Solutions
Built for fleets that dispatch, maintain, and bill.
MergeMarine started in harbor towing. The same merged records work for any operator running jobs, keeping vessels in compliance, and turning work into invoices.
Harbor and ship-assist towing
Ship-assist work turns on minutes. The dispatcher needs to know where the ship is, which tugs are free, and whether a tug is already promised to the next move. Afterward, every assist has to become a log and every log an invoice under the right port's tariff.
How MergeMarine helps
- Inbound and outbound jobs saved straight to your ERP, with pilot, agent, and owner or charterer on the job
- The ship's live speed and distance from port on every job card
- A per-tug timeline and warnings when a tug is double-booked
- Docking, shifting, undocking, hourly, and dead-shift logs recorded against each job
- Lists of jobs worked but not logged, and logs not yet invoiced
Coastal, inland, and barge towing
Tows run for hours or days, often out of the office's sight. Compliance paperwork follows every vessel, and the crew filling it in may not have signal.
How MergeMarine helps
- Live AIS tracking with replay of the past 36 hours
- Alerts when a vessel enters or leaves a zone, checked on the server around the clock
- Subchapter M records for every vessel: TSMS certificates, surveys, drills, and the Towing Vessel Record
- Offline capture for readings, drills, and finished work orders, synced when crews reconnect
- Crew credentials, daily logs, and rest hours kept per mariner, with rest checked against 46 CFR 15.1111
Workboats and marine services
A mixed fleet of workboats, dredge support, and specialty vessels lives or dies on uptime. Knowing which equipment keeps failing, and what each vessel really costs to run, usually means a week in spreadsheets.
How MergeMarine helps
- Planned maintenance with work orders, checklists, meter readings, and measurement limits
- Cost of ownership by vessel, top cost drivers, and invoices without a matching work order
- Failure and downtime trends by equipment
- Maintenance schedules drafted from equipment manuals, approved by your team
- Plain-English questions across maintenance, jobs, and billing data
