The Bahamas Maritime Authority has launched a blockchain-powered Digital Seafarer Record Book designed to replace traditional paper-based maritime documentation. The platform enables seafarers to securely store, verify, and share service records through a fully digital system.
Key features include digital discharge certificates, QR-code verification, secure identity validation, and real-time record sharing. Officials say the platform improves efficiency while reducing administrative burdens for seafarers, shipping companies, and maritime authorities.
The system was tested through a pilot program involving Carnival Cruise Line and identity verification provider IDSure. Authorities believe the technology will improve record integrity and support broader modernization efforts across the maritime industry.
The BMA has launched its new Blockchain-Secured Digital Seafarer Record Book; a secure, digital and internationally interoperable solution for recording and verifying sea service.
