Vessel compliance records
Certificates, inspections, logbooks and crew records in one place.
- A digital archive for certificates, with safety inspection alerts.
- H&S reporting with risk registers, digital forms and checklists, and a customisable digital logbook.
- Crew management, maintenance tracking and reporting across the fleet. Sea Flux now serves over 1,700 vessels across New Zealand, Australia and internationally.
Orchid designed and built Sea Flux from the ground up, and it has gone on to raise millions in investment. Read the NZ Herald story.
Fleet and vessel monitoring
See every vessel's performance live, from anywhere in the world.
- Live monitoring and alerts, predictive maintenance, historical route and performance tracking, and environmental and efficiency insights.
- Multi-vessel and multi-screen support, with telemetry streamed from onboard systems for remote diagnostics.
- Built for ferries, aquaculture, search and rescue, offshore and wind farm support. Orchid designed and built the web app and iOS/Android apps on HamiltonJet's existing backend platform.
Bridge displays for captains
The numbers a captain needs, readable at a glance in any light.
- Live speed, motor RPM, range, efficiency and state of charge, with actual versus planned performance and predicted arrival times and charge at key waypoints.
- Daily routes and charging slots, schedule uploads by USB, and a button that sets the best charging times automatically.
- Quick, touch-friendly passenger logging to meet legal requirements, and a day/night mode for the bridge-mounted display.
