THE CV CHECK

to send your papers over. Nobody expects that, and it shows you are organised.

A CAPTAIN WHO HIRES

A captain reads the vessel facts first, then the tickets, then three lines of profile. The CV check evaluates your page in that order and names what to fix. Captain Ready is 90 and above. Get there before you send it.

Then the call goes well and they ask for your papers. One share link puts the whole pack on their desk in five minutes, while other candidates are still searching their email. Nobody expects that, and it is the first piece of work a captain sees you do.

THE DRYING WALL

Pick a look. Change your mind in one tap.

Thirteen templates designed from what crew agencies actually publish: from the classic single-column captains expect to the boldest paper on the dock. Twenty-three colours and four typefaces on each, and every combination prints safely. Shown here filled in, because that is how you will judge them.

DOCUMENT FOLIO

Every important document on deck.

Start my folio

  1. Drop them in

    Certificates, passport, visas, medical. PDF or a photo from your phone.

  2. Dates read and filed

    Type the dates in and you see what runs out when. On Pro, SeaPapers reads the type and expiry date off each document and files it for you.

  3. Reminded before it runs out

    An email ninety days out, then thirty, then seven, then the morning it expires. Each one says what to do next. Upload the renewal and it resets.

  4. Counted toward your next ticket

    Your months at sea are counted from your vessel dates and the tickets in your folio. On the deck and engineering ladders, an email lands the day the sea time for your next ticket reads as served.

  5. One link to the boat

    Send the captain or purser a link. They see every document, what is valid and what expires, and download what they need. Revoke it any time.

Your papers sit in private storage behind your login. Share links are yours to revoke, and every open is logged.

South Africa: 156 of 184 full days outside in the current 12 months. 28 to go. 3 days unresolved.

This can still be met up to 11 Sep 2027.

Day counts come from your entries. This is not tax advice. Confirm your position with your tax practitioner.
