Glen had been a ferry operator for over a decade, captaining his 30-passenger vessel across scenic coastal waters. Every day, he took pride in safely ferrying tourists and locals alike, building his small but reliable operation. But over time, the burden of managing maintenance schedules for his vessel became more than just a routine task—it became a looming threat to his business.
The Storm Glen Didn’t See Coming
One quiet morning, while prepping for his daily route, Glen noticed something off with the engine—just a minor sputter at first, but it quickly escalated. As it turned out, he had missed a routine engine check that could have prevented a major breakdown. That single oversight grounded his vessel for two weeks, forcing him to cancel bookings, refund tickets, and watch as his reputation took a hit.
It wasn’t just the cost of repairs that hurt; Glen had lost trust with his passengers, some of whom relied on his ferry as their main mode of transportation. He knew that running his operation on manual logbooks and scattered notes wasn’t enough to keep up with the growing demands of his business. He couldn’t afford another mistake like this—not just financially, but personally. He needed a solution that could help him stay on top of his maintenance schedule and keep his passengers safe.
Turning the Tide on Maintenance
That’s when Glen found SeaLogs.
Frustrated with how much time he spent juggling maintenance records, Glen was drawn to the idea of automating the process. SeaLogs offered a simple platform that could track and manage all his maintenance needs, from regular engine checks to safety equipment inspections.

No more forgotten maintenance checks or scrambling to find paperwork—everything was logged, scheduled, and easily accessible on his phone or tablet.

But the true victory came with his passengers. With his vessel operating at peak efficiency, Glen regained their trust. He started receiving positive reviews, and soon enough, bookings surged back to life. His ferry, once on the brink of failure, was now thriving.
