About this app

Built by a working towboat captain for the crews of the inland rivers.

Pushboat Log tracks the sea time that gets you your next license - the way it actually works on a towboat, not a ship.

⚓ COUNT EVERY DAY THE RIGHT WAY
• 12-hour two-watch days credit at 1.5x (46 U.S.C. 8104(g)) - automatically
• Crew-change days split ½ each, the way most fleets run it (adjustable)
• Mid-hitch boat swaps, ride-overs, going home early - all handled, no math lost
• Set your rotation (20/10, 28/14, 20/20, 28/28, or custom) and see exactly when you'll reach Steersman, Mate (Pilot), and Master of Towing

✍️ SIGNATURES CAPTURED ON THE SPOT
Hand your phone to the captain at crew change, the observing PIC at the barge, or your Designated Examiner after an assessment. One signature, attached to that record, locked forever. No more chasing letters years later.

📜 TOAR TRACKING
Every assessment section, signed off item by item by your DE - summarized for the official CG-840.

🛢️ TANKERMAN RENEWAL
Log every load and discharge with barge numbers, phases covered, and the observing PIC's signature. Watch your 5/5/2/2/2/2 coverage fill in - or set higher company targets.

📓 CAPTAIN'S LOG
Miles per watch - front or back, 6-hour or 12-hour - locks made, and events. Provable wheel time and route familiarity for TOAR routes and route-time gates.

🖨️ DOCUMENTS THE NMC RECOGNIZES
Print, save to PDF, or email: NMC-format sea service letters, CG-719S worksheets (one per boat, days by month), TOAR records, tankerman transfer letters, and your captain's log. Every document is laid out to published NMC guidance, with instructions and signature blocks.

🔒 YOUR RECORDS STAY YOURS
Everything lives on your phone. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Export a backup anytime.

FREE: projection calculator + your last 3 hitches.
PRO: unlimited history, signatures, and all document exports - first month free, then $2.99/month, $9.99/year, or $29.99 once for lifetime.

Pushboat Log is a personal record-keeping tool. All credentialing decisions are made by the U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center.
