Q88/Q88 Onboard - OCIMF Update/Integration Application
Q88 Onboard Users: Please note that you will only be able to view the vessels you have been granted access to.
If you have already completed the Officer Matrix on the OCIMF website, you can import that data into Q88. Additionally, the Officer Matrix can be exported to the OCIMF website to meet the requirements of various OCIMF members who use the system to access the Officer Matrix
Following the release in August 2025, the functionality for uploading your Officer Matrix to OCIMF has been transitioned to our Q88 platform. Moving forward, when submitting data to OCIMF, users are advised to select the “Submit to OCIMF” option located at the bottom of the Officer Matrix page.
Only a maximum of ten vessels may be transmitted simultaneously. This measure is implemented to minimize the likelihood of timeouts and potential errors.
Upon selecting the “Submit to OCIMF” option, you will be required to enter your OCIMF Account Number, Username, and Password to establish a secure connection and transmit the data to OCIMF.
Please be advised that the credentials you enter must be identical to those used when logging into the OCIMF platform.
The Q88-OCIMF Application for uploading your Officer Matrix to OCIMF will be discontinued as of Monday, November 3rd, 2025.

MISSING ON OCIMF PLATFORM: If the Officer Matrix for the vessel has not been entered on the OCIMF website, or if the vessel is not registered under your OCIMF login, a LOCK icon will be displayed.
