Start using the TRIP feature

Customers on the Pro-Plan only

Only users assigned a role with the relevant permission settings are able to log a trip.

The Trip feature is the key feature of the OffshoreSMS platform.

Every trip should be recorded in the on the app, and all activities that occur during that trip should be attributed to the trip.

Recording a trip

The easiest way is to complete a "New Start Up log":

From the assets home page, select "Manage Trips", then "Start a New Trip". If the asset has the Pro trips feature enabled, you should then select "Full Startup log". In both case you will land on the start-up log screen.

From here you should:

  1. Complete the checklist,

  2. select the crew and nominate a person in charge,

  3. set your departure and expected return date/time (optional),

  4. complete any custom fields (if set up),

  5. tag or name the trip, or select form the saved tags,

  6. add any other information and

  7. update the P&E table (plant hours and fuel levels). (TIP: Click the orange Fill icon to record your tanks as FULL).

  8. Click "Start Trip"!

Recording events during an active trip:

  1. From the asset's home page, select "Manage Trips" then "Active trip" (or select Manage Active trip at the top of the asset's home page).

  2. Select "Log an Activity" and choose from the list of options.

  3. If you can't see an option that's applicable, we recommend using the Ship's Log, or creating your own Custom Forms.

Finish a trip

  1. From the asset's home page, select "Manage Trips" then "Active trip" (or select Manage Active trip at the top of the asset's home page).

  2. Select "Finish Trip" the select "Full Shutdown Log".

  3. Complete the shut down log and click "Finish Trip"

  4. The trip is no longer active.

NOTE: You can still add logs to a trip that is no longer active:

From the Manage trips screen, select "Past trips", choose the relevant trip, then "Log an Activity" as before.

The log will be added to the timeline for the trip.
