ε-ORB is a multiple award winning, state-of-the-art software program, that can be used to replace your traditional paper oil record book for the preparation and printing of your traditional Oil Record Book. By facilitating more accurate and secure entries, while ensuring transparency, credibility, and traceability, you’re reducing potentially expensive errors and preparing for the paperless recordkeeping of the near future. The record-keeping workflow remains the same for your seafarers, meaning time won’t be wasted on learning new processes. Records can be kept constantly up-to-date and in compliance with regulations, while preventing detentions and port delays, and ensuring peace of mind. Transferring data ashore is also convenient, easy, and secure, while significantly reducing the potential for your records to be lost, stolen, or altered by unauthorized personnel.
You really can’t understate the danger from poor record-keeping today. As Blank Rome recently noted, legal authorities like the U.S. Department of Justice pursue “…10-15 criminal MARPOL enforcement cases a year, nearly all of which include at least one false ORB count. These cases can result in substantial criminal fines against ship owners and operators, and/or imprisonment of top-ranking ship officers.” ε-ORB helps protect you against these kinds of problems.
