CSL's SafePartners Management System

The transition is on the way to modernize CSL’s ship and crew management tools, such as Shipsure 1.0, with a series of specialized applications.

Developed as an extension of the SafePartners program established to improve the working environment of crew members, the SafePartners Management System (SP-MS), acts as an umbrella program for the various projects aimed at implementing best of breed applications and processes to provide CSL seafarers with modern, streamlined tools and ensure safe, sustainable and efficient operations.

And just like SafePartners, the SP-MS program is being developed in collaboration with CSL crews to ensure our new systems respond to your needs and work effectively, in alignment with the CVMS and AVMS.

The applications implemented as part of SP-MS are the Ocean Learning Platform (OLP) for crew training, Shipsure 2.0 for technical operations management,  COMPAS  for crew management as well as WorkAxle for timesheet and ADP for payroll  in 2026.

To keep you informed at every step of the process, the SP-MS Resource Portal was created to keep you updated on all the latest news, resources and training links.

If this is your first visit, we invite you to click on See all news to read the news from the beginning.

Which applications will be included in SP-MS?

Six categories of applications are included in the initiative:

Crewing
The crewing application allows the management of crew profiles, assignments, expense claims, work and rest hours, appraisals and more. Thanks to the self-service feature, both the crewing team and crew members will be able to update information and documents.
Training
The training application allows easy assignment, delivery and completion of training and drills on board, access to real-time data and reports, management of crew competencies and more.
HSEQ
The HSEQ application facilitates the management of incidents, inspections, medical events, environmental events and risks.
Planned Maintenance
The planned maintenance application helps manage the planned maintenance structure, facilitate continuous improvement, equipment and maintenance information and logs, management of tasks and more.
Procurement
The procurement application supports the management of components, spare parts, suppliers, quotations, etc.
Timesheet and Payroll (implementation in 2026)
The WorkAxle timesheet system allows crew members to enter their working hours and any overtime directly in the system. This information is then used by the ADP payroll system to calculate accurate pay, generate pay stubs, and provide access to tax forms.
