Why Northstar

Everything a maritime program needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Designed hand-in-hand with the maritime education community, Northstar replaces spreadsheet chaos with one beautifully connected system.

e-Daily Journal

Digital logbooks upgrade traditional paper journals — cadets log voyages, tasks, and reflections from any device.

OTG Task Tracking

Program-aware on-the-go task progress for Deck and Engine cadets, with supervisor sign-off.

Health Monitoring

Automated weekly health pulse, anomaly alerts, and trend analytics for wellbeing on the seas.

Technical Sessions

Cadets book live mentoring sessions with experts; calendars and reminders are fully automated.

Document Validation

Smart validation of certificates and sea-time records — flags inconsistencies before they cost time.

Fleet-wide Visibility

Tracks active vessels globally, giving Onboard Training Supervisors a real-time view of exactly where cadets are onboard.
