## What is crew matrix software?

Crew matrix software gives ship managers a consolidated view of an assigned
crew's qualifications and experience and checks it against the criteria an
operator or charterer requires — rank, certificate of competency, administration
acceptance, and experience such as time in rank, on the vessel type and with the
operator. The NOZZLE Crew Matrix is part of
[NOZZLE Crew Management](/solutions/crew-management-software/).

The matrix compiles individual officer data already held in NOZZLE and checks an
assigned crew against your company's criteria and OCIMF expectations. It monitors
rank, nationality, issuing country and certificate of competency, tracks
administration acceptance, and reflects experience such as years with the
operator and years on the tanker. Criteria are customizable to your policy, and a
matrix rules checker alerts you when a crew member or vessel falls short — so gaps
are resolved before they affect an operation or a vetting inspection.

The crew matrix draws on the same data as the other NOZZLE crew capabilities:
[crew planning and assignments](/solutions/crew-planning-software/),
[work and rest hours](/solutions/crew-work-and-rest-hours-software/),
[appraisals](/solutions/crew-appraisal-software/) and
[payroll](/solutions/crew-payroll-software/), [contract management](/solutions/crew-contract-management-software/) and [medical records](/solutions/crew-medical-records-software/). Book a [demo](/request-demo/) to see
the matrix with your criteria.

## Capabilities

### See every crew shortfall before it costs you a fixture
_Crew Matrix & OCIMF_

A crew that doesn't meet a charterer's or vetting regime's expectations can cost you the fixture. The NOZZLE Crew Matrix compiles individual officer data and checks an assigned crew against your company's criteria and OCIMF expectations, and when a crew member or vessel falls short of a requirement it alerts you — so the gap is resolved before it affects an operation or a vetting inspection.

* Monitoring of rank, nationality, issuing country and certificate of competency * Administration acceptance tracking * Insight into years with the operator and years on the tanker * Customizable criteria based on company or OCIMF standards * A matrix rules checker that flags shortfalls

### Built for tanker vetting decisions
_Tanker Crew Insight_

For tanker operators, the matrix gives a clear view of whether an assigned crew meets the combined rank, certification and experience expectations that vetting regimes and charterers look for, drawing on the qualification and assignment data already held in NOZZLE Crew Management.

* A consolidated view of officer qualifications and experience * Criteria aligned to company policy and OCIMF expectations * Data drawn from the crew record, certificates and assignment history

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a crew matrix?
A crew matrix is a consolidated view of an assigned crew's qualifications and experience, checked against the criteria an operator or charterer requires — for example rank, certificate of competency, administration acceptance and time in rank, on the vessel type and with the operator. The NOZZLE Crew Matrix is part of [Crew Management](/solutions/crew-management-software/).

### Does the NOZZLE crew matrix support OCIMF criteria?
Yes. The matrix checks an assigned crew against both your own company criteria and OCIMF expectations, and the criteria are customizable to your policy. When a crew member or vessel falls short of a requirement, the matrix rules checker flags the shortfall.

### What data does the crew matrix use?
The matrix compiles officer data already held in NOZZLE — rank, nationality, issuing country, certificate of competency, administration acceptance, and experience such as years with the operator and years on the tanker — from the crew record, certificates and assignment history.

### How does the crew matrix help with vetting?
By showing whether an assigned crew meets the combined rank, certification and experience expectations before an operation, the matrix helps tanker operators identify and resolve gaps ahead of a vetting inspection.
