The gateway computer hosts the eLog-software, provides a main- and a back-up storage SSD. Access to the software is attainable with a web-app using any computer connected to the gateway computer, directly or via the ethernet.

The criteria for use of electronic logbooks instead of hardcopies vary considerably between flags. Some flags leave it to the owner to install compliant logs, others insist on a type-specific approval. Some flag states require a type approval by a recognized organization added by an application of the company for every ship. We are constantly monitoring the legal requirements and update our website as soon as new information is available. For more information please click here.

MARPOL-related books must comply with MSC.Res.312(74) while Deck-and Engine Logbooks must comply with DIN ISO 21.745:2019. The latter technical standard exceeds those of the MARPOL-regulation. For other books/modules it depends on the regulations set by the administration. Anyhow, the Formularus-Anschütz-eLog complies with both standards, therefore covering all modules at present and in the future.

The eLog complies with IEC 61162-450 on the transfer of navigational data, thus allowing data exchange with equipment from other manufacturers.

Yes. In this case the general set-up of basic data will be aligned and a new license key must be purchased.

The licence applies to the purchased portfolio of modules, which are Basic, Advanced or Full. To switch to a higher package with more modules a new licence-key must be purchased.

No, the key is valid for all modules which are included in the purchased package.

Yes. Each module may be purchased independently from others.

By means of the ethernet an almost unlimited number of computers can be connected with the eLog’s software hosted on the gateway computer.

Our gateway computer is certified according to the DIN ISO 21.745:2019 and complies to IEC 60.945. Computers that do not fulfill these requirements cannot be used for the hosting of electronic logbooks. Nevertheless, the access to the software on the gateway computer is permitted by use of any standard computer via the ethernet.

The software is installed on the gateway computer prior to delivery. Your license is activated by entering the license key or activated automatically via the cloud.

Licences are issued for one year. They are purchased independently from the hardware.

Contracts will continue automatically, if not cancelled within 2 months.

The data will remain on the storage-SSDs of the gateway computer and in the cloud.

The cloud solution comes with the standard license for the eLog and is based on blockchain technology.

Basic navigational data is supplied by the AIS. Any other information such as weather or navigational data may be received via the ethernet.

Yes, the eLog is designed for that. Data can be transferred into the cloud where it is stored by means of blockchain technology.

The eLog requires the gateway-computer. The gateway-PC is compact and fits into any given bridge console. To operate the eLog any fixed computer or mobile device which is connected to the ship's network is needed. In a stand-alone configuration one computer maybe connected to the eLog as a single work station as well. The eLog on the gateway-PC is operating like a WebApp. Users on their devices connect to the gateway-PC by means of their standard internet browser. Therefore, the handling is similar to complete a form in the internet.

Updates will be provided in the cloud. On-board-users receive an automatically generated message and the user initiates download and installation.

For gateway-pc’s without SatCom-connection the updated software must be downloaded from the Raytheon-Anschütz-Partner Area and transferred to a workstation being connected to the gateway-pc. The software will be installed using the eLog-web-app.

The data can be stored for at least 5 years.

An SSD-drive of 64 GB is part of the gateway computer. Data is stored via satcom in a cloud, operated with blockchain technology.

Electronic Logbooks must comply to DIN ISO 21.745:2019, standards and IMO-requirements. Part of this norm are numerous IEC-requirements, which exclude the use of standard computers for the hosting of the software.
