Walk any vessel from your desk.
Like Google Maps Street View, for your fleet. Every space aboard, recorded on the rounds the crew already does.
What Bulkhead is
A complete record of the vessel, twice a day.
The engine room and deck rounds happen twice a day, every day, on every vessel in the fleet. Today they produce a logbook entry and a photograph if something looked wrong. Bulkhead records the rounds themselves — same route, same crew, same fifteen minutes — and what comes ashore is the vessel as it stood that morning, space by space, walkable from a desk.
01
The round doesn't change
No form, no login, no report to file, no process to learn. The rounds are walked the way they have always been walked, and the record is what comes out of them.
02
Nothing depends on someone remembering to photograph it
Coverage is the same every day, whether or not anyone thought a space was worth documenting at the time.
03
And when someone ashore needs to be in the space now
The same rounds become a live call, with the office seeing what the engineer sees.
Officers already average 11.5-hour days. Bulkhead adds nothing to them — the record is a by-product of the round they already walk. And it records the work, not the people: nobody is taken on faith, and nobody is watched.
What the record is worth
Visibility across the fleet, without an attendance.
The whole fleet, seen from one desk
The condition of every vessel he covers, seen from his desk, on the day the rounds were walked. A question about a space gets settled the same morning instead of becoming a photo request and two days of waiting.
Progression, seen rather than remembered
Wastage, pitting, coating breakdown — against the same space last month and the month before, rather than against someone's recollection of how it looked.
Know the condition before the inspection, not after the finding
The space is on record from the rounds themselves, so the condition ahead of a vetting attendance, a PSC inspection or a RightShip inspection is known — not assembled after a finding has been raised.
Evidence that the SMS procedure was followed
The daily walk-around required by the safety management system is either evidenced or it is not. Where there is no record of a space, the round did not cover it — so the procedure is followed as written rather than reported as followed.
Crew familiarisation before joining
An engineer walks the machinery spaces before he flies out, and arrives knowing the vessel rather than learning it.
Who we are
Built from inside the industry.
Bulkhead is built by naval architects and marine engineers who went on to build production software. Not observers who found an interesting problem — engineers who hit the limits of the current tools and decided to build past them. We stay small deliberately: every decision is made by someone who understands the engine-room shift at 0300 and the paperwork waiting after it.
