What is Nautilus SSR?

Nautilus SSR is an alternative method for recording sea time to the traditional Sea Service Record Book. It is an online tool for Nautilus members to record sea time quickly, securely and efficiently. It allows you to record and track your sea time for approval towards your Certificate for Competency (CoC) or Notice of Eligibility (NOE). 

It speeds up the time taken to authorise your sea time. This is because it is fully digital, accessible from anywhere, and allows the Nautilus team instant access to approve your records. It also reduces the need to carry your physical record book or worry about it being lost or damaged.
