Platform Documentation

Complete technical reference for the Thalassacore maritime operating system.

Welcome to the Thalassacore Help Center. This document acts as the definitive operational authority for the Thalassacore platform, summarizing the features, data flows, and configuration rules across all components.

01 System Architecture & Tenancy

Thalassacore is engineered as a secure, high-performance, multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Database tenancy is logically enforced at the row level via client_id fields in all tenant tables.

Data Security & Tenant Isolation

The backend applies tenant validation checks on all incoming requests. Endpoints serving database objects query specifically within the authenticated user's client_id context to prevent cross-tenant leakage. Platform metadata tables are separated from transaction tables.

The Golden Thread

Cross-module workflows are linked through standardized IDs. A single vessel voyage generates operational records (Noon Reports) that automatically bind to charter fixtures, feed into laytime calculation engines, link to procurement workflows for bunkering, and schedule maintenance tasks based on operational running hours.

02 Voyage Operations

Voyage Operations is the core operational telemetry registry of the platform. It supports coordinates mapping, status reporting, and fuel analysis.

Noon Reports & Metocean Feeds

Noon Reports are entered daily from vessels. They compile engine telemetry, fuel Remaining On Board (ROB) by individual tank meters, and environmental conditions. Live Noon Reports cross-reference Marine Weather data feeds (wind degree directions, wave heights, and swell periods) to audit reporting accuracy against sea logs.

Emissions Monitoring (EU MRV / ETS)

Dynamic calculations evaluate CO₂ footprint by fuel type (VLSFO, LSMGO) and operational status (at sea vs. in port). Data feeds comply with EU MRV and UK MRV regulatory guidelines, outputting formatted tables suitable for compliance submission.

03 Planned Maintenance System (PMS)

The PMS module governs machinery longevity, compliance surveys, and safety logs.

Machinery Equipment Tree

Equipments are organized hierarchically by system (e.g., Propulsion, Auxiliaries, Electrical). Component cards track serial numbers, makers, and running hours.

Preventive & Corrective Work Orders

• Preventive Jobs: Triggered automatically based on calendar intervals (weekly, monthly) or running hours reported in Noon Reports.
• Corrective Actions: Logged dynamically on equipment failure, tracking parts used, root-cause code, and verification sign-off.

04 Crew Management

The crewing system spans payroll structures, contracts compliance, and hours auditing.

MLC 2006 Rest Hours Logging

Integrates seafarer timesheets to audit work/rest thresholds against MLC 2006 (minimum 10 hours rest in any 24-hour period, divided into no more than two periods). Infringements trigger active visual warnings on the dashboard.

Prorated Wage Engine

Calculates exact monthly payroll based on contract wage schedules, including partial months (sign-on/sign-off proration), overtime matrices, and cash-to-master advances.

05 Safety & HSEQ Governance

Enforces safety standards, regulatory inspections, and incident reports.

Non-Conformity Reports (NCR)

Tracks safety violations, equipment defects violating class standards, or audit failures. Each NCR requires root cause analysis, target corrective date, and verification logs.

Port State Control (PSC) Deficiencies

Records inspections carried out by external port control authorities. Links deficiencies directly to work orders in the PMS module, ensuring mechanical failures discovered during audits are tracked to completion.

06 Commercial & Laytime

Bridges operations with financial performance through charter agreements.

Voyage Estimator

Calculates pre-fixture profitability, estimating fuel consumption, port expenses, load-discharge cargo speed, and comparing results with Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) targets.

Laytime & Demurrage Calculator

Determines demurrage (damages for delay) or despatch (reward for early completion). Supports custom Statement of Facts (SOF) entries, weather exemptions, and loading shift exclusions.

07 Technical Procurement

Procurement links PMS material requisitions to shore ERP ledgers.

RFQ & Supplier Portal

Requisitions generated on vessels sync to shore. Purchasing officers issue Request for Quotation (RFQ) packages to multiple suppliers. Supplier bids compile back into comparative grids for approvals.

3-Way Matching

Integrates transaction states. Approvals require matches between the **Purchase Order (PO)**, **Goods Received Note (GRN)** logged by the crew, and the final **Supplier Invoice**.

08 Drydock Operations

Drydock governs major capital expenditure projects and cyclical surveys.

Project Work Packages

Compiles tasks (hull painting, tailshaft inspection, valve renewals) into standard Gantt structures. Tracks cost estimates against actual expenditures in real time.

UTM & Steel Renewal

Logs ultrasonic thickness measurements (UTM) of hull plates. Automated gauges highlight excessive corrosion, mapping requirements for steel plate renewals.

09 Enterprise ERP Integration

Thalassacore features active outbound connectors to bridge maritime operations with commercial ERP setups.

Logo Tiger 3 Connector

An API-driven sync service map operational logs to financial accounts. Purchase Orders and approved 3-way match invoices transform automatically into LG_INVOICE and LG_STLINE transactional payloads, reducing manual accounting entry.
