Q88 Dry in the Veson Platform

Q88 Dry brings centralized dry bulk vessel documentation into the Veson Platform, joining IMOS, Mail, CoCaptain, Insights, and VesselsValue in one connected experience. It gives you a cloud-based home for the particulars, certificates, questionnaires, and operational data for your fleet, covering a proprietary database of 11,000+ dry bulk vessels and 500+ searchable data fields. Instead of chasing down certificates in email threads or maintaining vessel particulars across scattered spreadsheets, you manage everything in Q88 Dry once, and that information flows out to everyone who needs it: your own team, charterers, brokers, class societies, agencies, and regulators.

If you already use Q88 Dry, you'll recognize most of what you see.

What can I do with Q88 Dry in Veson Platform?

Here's a closer look at what each Q88 Dry module offers within Veson Platform.

Questionnaires

Create and manage vessel questionnaires for your dry bulk fleet. This is one of the most used capabilities in Q88 Dry, with over 1,300 templates kept up to date. At the center of this module is the Baltic99, the industry-standard dry bulk questionnaire: complete it once and its answers automatically populate the 300+ related charterer and terminal questionnaires, so you are not re-entering the same vessel data question by question. Search particulars across the vessel registry, run advanced searches by data field, and use the vessel compare tool to evaluate vessels side by side. Because questionnaire data syncs with other Q88 Dry modules, you always work from the same current information.

Vessels

Certificates & Docs

Store, manage, and view every certificate, document, diagram, and report for your fleet in one place. Add, copy, or delete certificates and documents, group them into packages, and email them directly to counterparties. Scheduled reports and notifications alert you before certificates expire, so your compliance records stay current without manual tracking.

Officer Matrix

Keep officer and crew credentials current for every vessel in your fleet. Update the Officer Matrix online, offline, or through an integration with your crew management system — by email or web service — so certification data is always accurate and ready to share with counterparties.

Loadlines

Track loadline information for your fleet from a single overview page instead of managing records vessel by vessel. Loadline data automatically populates the relevant fields in your Baltic99 and other questionnaires, and notifications alert you whenever a vessel's active loadline changes, so your chartering data stays accurate.

Tools

Access day-to-day tools that support your dry bulk operations: manage vessels and fleets, request vessel access, and check fleet status and fleet reports. Built-in calculators for DWT/draft, distance, dates, and conversions, along with AIS vessel tracking, mooring diagrams, and an abbreviations and definitions reference, keep the details you need close at hand without switching to another system.

Search

Q88 Dry gives you a few ways to search, depending on what you're looking for. Use Vessel Search for a quick lookup by name or IMO number and to view, email, or download a vessel's Baltic99 form, Advanced Search to search the registered vessel database with custom criteria and exportable results, and Search Particulars to search within questionnaire content itself.
