November 2026 In March we introduced the ZeeBORN Web Dashboard: certificates, the voyage schedule and approvals for purchasing, risk assessments and drills — in any browser, without installing anything. Since then, the Web Dashboard has grown from a handful of functions into a real companion to the ZeeBORN desktop application.

October 2026 Every internal audit and inspection in ZeeBORN is built around a questionnaire. In March we described the basics — structured chapters and topics with scoring, observations created from photos, and follow-up tasks with due dates and responsible roles (read the article). Since then, the questionnaire has become considerably more capable: in how it adapts to the actual vessel, how findings are highlighted, and where it can be filled in.

July 2026 Most software demos show you someone else's world: fictional vessels, invented certificates, tidy sample data that never quite matches how your fleet actually operates. You spend the trial period translating in your head — "so where would our vessels be in this picture?"

March 2026 A busy first quarter — here's a quick look at what we've been working on. ZeeBORN in the Browser — Selected functionalities are now accessible via web browser, from any device. No installation required. Read more Safety Reports Overhaul — Faster observation capture, clearer accountability, better follow-up. Read more

March 2026 Keeping vessels safe and compliant requires more than checklists. It requires a system that connects the inspection on board with the follow-up in the office — seamlessly, transparently, and without anything falling through the cracks. That's what ZeeBORN's Safety Reports module delivers.

March 2026 We're excited to announce that selected ZeeBORN functionalities are now accessible through your web browser. No installation, no VPN, no setup. Just log in and go.

Don’t miss to add the new ZeeBORN Safety package to your management tools. Like all other ZeeBORN modules, the Safety Package helps to reduce the required workload dramatically while improving the quality of the collected information and distributing information and updates to all involved sites.

Starting with the September 2016 release of the ZeeBORN software, ZeeBORN extends it's free data migration offer to customers still using Interschalt Bluefleet and GL ShipManager. Upgrading from an established management system to a new solution is always a challenge. But circumstances like fading support and missing future development of the current system is usually the main driving factor for making a migration necessary. While the replacement of one software with another software isn't that problematic anymore, keeping all the data collected over the lifespan of a ship and company is still a problem. Quite often a system migration comes together with a certain loss of data, up to a total loss plus having to create and collect the necessary data from scratch again.

Getting a management system running is only one side of the medal. Keeping a management system running over a long time is the much bigger challenge. One of the challenges within fleet management solutions is the maintenance of the data quality within the system. Of course there are already features like user management with detailed access control for preventing users from altering data in the systems they are not supposed to touch. But even if they are allowed to change data in the system, the final result may not match the expectations.

On 19th of January 2013 a new van has been handed over to the students of our local high school in Beelitz (Sally Bein Gymnasium). This gift has been made possible by many small and medium size businesses and private persons in the area and ZeeBORN is one of the proud sponsors.
