Ro-Ro family

The maritime autopilot for Ro-Pax ferries

Many departures a day, passengers and vehicles together, and rules that ask for a count before every sailing. Naavra keeps short voice-and-photo checklists for each departure, the passenger count against the certificate and rest hours across short-sea rotations.

In the ro-pax ferry pack

  • Persons on board counted before departure and sent where required
  • Passenger numbers checked against the certificate and life-saving capacity
  • Short voice-and-photo checklists for many departures a day
  • Crowd management training and evacuation drills recorded
  • Safe-return-to-port readiness, stability limits and state inspections

13 features for ro-pax ferries, plus everything every ship type gets. Your colleagues:

Questions

About Naavra for ro-pax ferries

How long does a departure checklist take?

They are built for many crossings a day: short, by voice and photo, and only what that departure needs.

Does it send the passenger count?

It records the count and, where the rules require, prepares it for the national single window. Sending follows your procedure.

Can it handle rest hours across four crossings a day?

Yes. Rest is checked across the day's crossings and the watch pattern, and a rota that breaks the rules shows before it is worked.

Is hotel purchasing included?

Yes. Catering, food safety and retail stock run on the same purchasing flow as the rest of the ship.
