Zodiac Maritime launches innovative OpenOcean CREW app

UK-based shipowner Zodiac Maritime announces the successful launch of its OpenOcean CREW app – a groundbreaking digital solution that puts essential information directly into its seafarers’ hands.

Launched earlier this year, the powerful app provides our 6,500+ global seafarers with instant access to upcoming assignment, e-tickets and essential documentation related to their employment with Zodiac Maritime. The app’s intuitive design allows users to access details of their next assignment instantly and all in one place, eliminating traditional paper-based processes and enhancing speed and efficiency.

The company says the results speak for themselves. Within the first week, over 1,400 seafarers downloaded the app, and OpenOcean CREW now has 400-500 daily active users – numbers that continue to grow steadily.

“It provides a very intuitive layout for Zodiac seafarers,” reports Third Officer Anuj Raj (pictured). “You can track your documents and certificates on the go. The reminder function for certification renewal is also an excellent feature.”

Zodiac Maritime says it believes that empowering its people with supportive technology that makes their lives easier isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s also good business. Embracing a range of technologies is essential in continuing to ensure operational excellence and maintain our position as one of the world’s leading international ship managers.

This development represents another step in Zodiac Maritime’s commitment to crew welfare and efficiency, complementing its existing initiatives that drive operational excellence.
