LadderWatch is the compliance database built by a working marine pilot. Search any vessel's deficiency history, report hazards by voice, and give your association the safety intelligence they need.
Pilot ladder transfers remain one of the most dangerous activities in maritime operations. Deficiency rates exceed 16% on inspections. Pilots board vessels blind, with no way to check if the ladder they're about to climb has a history of failures.
New SOLAS V/23 regulations take effect in 2028, but enforcement starts now. Every association needs better data. Every pilot deserves better intelligence.
Search any vessel by name or IMO number. See deficiency reports filed by pilots in your region, organized by severity and recency. Know what you're boarding before you leave the pilot boat.
Describe what you see. LadderWatch's speech-to-text identifies deficiencies and pre-selects matching codes from a SOLAS-aligned taxonomy. No clipboards, no paperwork on deck.
Log the close call the moment it happens, before the details fade. Reports route directly to your association with full context, severity classification, and vessel identification.
Filter reports by severity, date, vessel type, and class society. Manage member rosters, oversee near miss workflows, and export safety data for regulatory submissions.
LadderWatch was born in Southeast Alaska, where a working marine pilot decided that boarding a vessel shouldn't require blind trust. Every feature exists because someone needed it on the water, not because a product manager imagined it from an office.
The maritime industry is moving from paper to digital, from reactive to predictive. LadderWatch is how pilot associations get there.
