Vetting
SIRE 2.0: what actually draws observations
Across the question library, the same pattern repeats: the inspector interviews the officer doing the job, not the master. Every operational question ends with records plus a crew interview.

PSC
PSC focus: things inspectors test live
ECDIS manual update on the spot, VDR save procedure, BNWAS on DC power, emergency fire pump under load, OWS 15 ppm alarm — inspectors increasingly ask the officer to demonstrate, not just show papers.

CLEAR ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOARD
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about offline access, device privacy, and subscriptions.
Q.Why is it called Shark?
Because at sea you are either the prey or the hunter. Inspections, paperwork, endless checks — Shark keeps you sharp across your whole life aboard, so you meet every inspection as the hunter, not the prey. Don't be the prey. Be the shark.
Q.Is Shark only for inspections?
No. Inspection readiness is the flagship, but Shark covers daily work checklists, navigation tools, store requests, crew accounts, menus, career documents and life aboard — one offline-first workspace per contract.
Q.Does the app work offline at sea?
Yes. Check cards, checklists, notes, requests, menus and to-dos are stored on your device (IndexedDB) and work without internet. Market rates, weather and maps need a connection once, then show cached data.
Q.How do contracts and archives work?
Each vessel gets its own contract with separate progress, notes and lists. Ending a contract archives it with the sign-off date — open View archive any time, or Reactivate it.
Q.What is the 60-day GIBS rule?
Upload joining ordino + contract within 60 days of sign-on, and sign-off ordino + service letter within 60 days of sign-off. Dashboard counters track both deadlines and turn red in the last 5 days.
