Skipi collects structured seafarer reviews of the vessels and companies they have served on. Those signals aggregate into a decision-support layer: a seafarer sees the real profile of an employer before signing; a crewing team, ship manager, charterer or broker sees the real state of a vessel before hiring or fixing.
Vault, certificate expiry control, vessel and company reviews, employer choice.

Skipi is not a social network or a jobs board with likes. It is a structured decision-support layer powered by direct signals from those who have been on board.
A structured 16-section seafarer review of the vessel: safety culture, maintenance, food, rest, vetting pressure, management response.
The crewing company, ship manager and owner profile is assembled from crew reviews: payment reliability, repeat employment, attitude to crew.
A layer for everyone who makes decisions on a specific vessel or company — from the seafarer before signing to the bank before a ship-finance covenant review.

Skipi does not aggregate opinions from social media and does not buy register data. Every review is a structured form filled in by a seafarer who has actually worked on that vessel. 16 sections cover safety, maintenance, vetting pressure, management response, food, rest, payments — exactly what Equasis and RightShip do not show.
Skipi stores every review with a server-side HMAC hash — linking a review to a specific seafarer is technically impossible, even with admin rights. The crewing company sees the vessel and company profile, but not who wrote the review. This removes the fear of retaliation and keeps the signal honest.
Skipi does not build a separate product per role — everyone uses the same intelligence layer. Seafarers, crewing teams, ship managers, freight brokers, charterers, banks, investors and P&I clubs see the vessel and company profile in the same structure, but apply it to their own decision.
The intelligence layer is the core. Vault, packages and indices are the rails along which signals naturally flow from the seafarer to aggregation.
Structured form, not free text. Quick/Detailed/N/A modes.
Aggregation of reviews into a single 0–10 index, broken down by section.
Vetting pressure, payment delays, management response — surfaced explicitly.
Crewing, ship manager, owner — assembled from crew reviews.
Server-side hash — seafarer identity not exposed, no retaliation possible.
Management or owner change is visible in the review history.
Pre-loaded into the distribution, enriched via Equasis, RightShip, news.
Documents and seafarer history stay on the device. Sync on demand.
CV pipeline and packages — rails for natural signal flow.
Colour-coded status and 30-day expiry warnings.
12 ranks and 8 vessel types from live vacancies.
Structured application with CV and valid certificates.
Three steps in one loop. Direct signal from on board → aggregation and privacy → vessel and company profile for the decision.
After the contract the seafarer fills in a structured 16-section review. Quick mode — 5 minutes, Detailed — 15. The personal vault remembers prior vessels — repeat contracts are counted.
Server-side HMAC detaches the review from identity. A pending moderation gate filters anomalies. Published reviews are aggregated into a composite score and warning flags.
Seafarers, crewing teams, ship managers, charterers and brokers see the vessel and company profile. Contract, hire or fixture decisions are made on data, not on rumours.
Seafarers have free access to vessel and company profiles in the Skipi Seafarer client. Crewing teams, ship managers, freight brokers and charterers receive access on request with an authorisation token. For ship-finance banks, investors, S&P advisors and P&I clubs there is a separate enterprise access tier per company. In all cases write to info@tymur.org from a corporate domain.
Skipi stores every review with a server-side HMAC hash over the identifier. Linking a review to a specific seafarer is technically impossible, even with admin rights. A separate review_pubkey detaches the review from the vault. Crewing sees the signal, not the author — retaliation is excluded.
Every review goes through a pending moderation gate before publication. Obvious anomalies (bot spam, irrelevant sections) are filtered out. A dispute on a specific review can be raised via info@tymur.org — but the author is not identified.
Equasis exposes registries, inspections, PSC. RightShip provides a vetting baseline. Skipi exposes what only those who have been on board can see: safety culture, management response, vetting pressure from the inside, payment reliability, attitude to the crew. The signals complement each other, they do not replace.
Skipi Seafarer is in public early access — free to download. Access for crewing teams, ship managers, charterers and brokers is invite-only via an authorisation token. Early adopters can request access on demand.
On the seafarer's device. Skipi uses a local-first architecture: the vault is files on the user's machine. Cloud sync is opt-in and explicit. Reviews are stored separately from the vault, unlinked from identity.
The desktop client builds for Windows, macOS and Linux. Skipi is also available on the web. Mobile clients are on the 2026 roadmap.
Send a short note from your corporate domain to info@tymur.org with a brief introduction and your role (crewing / ship manager / freight broker / charterer / owner / bank / investor / P&I / insurer / cargo interest). We issue a token and run a short onboarding — typically 20–30 minutes.
Download the Seafarer client and submit your first review — or request access for crewing, charterer or broker. Early access is free, no subscription.
