The Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has granted type approval to the electronic record-keeping solution, WAYSHIP, developed by Volteo Maritime. This milestone marks a significant step in the indigenisation of digital record-keeping on ships in India. The adoption of electronic record books can enhance the accessibility, consistency, and management of operational records on vessels, reducing the reliance on paper documentation.
These digital records can include engine and deck logs, oil records, ballast water logs, garbage logs, and MARPOL Annex VI records. With the IRS Type Approval, WAYSHIP now serves as India's own digital foundation for ship operations, poised to contribute to the growth of the Indian maritime technology ecosystem. IRS Director of Type and Works Approval, Mr. Tapesh Ghosh, emphasized the importance of this approval in promoting the use of digital technologies in the maritime sector while ensuring adherence to safety and compliance standards.
Volteo Maritime's Founder & CEO, Mr. Surendra Lingareddy, highlighted the potential of digital records to revolutionise shipping operations by serving as the foundation for advanced technologies such as AI and APIs.
