ISO 21745 - ELECTRONIC RECORD BOOKS FOR SHIPS

TELSCOPE electronic logbooks are type approved by DNV and certified in accordance with ISO 21745 - Electronic record books for ships. The standard was published in September 2019 and specifies the technical and operational minimum requirements for electronic logbooks for use on board ships.

The type approval certificate for TELSCOPE covers both Deck, Machine and GMDSS logbooks and the MARPOL record books.

TELSCOPE is a comprehensive solution for electronic record books, checklists and future e-navigation services. TELSCOPE electronic record books are type approved by DNV, in accordance with ISO 21745 – Electronic record books for ships, and DNV’s own class requirements. The solution is in line with SOLAS and MARPOL.

All ships that have carriage requirements for logbooks and record books may use electronic solutions for this, in line with IMO regulations. However, it is necessary to obtain additional approval, per. ship, from the flag state of the ship.

TELSCOPE electronic logbooks have already been approved by a number of flag states and more approvals are being obtained on an ongoing basis, based on customer requests.

EFFICIENT LOGGING WITH HIGHER QUALITY

TELSCOPE features easy to use, time-saving functionality for logging and signing. Accurate sensor data is retrieved for high-quality automatic and manual logging. The solution also ensures full consistancy of e.g. time and position between all record books for various observations around the same events.

An electronic logbook is more than a digitized version of the physical book. An electronic solution should simplify record keeping and signing, ensure correct guidance and provide the opportunity for effective communication during and after various events.

Observation data from the recordbooks forms an important part of the documentation in connection with incident reporting, demurrage and various insurance-related cases. The process of retrieving this data has uptil now been manual and rather time consuming.TelScope offers a simple and very time-saving solution. TelScope ship-to-shore ensures that the office always has access to all the record books. The data is easily retrieved from TelScope as automatically generated reports, or by distributing the data to other reporting systems.

REMOTE AUDITS WITH TELSCOPE SHIP-TO-SHORE

Incident investigation often reveals a significant discrepancy between the logging of various incidents and the actual course of events. With TELSCOPE far more accurate and correct recording of observations is achieved, with full agreement across the various log books. This can be decisive for the analysis of a sequence of events leading to good conclusions and relevant corrective measures.
