The Norsteer Difference
Most inspections end with a report. Norsteer goes further.
Where the traditional cycle stops at three steps, we run a closed loop that carries findings all the way through to vessel readiness.

Products
Maritime software, built by people who sailed
We are turning what we do on board into tools you can run ashore. Three products are in development — each one shaped by the audits, inspections and PSC preparations our team has actually carried out.
The Line-up
Three products, all in development
Placeholder concepts while we finalise the roadmap. Details will firm up as each product moves toward release.
Coming Soon
01
NorSight
Inspection & Deficiency Intelligence
Turns inspection findings into a ranked list of corrective actions, so a vessel team knows what to close out first — and what a vetting inspector is most likely to look at next.
- Findings captured once, reused across regimes
- Risk-ranked close-out queue
- Evidence pack export for auditors

Target 2026

- ISM, ISPS & MLC windows on one calendar
- Port-state risk view by trading pattern

- Competency matrix per rank
- Records ready for audit

Target 2026
Our Approach
Built from the deck up
Every feature starts as something our own team needed during an audit, an inspection or a PSC preparation. If it does not save time on board, it does not ship.
- Designed by Master Mariners and auditors, not only by developers.
- Tested against real inspection and audit workflows.
- Built for shipboard realities — narrow bandwidth, shared devices, rotating crew.
