Terms of Service

Last updated: 04/11/2025

Ekynavy is a digital logbook designed for maritime navigation.

The application is designed to meet the functional requirements applicable to navigation logbooks as defined by the international conventions SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) and FAL (Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic), particularly regarding traceability, timestamping, data retention, and offline availability.

Ekynavy does not constitute an official record within the meaning of the MARPOL convention and does not replace mandatory environmental logbooks (Oil Record Book, Garbage Record Book, Ballast Water Record Book, or any other MARPOL record).

The use of Ekynavy as an official logbook is subject to acceptance by the competent authority of the vessel's flag state.

The shipowner and the captain remain solely responsible for compliance with the regulatory obligations applicable to their vessel.
