Exam-ready safety for the fishing fleet.
Commercial fishing safety rests on the survival gear working and the crew knowing the drills — and the dockside exam checks exactly that. Binnacle schedules the 46 CFR 28 drills, keeps the immersion-suit and survival-equipment inventory with its checks, and tracks the documented sea service crew build over a season.
It is the difference between scrambling before a dockside exam and walking up with the record already complete.

Questions
Does it prepare me for a dockside exam?
Yes. The drill log, the survival-equipment inventory with its inspections, and the crew records line up with what a commercial fishing vessel dockside exam reviews.
Can it track sea service for the crew?
Documented sea time accrues per crew member toward licenses and endorsements.
