Travel Documents

The most important documents to monitor seafarers' safe recruitment are the passport, the visas, and the seaman book.

These documents are critical, and for this reason, no mistyped information is allowed; otherwise, the seafarer will have a problem in embarkation from the authorities.

Possessing and recruiting seafarers from more than 12 nationalities, the possibility of mistyping or non-successful authenticity of such documents may cause problems. Thus, we have applied specific AI recognition APIs that are specialized for reading these documents for their authenticity and for acquiring the data found in these documents.

From Sourcing and Application Stage

The prerequisites of a seafarer applying to any network office of Elvictor Group or online are the provision of the scanned documentation of his passport, USA Visa (if holder), or other Visas (that the seafarer is holder) and seaman book.

Information Acquisition, Accuracy, Authentication

Elvictor has integrated its ecosystem with a passport API and with visas API. These APIs acquire the information of any passport and any visa. At the same time, these travel documents are authenticated through these APIs by default.

These documents contain much information, and in the past, data-entry officers were typing this information. This information is automatically acquired and injected into Elvictor's SaaS ecosystem's seaman file, with accuracy, without a hassle, and authenticated.

Pending Travel Documents

In case the passport, any visa, or seaman book is pending, expired, expiring, or under revalidation, each travel document's status is reported to the Ship Manager's Crew Department online and with email reports.

Whatever operation is pending is reported upon the change of status.

Seafarer Notified

Whatever is pending, expired, expiring, or under revalidation, the seafarer is informed automatically through Elvictor's ecosystem, and a specific coded HTML5 link is communicated to him.

The interactive and reactive web page from the link allows the seafarer to confirm the notification and interact through this web page. The seafarer can inform, book an appointment with our network office or upload the document (revalidated or missing). All parties are notified instantly.

Advantages

This strategy through technology we have applied into Elvictor’s ecosystem provides us the following advantages:

Correct naming of the seafarers in the system, allowing ticketing and other logistics to be accurate that are dependent on the "true name" of the seafarer

No human interaction, thus no time wastage for data entry and logistics for authenticating these documents.

Imminent provision of such documents since the proposal to the Ship Manager's crew department

Matching with requirements set by the Ship Manager

Saving potential expenses by finding holders of valid visas, for example.

Proactive and
risk-free operations.

Dashboard signaling expiration, need for revalidation or re-issuance, if these travel documents are valid for the next sixteen months, to safeguard upcoming recruitment and be above the minimum requirements set by authorities for visas passports that should not expire in less than six months.

Takeaways

Philosophy

Provide the travel documents' data with security, ease, accuracy, and authentication.

Proactiveness

Since sourcing and application stages, travel documents, and their information are held, should same information about the statuses of validity or holding.

Parametric Customization

The parametric customization may be for which status of the "travel documents" process the Ship Manager's Crew Department may want to be informed.

Best Practice

The best practice for this stage of recruitment is the use of artificial intelligent APIs that acquire information and authenticate these documents. The pros of this procedure by using the APIs is that through robotic process automation, it provides to Elvictor's dashboards future expirations or documents, current missing essential travel documents, scheduled for issuance revalidation of these, and validity within the contract period of the lineup seafarer.

Paperless Operations

Scanned documentation upon application is provided. Simultaneously, the information acquired and authenticated automatically through the APIs are in full digital format and within database procedures.

Documented Evidence

The acquired information through the APIs and visualization of such information provide documented evidence. Hence the dynamic dashboard forecast controls of validity and possession of such travel documents allow a superior audit view.
