D-BASE D-BASE

Maritime Vessel & Company Database

The single source of truth for your vessels — and the owners and managers behind them

D-BASE is the single source of truth for vessel data — and the owners, managers, and counterparties connected to every ship. It replaces scattered spreadsheets, PDFs, and shared drives with one structured, searchable system that keeps technical particulars, ownership structures, contacts, and certificates current and audit-ready. Capture complete vessel specifications — tanks, cranes, mooring, class, and certification — and export the Q88 vessel particulars questionnaire in one click, with no re-keying. Map company ownership and shareholding, track the relationships between owners, managers, and counterparties, and let automatic expiry alerts flag certificates before they lapse. As the data core of the Sealogic suite, D-BASE feeds clean, trusted vessel and company data into every other product — so your whole operation runs on one connected source of truth.

Crew Management Software FAQs

What is D-BASE?
D-BASE is a maritime vessel and company database — one structured, searchable, audit-ready system that replaces spreadsheets, PDFs, and shared drives. It holds Q88-grade vessel particulars alongside the owners, managers, and counterparties connected to every ship, and acts as the data core that the rest of the Sealogic suite builds on.
What vessel data does D-BASE store?
Each vessel record covers identification, build (builder, yard, hull, year), class society, flag, dimensions and tonnages, loadlines, engines, generators, steering, consumption and engine speeds, and navigation and communication equipment. For tankers, gas, and chemical carriers it also holds cargo, ballast, bunker and deck tanks, loading and discharging rates, manifold reducers, pipe flanges, gas specifications, and gas-detection points — the same detail an oil major expects to see in a Q88.
Can D-BASE generate a Q88?
Yes. Because particulars are stored once in a structured form, D-BASE generates the Q88 vessel particulars questionnaire — and its XML — directly from the record in one click. There is no re-keying and no rebuilding the questionnaire by hand for every charterer or vetting request. See Q88 export.
How does D-BASE track ownership and company relationships?
D-BASE stores company records with addresses, contacts, ownership and shareholding structures, share certificates, and a company organigram. Entity relationships link vessels to companies and people, so the registered owner, manager, DOC holder, and counterparties behind any ship are one click away.
How does D-BASE keep certificates from lapsing?
Every vessel certificate is stored with its validity and expiry dates and the scan attached to the record. D-BASE tracks those dates and raises automatic expiry alerts before a certificate lapses, so renewals are handled ahead of port calls, vetting, and audits rather than discovered too late. See certificates and documents.
Is D-BASE secure, and who can see what?
Access is controlled by granular roles and permissions per object type (view, create, edit, delete), with organisational units, memberships, and scoping for sensitive financial data. Login is protected by enforced two-factor authentication, passkey (WebAuthn) sign-in, and Microsoft or Sealogic single sign-on, and every record carries a full change history for audit purposes.
