Ask any experienced seafarer how much of their life they have spent at sea, and most will pause — then guess. The contracts blur together: that bulk carrier in 2019, the tanker after, the months that felt like years and the years that felt like months. Your sea time deserves better than a guess.

See your sea time clearly

The Sea Service Tracker in SMART SEAMEN keeps a complete record of your career at sea. Log each contract — the ship, your rank, sign-on and sign-off dates — and it totals everything for you: total days at sea, broken down by vessel and by rank. One glance shows you exactly how much of your life has been spent on the water.

More than a number

  • For your career — CoC examinations and promotions require documented sea service. Your tracked record backs up your discharge book and is ready whenever an application asks.
  • For your story — there is something powerful about seeing "1,247 days at sea" or "6 years, 4 months on board." It turns scattered contracts into a career you can see.
  • For your planning — watch your sea time grow contract by contract, and know exactly where you stand toward your next certificate or goal.
Practical tip

Log each contract the day you sign off, while the dates are fresh. Reconstructing years of sea service from memory later is exactly the chore the tracker exists to prevent.

Track your sea service and see your time at sea with SMART SEAMEN — get started.
