The technology behind Skipi

Document Package Sharing

Skipi introduces a novel approach to maritime document exchange: users select documents from a vessel's structured library, and the system generates a secure ZIP bundle with a unique URL. The package has configurable expiry (1-90 days) and download limits (1-100). Recipients access the package via the URL without creating an account or authenticating — eliminating the friction that plagues existing maritime document workflows. Each download is tracked, and expired packages are automatically removed. This mechanism is purpose-built for the maritime industry's document exchange patterns: vetting inspections, Port State Control preparations, charterer due diligence, class society surveys, and inter-company compliance requests.

SOLAS Document Frameworks

When a vessel is registered in Skipi, the system automatically generates a complete document structure based on the vessel type and applicable international conventions. A Bulk Carrier receives 50+ pre-defined document slots across categories: Statutory Certificates (SMC, ISSC, IOPP, MLC, CLC), Class Certificates, Crew Documents (STCW CoCs, medical certificates), Safety Equipment (liferaft, EPIRB, fire extinguisher certificates), Operations & Logs (Oil Record Book, SOPEP, SEEMP), Insurance & P&I, and type-specific documents (ESP reports, hatch cover test certificates, grain loading authorization). Each document slot carries metadata: expected validity period, survey cycle, and regulatory reference. This rigid framework ensures no required document is overlooked — a structured approach not found in existing maritime ERP systems at accessible price points.

Local-First Architecture

Skipi follows an Obsidian-like local-first philosophy: all documents and metadata are stored on the user's device in a lightweight SQLite database. The system operates fully offline. Synchronization with cloud storage is optional and user-initiated — addressing the maritime industry's unique connectivity constraints (satellite bandwidth limitations, intermittent connections at sea) and the trust barrier that prevents adoption of cloud-only solutions. This architectural choice differentiates Skipi from every existing maritime document management system, all of which require persistent cloud connectivity or legacy client-server infrastructure.

Seafarer Personal Documents

Individual seafarers receive a free personal document framework based on their STCW rank. A Master receives 25+ document slots (Passport, Seafarer's Identity Document, Certificate of Competency, GMDSS GOC, ECDIS training, Bridge Team Management, Medical First Aid, Advanced Fire Fighting, Ship Security Officer certificate, and more). Each document tracks validity and provides expiry reminders. Seafarers can create shareable packages of their personal documents for employers, manning agencies, or flag state authorities — using the same one-link mechanism as vessel packages.
