones, RM-T / RM-R toggle, auto-acquisition. Bridge-grade radar built to the spec — not a fleet-tracker dressed up.
Voice Bridge Interface
The bridge talks to the system instead of typing through it. Log events, query crew status, draft notices — hands stay on the wheel.
Port-Captain Prompts
Draft transit plans, pre-arrival notices, and port-call paperwork from a single prompt. Reviewed by a human, signed off by you.
Claude Vision Document Classification
Upload any credential. We extract every field — number, issue date, expiration, issuing authority — and route it to the right mariner.
CFR 46 Regulatory Engine
We model the regulations. Tell us your vessel type, route, and gross tonnage — and get the exact crew and credentials you need to operate.
Federal Register Monitoring
The moment a USCG rule changes that affects your fleet, you'll know. No newsletters. No missed bulletins. No surprises.
Pricing
Built for your fleet. Priced for your fleet.
