Safety information
Last updated: 2026-09-27 · v2026-09-27-draft
YesCaptain.life shows digital safety guidance that the captain of each vessel writes and publishes. It is a supplement, not a replacement for the safety systems on board.
Always follow the vessel's own safety arrangements
In an emergency, follow the ship's alarms, public address announcements, muster and drill arrangements, the vessel's approved procedures and the directions of the master and crew. These always take priority over anything shown in this app.
International rules such as SOLAS Chapter III require life-saving appliances, muster lists, emergency instructions and drills on board. This app does not provide or replace any of them.
Digital guidance can fail or be out of date
Notifications depend on your device, its settings, battery, internet connection and third-party push services. They may arrive late or not at all.
Offline copies are saved on your device at the time you last opened them and may be out of date. Check the date shown and ask the crew if in doubt.
Content is written by the vessel's captain. Automatic translations may contain errors; the original language version prevails.
What an acknowledgement means
When you confirm that you have read a briefing or received a message, the app records that confirmation and the time. It is a record of receipt only. It is not a waiver of any right, not proof that you understood the content, and not a substitute for training or drills.
Access to safety information
Opening a vessel's safety guide never requires an account, marketing consent or notification permission.
