Entra ID / Azure AD & Power BI integration
Designed for hot work, confined spaces and painting work control
Shipyards and Offshore projects operate in dynamic, high-risk environments:
Multiple High-Risk Tasks Overlapping
Shipyards often have hot work in confined spaces happening simultaneously. The environment is constantly changing while the ship is being built. Without real-time digital coordination, overlapping permits can lead to severe safety hazards and costly downtime.
Paper-Based Permits Cause Communication Gaps
When permits are managed with paper or spreadsheets, it’s easy for approvals to be delayed or misplaced between departments and even vessels. This slows down essential work and creates operational blind spots for supervisors.
Confined Space Work Requires Continuous Control
Work below deck, in tanks, or within tight areas demands constant monitoring of work status, even gas levels. Manual documentation can’t ensure accurate readings or real-time visibility—creating potential safety and compliance risks.
Regulatory and Environmental Demands Are Rising
From comprehensive standards to national maritime safety and insurance regulations, shipyards face strict inspection and reporting requirements. Paper-based records can’t withstand audits or prove compliance efficiently to inspectors and insurers.
Manage all work permits directly from mobile devices or desktop—whether onshore, onboard, or offshore. Each permit is linked to personnel qualifications, environmental conditions, and real-time safety data. Supervisors receive instant updates, contractors acknowledge instructions, and operations continue smoothly under complete digital oversight.
By going paperless, you improve coordination, ensure compliance, and keep every stakeholder informed of what’s happening, where, and under what conditions.
Communication and Authorization
Send the permit instantly to supervisors or vessel safety officers for approval. Every signature, acknowledgment, and confirmation happens digitally—ensuring work begins only after full clearance.
Real-Time Tracking and Execution
Monitor active permits in real time through dashboards or site maps. Track ongoing jobs, confined space activities, or maintenance operations even when offshore connectivity is limited. Record environmental readings or safety checks directly in the app.
Closure, Control, and Reporting
Once work is complete, perform final inspection and close the permit digitally. All records are stored automatically for audits, port inspections, or company-wide reporting—accessible anytime, anywhere.
Key Features for Marine & Shipyard Safety
Give access to every crew member, contractor, or technician without license limits. Gate keeps everyone aligned and ensures safety standards are applied consistently across vessels or yards.
Offline-ready for remote operations
Gate works even without internet access, it can be even installed on local networks - ideal for offshore rigs, dry docks, and marine repair zones.
Complete visibility across all permits
Track every permit, location, and task in one dashboard. Identify overlapping high-risk work and prevent conflicts before they occur.
Real-time insights and reporting
Automatically generate reports on ongoing and closed permits, incidents, and compliance data. Power BI integration provides management with full operational oversight.
Built-in compliance with maritime standards
Gate PTW is designed to support various standards, e.g. IMO, SOLAS, ISO 45001, and ATEX requirements. Every permit includes a digital audit trail and version history, ensuring readiness for any inspection.
