The End of Paper Chaos
Manual rest hour logs are a source of risk and inefficiency. The authorities know it, and you feel it every day. It's a system prone to:
-
Fictitious entries
that hide real compliance issues and create false security.
-
Manual calculation errors
that lead to costly and unintentional violations.
-
Hours of administrative work
that divert focus from safe and efficient vessel operation.

About the Name
MarRest /ˈmɑːr.rɛst/
Proper noun
Etymology: From mar (“sea, maritime”) + rest (“pause, sleep, recovery”). Formed to represent the balance between maritime operations and required rest periods under international regulations (e.g., STCW).
Meaning: A digital system for managing and monitoring crew work and rest hours on maritime vessels. By extension, a framework for ensuring compliance, transparency, and wellbeing in seagoing operations.
Built by Captains, for the Maritime World
MarRest is not another IT project from a team that has never stood a midnight watch. We are two captains with years of experience on deck. We have felt the frustration of paperwork and the weight of responsibility for our crew's safety.
Born out of real-world operations in the Norwegian passenger vessel industry, MarRest stands for a modern, digital approach to responsible maritime management — rest at sea, done right.

What Captains Say About MarRest
Captain
I have been using the Marrest program alongside Deputy for the last few months. I must say that I am very happy with Marrest. It is easy to use and has many possibilities to monitor work and rest hour registration, not only for me but for the entire crew, where I as captain can change and reconcile registrations if they do not match the actual working hours. This I can do every day, weekly, or as I like.
When it comes to reporting rest hour registration, this is just great. I get an overview of the entire crew and can print out for each one with just one click. Just simple and great to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MarRest?
MarRest is a digital logbook designed specifically for the maritime industry. It replaces traditional paper-based work and rest hour logs with a proactive, real-time system that helps crews maintain compliance with STCW, MLC 2006, and Norwegian Maritime Authority requirements.
Who is MarRest built for?
MarRest is built for vessel operators, ship owners, and maritime companies who need to manage crew work and rest hours. It was created by two experienced captains from the Norwegian passenger vessel industry who understand the real challenges of compliance at sea.
Which regulations does MarRest comply with?
MarRest is designed for full compliance with the Norwegian Maritime Authority (Sjøfartsdirektoratet) regulations, the STCW Convention (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping), and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006.
How does MarRest prevent rest hour violations?
MarRest calculates rest compliance in real-time and provides pre-emptive alerts before shifts are scheduled, allowing captains to avoid breaches before they occur. It predicts violations rather than just recording them retroactively.
How does the system handle crew working across multiple vessels?
MarRest automatically tracks crew rest hours and fatigue risk across your entire fleet. If a crew member shifts to a new vessel or swaps a shift, the system instantly accounts for their previous hours, varying start times, and rotation to guarantee compliance before they even step on board.
