Shippy was created by a seafarer, for seafarers — built with firsthand knowledge of the industry’s challenges and designed to make life easier for those at sea.
Shippy uses AI-powered document recognition to simplify data entry for seafarers. When registering or updating training details, users can simply upload a photo of their certificate or click a picture through the app. Shippy’s AI then automatically reads the document and autofills all the relevant fields for that course — saving you time and effort, while reducing errors.
By uploading your documents on the Shippy app, you won't have to resubmit them every time you book a course. When you enroll for a course, the respective institute can securely access your uploaded documents through their Shippy panel — only when needed. This makes life easier for both seafarers and institutes by reducing unnecessary communication, saving time, and letting you enjoy a more relaxed, hassle-free vacation.
