01Platform

Your whole operation, in one calm place

One record for every boat, crew member, trip and certificate — shared by the owner, the office and the captain at the jetty.

A safety lock on every departure

Weather, daylight, capacity and documents are checked before a boat can leave the jetty.

Captains in the loop

Captains log trips from their phone or a WhatsApp voice note, and you see it as it happens.

02How it works

How a voyage runs on Tideline

Every trip follows the same loop: plan it, check it, sail it, close it. The record builds itself as you go.

01

Plan the day

Routes, schedules and crew are set once. Captains open today’s trips on their phone.

02

Check before departure

The safety lock runs weather, daylight, capacity and document checks, in plain words.

03

Track the voyage

The captain’s phone shares position. Passengers see a public status page, no personal data.

04

Close and report

Takings, passengers and fuel roll up into a daily report for the owner, by boat and by route.

03Modes

Ferry, charter and compliance on one platform

Turn on the modes your business runs. Vessels, crew, documents and payments are shared underneath.

Works offline

Trips, manifests and safety checks save on the phone and sync when the signal returns.

Voice notes count

“Trip four, CMS to Ikorodu, eighteen passengers” becomes a logged trip after one tap.

Any phone

Light enough for a low-cost Android on a slow network, readable in full sun.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

It helps, but it isn’t required. Captains can log trips by WhatsApp voice note or by a short SMS, and the office can enter trips for them.

Captain screens work offline. Trips, manifests and safety checks are saved on the phone and sync automatically when the connection returns.

No. A blocked trip can only depart with the owner’s recorded approval, and an overloaded boat can’t depart at all.

Online by card, transfer or USSD, or in cash at the jetty. Every ticket gets a code the crew scans at boarding.

Data is encrypted, each company only sees its own records, and we follow the data-protection law of every country we operate in.

We’re launching in Nigeria with Lagos ferry operators and offshore support vessels. Other countries follow as we validate each market.

We’re onboarding our first ferry and crew-boat operators now. Start with one boat; add the rest when you’re ready.
