Offline at Sea

Keep working when the connection disappears

MusterDeck is designed for vessels that cannot rely on a permanent internet connection. Crew can continue completing authorised work offline, and the platform synchronises safely when connectivity returns.

How offline works

Secure by design

Work completed offline is stored in the browser's local application storage on the device. On reconnection, queued changes are uploaded through MusterDeck's scoped gateway, where the user's active assignment and permissions are revalidated before data is accepted. The public marketing website itself requires an internet connection — the offline capability belongs to the authenticated MusterDeck application.
