Downloads — printable seafarer checklists and templates

Every page below is print-friendly. Tools that generate a tailored list (joining-ship, STCW, expiry tracker, scam checker) keep state locally — nothing is uploaded. Print to PDF or paper; carry one in the hold-all, one in the cabin, one in the family WhatsApp group.
