Everything the ship needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Choose the modules you need per ship – and switch more on later.

Maintenance

Planned maintenance per area and engine – by days, months or running hours. "Do now" and "Soon", one tap to sign off, and the history stays with the ship.

Safety

Drill plan, monthly safety checklist and cabin inspections with due dates. Near misses reported in seconds, with statistics per place and hazard.

Crew

Rosters and rotations, day sheets with hours and rest, and a warning before a medical or certificate expires. Move crew between ships in one step.

Certificates

All ship certificates with expiry dates, warnings in time, the scanned document attached and the paper folder it is kept in.

Hotel & HACCP

Fridge and freezer checks on a phone, cooling down, cleaning plan, the 14 allergens per dish, forms with signature and a monthly HACCP report.

Repair book

Reception or the hotel manager reports a repair – the engineer sees it at once, keeps everyone informed and orders the parts.

Inventory

Spare parts per store and group, minimum stock, order lists per supplier and parts used straight from a maintenance task.

Voyage planning

Calls, berths and services per ship. Approved partners such as caterers can view the planning without an account.

Cruise report

Passengers, ports, waste, water, fuel and incidents per cruise – with an analysis per person per night and per package.

For the crew

Open it and see what needs doing today

Every crew member starts with one list: what to do now and what is coming soon – from every module together, each with the button that does it.

  • Sign off a task, record a drill or check the safety list in one tap
  • Running hours, temperatures and day sheets on a phone
  • Report a problem or a near miss with a photo, in seconds

For safety

See where things almost go wrong

Near misses are reported by hazard and by place. RiverBase shows where on board things go wrong most – so you can act before something happens.

  • Drill plan with reports and participants
  • Monthly safety checklist and cabin inspections
  • Statistics and PDF for the office and the inspector
Near miss statistics per hazard and place

For the office

Know what every guest means in waste, water and fuel

The cruise report counts the waste per port and the tank levels. RiverBase turns that into figures per person per night – per cruise, per client and per package.

  • Compare à la carte with drinks packages and all-inclusive
  • Spot cruises that use far more than average
  • Export to PDF and Excel
Waste per person per night by package

Built on board, for on board

Hi, I am Wouter.

I was a captain on tankers. Since 2023 I sail river cruise ships, and I also supervise the building of new passenger ships.

On every ship I had the same question: where is everything? Maintenance in Excel, certificates in a binder, repairs in a WhatsApp group. RiverBase is my answer – and I set it up with you, on your ship.

Questions

Does it work without internet on board?

Yes. RiverBase keeps a copy on the device. The crew keeps working without signal; everything is sent automatically as soon as there is internet again.

Do we need to install anything?

No. RiverBase runs in the browser and can be installed as an app on phones, tablets and computers in a few taps.

Can we bring our existing lists?

Yes. Maintenance tasks, spare parts, safety equipment and drills can be imported from Excel. We help you with the first import.

Who sees what?

Every person gets the rights of their job: a deckhand sees their own roster and documents, the chef the galley, the office the whole fleet. You can change rights per role and per person.

Where is our data kept?

On secure servers in London, run by Supabase on Amazon Web Services. All traffic is encrypted, every company only sees its own data, and there is an extra backup every week.

Is RiverBase GDPR compliant?

We only store what is needed to run the ship: names, roles, crew documents and work records. You decide who sees what. We never sell or share your data, and personal data is removed on request. A data processing agreement is available on request.

Can we leave and take our data with us?

Yes. One button exports everything: Excel files plus all photos and documents in one zip file. When you stop, we delete your data on request.

What happens when the internet drops?

Nothing is lost. Everything you do is kept on the phone or computer and sent by itself when there is signal again. The screen shows when something is still waiting to be sent.

Is RiverBase a subscription?

No. You choose an annual licence (one invoice per year) or a one-off licence with a small yearly service contract for updates, hosting and support. In RiverBase you always see until when your licence or service contract runs.

How long does it take to set up?

Usually a few days. You send the lists you already have, I set up the ship with you, and we go through it together on board or in a video call. Most ships start with maintenance and certificates and add the rest later.

Can partners like our caterer see the planning?

Yes. You can approve external planners by e-mail: they see the voyage planning of your ships, nothing else.
