Still running paper logs?
There’s a better way.
Helm CONNECT Logbook gives your crew the fastest, simplest way to record what's happening on the vessel, and gives your shore team a live view of every entry, the moment it's made.
No scanning. No emailing. No guessing.
Easy log entry. Minimum clicks.
Logbook's clean, simple layout was built for the people on the water — so even the least tech-savvy mariner can log new entries, review previous logs, or download reports without training.
Log events and activities quickly from any device
Daily log placeholders remind crew of recurring entries
Perform crew changes directly from the Logbook screen
Calendar navigation makes reviewing previous entries simple
Instant transparency between vessel and shore.
Track crew onboard, upcoming work, and ongoing activities as they happen — all in real time. Access the digital log from shore the moment an entry is made, so tasks can be completed right away without waiting for the logbook to be sent in.
Vessels operating outside connectivity range have entries sync automatically the moment they come back online — no manual follow-up, nothing lost. Dispatchers, compliance managers, and operations leaders all see the same picture, at the same time.
View what's happening onboard — all on one screen.
Increase visibility into daily activities by seeing upcoming events, tasks completed, and crew onboard at a glance. Your captain has the full picture without switching between screens or making calls to shore.

View upcoming jobs and tasks due today in real time
Monitor open items across the vessel at a glance
Daily log placeholders keep recurring entries from being missed
Print and export logs instantly.
Quickly print and export logs for charterers and other stakeholders at any time and in your custom formats. E-signatures allow crew to sign off on entries using personal passwords, with signature status visible throughout.

Supports multi-user and single-user signing workflows
Export to PDF or CSV at any time
Custom report layouts available through Professional Services
Track cargo and fluid
levels with confidence.
Crew can track onboard fluids using soundings, configure tanks and cargo holds, and use sounding tables to convert fluid levels — all from the Cargo tab inside Logbook.
Tank and cargo hold configuration is managed through Management > Assets, making setup straightforward for your team.
Officially recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard
The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed that Helm CONNECT Logbook meets federal standards for commercial vessel recordkeeping.
For U.S. operators, this means your digital log entries carry the same legal weight as paper — and you no longer need to maintain parallel paper logs as backup. When records are needed, they're organized, searchable, and accessible in seconds — from the vessel or the office.
Not based in the U.S.?
Logbook is built for operators everywhere. USCG recognition reflects the high standards of compliance we adhere to, but the efficiency and visibility benefits apply to any fleet, anywhere in the world.
No more scanning, waiting for logbooks to come ashore, or calling the captain to find out what's happening on the vessel. Those problems don't care where you operate, and neither does Logbook
