Zone findings that become PMS work — not notebook notes
90-day overdue visibility and COSWP-sectioned evidence trail for every space.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Paper zone rounds do not become work orders. Findings die in a notebook while the 90-day cycle quietly goes overdue.
The traditional approach
Round sheets are completed manually; defects are re-typed into a separate defect log. Shore cannot see which zones are outside the three-month cycle.
Monday with WaterTight
What changes when this is under control
Run digital zone inspections with ok / fail / na checklists, COSWP-sectioned findings, photo evidence, and assigned rectification that appears as work in PMS—including offline mobile queues that sync on reconnect.
Time back
Mobile rounds with queued sync and assigned rectification replace re-typing paper findings.
Less waste
Fewer lost findings that become expensive PSC or class surprises.
Lower risk
90-day overdue visibility and COSWP-sectioned evidence trail for every space.

How the work moves
- Safety officer completes a zone round onboard (online or offline)
- Findings are recorded with severity and photos
- Rectification tasks appear for assigned crew in PMS

Customers remain responsible for regulatory compliance. WaterTight is the operational system of record.
Questions before you commit
Do zone inspections work offline?
Yes. The crew app can queue zone inspection rounds and sync when connectivity returns.
What is the compliance cycle?
Each zone follows a 90-day (approximately three-month) COSWP-style checklist cycle. Overdue zones appear on the safety dashboard.
Can I finish with blank checklist items?
No. All checklist items must be marked ok, fail, or na before the round can be completed.
Is this the same as Master's Weekly Rounds?
No. Zone inspections use the COSWP checklist and 90-day cycle. Master's weekly rounds are a 7-day health and hygiene walk with different finding categories.
