As the maritime industry continues its transition towards paperless operations, one of the less visible challenges has often been the approval process for digital logbooks. While regulations permit electronic record keeping, shipowners can encounter delays due to differing interpretations, varying levels of digital logbook familiarity among surveyors, and discussions around approval wording during vessel certification.


At NAVTOR, we believe digital adoption should be straightforward.


To support our clients and enable faster implementation of digital logbooks across their fleets, NAVTOR Digital Logbooks has now been awarded Type Approval from DNV.


This latest approval provides an additional level of assurance for shipowners, managers, and surveyors, helping to reduce uncertainty, improve consistency during surveys, and streamline the certification process.


The DNV approval marks NAVTOR's fourth Type Approval for Digital Logbooks, alongside approvals from:

  • ClassNK (Japan)

  • Lloyd's Register (LR)

  • Korean Register (KR)

  • DNV


By proactively securing approvals from leading classification societies, NAVTOR continues to remove barriers that can slow digital transformation, making it easier for customers to deploy digital logbooks with confidence and accelerate their journey towards compliant, paperless operations.



Four Type Approvals. One trusted platform. A simpler path to digital logbook adoption.
