133 NAPA Checklist replaces paper and static PDF checklists with guided, automated workflows “ With NAPA Checklist, the report becomes a by-product of doing the job rather than a task to complete after it” guides the crew through each procedure in the correct order with the current approved checklist built into the task. Every action is recorded, time-stamped and attributed as the work happens. With NAPA Checklist, the report becomes a by-product of doing the job rather than a task to complete after it. It is most beneficial for new officers, because the system carries the standard instead of assuming the person already knows it. The gain compounds when the record is connected. Completed checklists flow into NAPA Logbook and the shoreside NAPA Fleet Intelligence platform, removing a second round of data entry. Shore teams can see checklist status across a fleet in real time without calling the ship, and time-stamped, named records are ready for class and Port State Control on request. The real test for maritime software is whether it is adopted by the crew – tools that are quietly abandoned fail regardless of how capable they are. NAPA Checklist has been developed with help from officers and crew from leading cruise and expedition companies, and is already being used by four operators, one of which has run it onboard for over a year. HX Expeditions co-developed the product and is rolling it out across its expedition fleet. “Operating in remote environments requires a balance of consistency and practical flexibility,” says Vsevolod Pashkov, maritime compliance manager and company security officer at HX Expeditions. “We co-developed NAPA Checklist because we wanted a tool built around how our crews actually work. We expect it to bring greater consistency and efficiency to daily operations onboard, reduce duplicate admin, and improve real-time information flow between ship and shore.” Alongside NAPA Permit to Work, NAPA Checklist represents a shift in approach, away from adding new systems and towards simplifying the SMS itself. The SMS exists to make ships safer, but when it becomes a paperwork exercise, it starts to work against the crew it was built to protect. Guided workflows reverse that, putting the procedure back into the task and taking the paperwork out of the way. That is where the next decade of operational safety will be won, one guided task at a time.
