Features — Flag States & Ship Registries
The digital maritime registry — built for flag states
From the Digital Seafarer Record Book to flag state ship certificates — IDsure gives maritime administrations a complete, blockchain-backed digital infrastructure that integrates with your existing registry systems.
ILO 185
The Digital Seafarer Record Book — ILO 185 compliant
IDsure's Digital Seafarer Record Book replaces paper ILO 185 documents with a blockchain-backed credential that is issued directly to the seafarer's verified identity. It travels with them throughout their career, is verifiable by any authority worldwide in seconds, and cannot be lost, damaged, or forged.
Trusted by the Bahamas Maritime Authority — one of the world's largest ship registries — to digitalize their entire national seafarer record book programme.
- Fully ILO 185 compliant Digital Seafarer Record Book
- Issued directly to the seafarer's verified identity
- Permanent, tamper-proof record on the Concordium blockchain
- Instant QR verification by port state control and employers worldwide
Authenticated endorsement
Digital sea service records — signed by an authenticated Master
Sea service records are the foundation of a seafarer's professional career. IDsure enables a ship's Master to digitally sign sea service entries using authenticated credentials — creating a legally robust, tamper-proof record that is tied to the vessel, the voyage, and the seafarer's verified identity.
The digital signature is cryptographically verifiable, removing any possibility of dispute, forgery, or after-the-fact alteration — from the moment it is signed.
- Authenticated Master digital signature — cryptographically verifiable
- Tied to vessel identity and voyage data
- Immutable record — cannot be altered after signing
- Builds a verified, lifelong sea service history for each seafarer
Full certificate lifecycle
Issue seafarer and ship certificates from your administration
Flag state administrations can issue the full range of seafarer credentials — Certificates of Competency, Certificates of Proficiency, STCW endorsements — as well as flag state ship certificates, directly through the IDsure platform. Every certificate reaches the seafarer or vessel instantly and remains verifiable for its entire validity period.
Bulk issuance lets your administration process entire cohorts in one action, eliminating the administrative backlog that comes with paper-based workflows.
- Certificates of Competency, Proficiency, and STCW endorsements
- Flag state ship certificates issued digitally
- Bulk issuance — entire cohorts processed in one action
- Certificates verifiable by PSC and employers globally, instantly
Oversight and governance
Manage and oversee your approved training institutions
Flag state administrations can manage their entire network of approved training institutes through IDsure. Maintain the central registry of approved institutions, review courses and curricula, and retain full oversight of the certificates being issued under your flag — from a single administration dashboard.
Approval, suspension, or revocation of institutional status is reflected immediately across the platform — no manual updates, no lag between your decision and the system.
- Central registry of all approved training institutions
- Review and approve courses and certification programmes
- Revoke or suspend institutional approval instantly
- Full audit trail of all certificates issued under your flag
