The drill cadence an inspection expects, on schedule.
Required drills run on a cadence — weekly fire and abandon-ship on many passenger vessels, monthly and quarterly on others — and a missed cycle is a finding. Binnacle schedules each drill type to its regulatory interval, logs completion with participants and deficiencies, and flags anything overdue.
The muster list stays current with the crew roster, and the lifesaving and firefighting equipment inventory carries its monthly inspections — the documents a 46 CFR 199 boarding asks to see, already in order.

Questions
Does it know each drill's required frequency?
Yes. Each drill type carries a regulatory interval — weekly, monthly, or quarterly per 46 CFR 199/185 — and the system flags a vessel when a required drill is overdue.
What gets logged for a drill?
Date, type, participants, scenario, any deficiencies, and corrective actions — the record an inspector or your SMS expects.
Is the equipment inventory inspection-ready?
The LSA/FFE inventory tracks each item with its monthly inspection so the list lines up with the Certificate of Inspection.
