Digitize Ship & Maritime Logbooks to Excel
Convert deck logs, engine room logs, and oil record books from paper to spreadsheet — with handwriting recognition tuned for real maritime records.
Supported maritime log types
Deck logs
Watch entries, courses, weather, and position fixes captured row-for-row.
Engine room logs
Fuel readings, RPMs, pressures, and temperatures preserved as numeric columns.
Oil record books
MARPOL-style entries digitized with dates, operations, and quantities intact.
GMDSS radio logs
Time, frequency, and message columns extracted for compliance archives.
Bridge logs
Standing orders, night orders, and voyage remarks turned into searchable text.
Built for compliance and audits
Keep digital records aligned with IMO and STCW recordkeeping needs. A searchable spreadsheet history makes inspections, port state control visits, and internal audits straightforward — every entry becomes a filterable row instead of a page you have to flip to.
How it works
1. Upload a photo or scan
Drop in a photo or scan of your logbook page — single page or a full binder.
2. AI extracts rows, columns, and handwriting
Xcelify reads every entry and preserves your table structure exactly.
3. Download Excel or CSV
Get a clean .xlsx or .csv ready for reporting, review, or archival.
Handwriting accuracy for real logbooks
Xcelify's AI is trained on real-world handwritten entries — the kind of watch-officer scrawl and mixed print that generic OCR gives up on. Dates, positions, courses, and remarks columns stay intact, and low-confidence cells are flagged so you can spot-check before export instead of proofreading every line.
Frequently asked questions
Can it read handwritten entries?
Yes. Xcelify's OCR is tuned for handwritten maritime logs — cursive watch entries, block-letter position fixes, and mixed styles all extract cleanly into rows.
Which maritime log types are supported?
Deck logs, engine room logs, oil record books, GMDSS radio logs, and bridge logs are supported out of the box. Custom formats also work — the AI adapts to your columns.
What formats do I get?
Clean .xlsx spreadsheets or .csv files, with dates, positions, weather, and remarks columns preserved exactly as they appear on the page.
Can I upload multiple pages at once?
Yes. Upload an entire voyage's worth of logbook pages in one batch and Xcelify stitches them into a single spreadsheet in the correct order.
