The vessel's memory.
They run the boat. We keep the book.
Crew change is when memory dies. Ship's Log keeps what happened on the vessel so the next chief is not starting from zero.
AI proposes. You approve. No evidence, no record. Memory stays with the vessel.
After crew change, the next watch still has the book.
You say what you did, standing next to the thing you did it to.
AI proposes. You approve. Nothing is written into history until a human says so.
Memory stays with the vessel, not with whichever captain is signed on.
Ask the Log.
The job was said once, at the pump. Six months later a different engineer asks. The Log names the entry, the date, and who wrote it. That person is no longer aboard.
A group chat is a conversation. The Log is a record.
Capture. Approve. Ask. Handover.
Real product screens. Human approval is explicit. No silent writes.
01
Capture
Photograph it. Then talk or type, standing next to the job.
02
Approve
AI drafts. Nothing is in the log until a human says so.
03
Ask
Later crew ask the vessel. The Log returns the dated entry and evidence.
04
Handover
What the last team knew, still dated. Handover without amnesia.
If there is no record
Nita, the vessel's memory assistant, only answers from evidence.
Ask
Has the starboard watermaker high-pressure pump been rebuilt this season?
Answer
No record found for a starboard watermaker high-pressure pump rebuild this season.
No evidence, no record. She does not invent a log line to fill the gap.
What the last team knew, still dated.
Handover without amnesia. The relief does not inherit a folder and a shrug.
We are not a boat OS. We do not replace a PMS. We keep the vessel's memory so your planned maintenance still has a living book beside it.
History only moves when a human signs it.
- AI can draft. AI cannot silently write the log. Approval is human.
- No evidence means no record. The assistant does not invent a line to sound complete.
- Memory stays with the vessel across crew change, not in a personal chat archive that leaves with the last watch.

Same record on a different watch
- Captain
- What the last team knew is still dated and named. You are not inheriting a folder. Crew change is when memory dies, unless the vessel kept the book.
- Chief Engineer
- The job, the spare, the time. Said at the pump. The next person can find Entry #4207 without asking around the dock.
- Rotational / Relief
- You were not here. The Log was. Ask it. If there is no entry, it tells you.
Engineering first. Captain-run boats, about thirty to sixty metres. Deck, interior, galley, and the whole vessel come later on the same memory.
