Kaiko Systems launches digital tool for shore-based vessel inspections

Kaiko Systems has introduced Shore Reports, a digital inspection platform for superintendents and vessel managers aimed at replacing manual reporting processes with a mobile-first system.

Shore Reports allows inspectors to complete visits using an app that works online and offline rather than relying on handwritten notes, photos, spreadsheets and Word documents. The data collected automatically compiled into a structured report once the inspection is finished.

Reports can be reviewed and finalised through a web-based dashboard, producing a PDF with structured observations and photo documentation. The system also connects via API to maintenance and procurement platforms for faster follow-up on critical issues.

“Shore team inspections have been overlooked for too long within the digital services sector” said Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder and CEO of Kaiko Systems.

“We worked closely with superintendents to design Shore Reports around how inspections are conducted and how a digital product can make the job easier. This is not about re-inventing workflows, but about giving teams a tool that fits the job they are doing and helps them work faster, smarter, and with better visibility.”

The software supports superintendent visits, dry dock inspections, internal ISM and environmental audits, and reviews of navigation and cargo operations. Forms can be tailored to vessel type, inspection category or company requirements to maintain consistency across fleets.
