Our Expertise

Built by Working Mariners

FleetSkipper was founded by a Master Mariner and Marine Pilot with over 20 years of maritime experience, trained in ISM, MLC, and ISPS auditing. We understand the real-world challenges of vessel operations and compliance because we've lived them.

    Extensive seagoing and harbour operations experience

  • Marine Pilot

    Master Mariner and Marine Pilot — the operational experience is real

  • ISM / MLC / ISPS Audit-Trained

    WBC3's SMS is a lighter version of the ISM Code — the audit discipline transfers directly

    Solutions shaped by what actually happens on vessels, not just what the regulations say

Our Mission

To make WBC3 compliance simple and accessible for workboat operators. Safety management shouldn't take you away from what you do best - operating your vessel.

"We've lived the challenges that workboat operators face every day. Complex regulations, limited time, and the pressure to keep vessels operational while staying compliant. FleetSkipper exists to handle the paperwork so you can focus on safe operations."
