The Norsteer Difference
Most inspections end with a report. Norsteer goes further.
Where the traditional cycle stops at three steps, we run a closed loop that carries findings all the way through to vessel readiness.

Products
Maritime software, built by people who sailed
We are turning what we do on board into a tool you can run ashore. Steadfast is in development, shaped by the audits, inspections and PSC preparations our team has actually carried out.
Purpose-Built Maritime Software
Steadfast
Mooring Safety & Fleet Compliance Platform
Steadfast is a purposebuilt maritime software that places mooring safety and compliance at its core. It empowers ship operators to manage mooring systems and line lifecycles with precision, while seamlessly embedding global requirements such as MSMP, LMP, SOLAS 2024 updates, RISQ 3.2 standards, DBMS benchmarks, and major port authority expectations. More than a recordkeeping tool, Steadfast acts as a compliance assurance platform — strengthening risk management, ensuring audit readiness, and fostering a culture of safety and reliability across fleets.
- Precision management of mooring systems and line lifecycles.
- Built-in alignment with MSMP, LMP, and SOLAS 2024 updates.
- RISQ 3.2 standards and DBMS benchmarks embedded.
- Compliance assurance platform strengthening fleet audit readiness.
What It Does
Four jobs, one place
Capture
Log a finding once, from any inspection or audit, and carry it across every regime it touches.
Prioritise
A close-out queue ordered by risk and by what inspectors raise most often at the next port.
Track
Certificate expiry, audit windows and port state exposure across the fleet on one calendar.
Evidence
Export a pack an auditor can work through, without rebuilding it by hand each time.
Our Approach
Built from the deck up
Every feature starts as something our own team needed during an audit, an inspection or a PSC preparation. If it does not save time on board, it does not ship.
- Designed by Master Mariners and auditors, not only by developers.
- Tested against real inspection and audit workflows.
- Built for shipboard realities: narrow bandwidth, shared devices, rotating crew.
01
Discovery
Scoping Steadfast with owners, managers and superintendents. In progress.
02
Pilot
Closed trials with a small group of fleets before any public release.
03
Release
General availability, with onboarding and training support included.
