Logbook: Introduction to Manifest

The Logbook module lets you track and manage external people who come aboard your vessels, such as customers, vendors, contractors, and other non-crew individuals. With the Manifest feature, you can:

• Track passenger arrivals and departures with detailed boarding records
• Record daily activities and services you provide, such as meals and accommodations
• Store identification documents for compliance and safety
• Generate reports for billing, regulatory compliance, or operational tracking
• Customize what you track based on your vessel types and operational needs
