Ship particulars, flag, class and P&I contacts, and every CSR in order

4 Nov 2026

A pilot was filling in two forms for a Zanzibar-flagged ship in two days: an application for a new Continuous Synopsis Record and an application for change of ship particulars. Both ask for the same things in a different order: official number, port of registry, date of registration, the owner and the ISM company with their addresses and IMO Company Numbers, the class society, who issued the DOC, the SMC and the ISSC. Half of it was already in SuperRonin. The other half was on paper, and the addresses had to be selected by mouse, line by line. The pilot asked for all of it in one place, ready to paste.

Copy in one click. Every filled value on the vessel card and in the company directory now has a small copy button next to its label. A registered address is copied whole, line breaks included. Copy all under a company takes every filled line at once, labelled, for a mail or a form. Numbers are copied without the thousands separator, so 29,800 on screen pastes as 29800.

Ship particulars. A new fold on the vessel card holds what the Certificate of Registry prints:

  • Registry: official number, call sign, port of registry, date of registration, how long a provisional registration runs, former names and flags, ownership shares, mortgages.
  • Build: type as registered, date of build, shipbuilder and place, hull number and material.
  • Tonnage and dimensions: net tonnage, deadweight, registered length, breadth, depth, summer draught.
  • Machinery: main engines, propulsion power in kW, propellers, service speed.
  • Class and P&I: the vessel's class ID number and notation, the P&I Certificate of Entry number. There's also a field for Inmarsat and other numbers.

Everything is optional. Empty lines don't show, and the fold header says how many are filled. Dates come out as yyyy/mm/dd, the format flag forms ask for.

Flag, class, P&I and bareboat charterer in the directory. Companies now has a section per role, each headed in the singular: Shipowner, ISM Company, Bareboat charterer, Flag administration, Class society, P&I club. A company that owns and manages its own ship shows under both Shipowner and ISM Company, and the DPA lines show only under ISM Company. The flag administration, class society and P&I club you type on the vessel's title page land in Companies by themselves, under that name. Open one there and add the registered address, the office that handles your fleet, the contact person with email and phone, and a 24-hour emergency number. A P&I club also has its managers. The names on the title page still pick the circular feeds.

Bareboat charterer is the third company role on a vessel, next to the shipowner and the ISM company. Most ships have none, and the card says so.

CSRs in Certificates, by number. A Continuous Synopsis Record now takes three fields: its document number, the date it applies from and the date it was issued. The list shows the current CSR with its number, for example "Continuous Synopsis Record No. 19". A small "All 19" button under it opens every CSR of that ship by number, newest first, the way you'd lay them out in a folder, and any number with no document is marked missing, so you know what to chase before the flag issues the next one. "Add CSR No. 20" starts the next one with the number filled in. Print and CSV export carry the current CSR only. The CSR sheet that sat on the vessel card on 4 November is gone: pilots told us the number and the two dates are what they track.

Open the made-up tanker in the live demo to see its particulars on the vessel card and its CSR series, with one number missing, under Certificates, or read how the shipowner and ISM company work.
