After setting up your vessel in ShipCarePro, make sure to upload in-service reports whenever you receive them from vendors or complete an internal inspection.
These reports will populate your Biofouling Record Book (BFRB) and automatically update your Biofouling Management Plan (BFMP) where applicable.
Here’s how to upload them:
Click “Upload Reports” from the left-hand menu.
Click the “+ Upload Report” button
In the first dropdown, choose “In-Service Report.”
Fill in the required details:
Date of the report
Dry dock location
Name of the person who created the report
Select the Type of Service from the dropdown list. This helps categorize the report correctly in your BFRB.
When prompted “Was fouling present?” choose:
→select the appropriate option based on your report average/summary
If there’s a summary or note in the report, add it to the Comment field.
Click “Click to Indicate Niches Included on This Report.”
Select the relevant areas this report covers.
For example, an MGPS Install report might only include the MGPS boxes
While a paint/hull coating report may include most or all niches.
Drag and Drop or click to Upload the actual report file (PDF, JPG, JPEG or PNG).
Click Save.
✅ Important:
If you're uploading reports for the first time, repeat this process for each dry dock report from the current cycle so everything is reflected in your Biofouling Record Book - check out that tutorial here.
