Anschütz eLog is an electronic logbook for ships. It enables automated and digitized logbook entries that eliminate the cost and effort of paper logbook logistics while guaranteeing high data quality and global data access.
Integrated with data exchange services, voyage analytics systems and decision-support solutions, eLog enables the transition of a formerly manual and error-prone process of data collection and transfer into a single-sourced digital process chain for maritime data.

Anschütz eLog - How it works
From paper to digital
High-quality digital data
All traditional logbook entries can be made and viewed. The user enters new logbook entries with consistently high quality, regardless of disruptive factors such as fatigue, stress or weather. Incorrect entries can be edited, the change is displayed in a traceable manner. Vessel particulars can be set, engine and equipment can be configured. eLog consists of a small gateway computer and a web browser application. The scope of eLog may vary from ship to ship. eLog is independent of the manufacturer of the AIS or the navigation systems.

eLog is a class and flag-approved logbook
Stay compliant with our class and flag approved logbook. eLog is class approved by DNV and accepted by major flags to be used instead of paper logbooks. The list of flag states that allow replacing paper logbooks with the eLog electronic logbook is continuously growing. Contact our team to clarify your specific request.
eLog as a data service
Transforming numerous manual data processes into a digital chain of data for exchange, processing and analysis simplifies reporting and delivers valuable voyage insights in real time for shore-based stakeholders.
Integration of eLog with SOFeXChange by Osiris
Records entered into the eLog are automatically captured on the statement of facts (SOF) and provided to shore-based voyage stakeholders in real time.
Integration of eLog with Podium5 by StratumFive
Real-time data from the eLog is transferred to and analyzed by the voyage informatics platform to build a broader, more reliable picture of voyage performance or efficiency.
Integration of eLog with the s-Suite by StormGeo
The s-Suite uses eLog data to ensure compliance, provide voyage insights, increase transparency between ship and shore-based users, and support a ‘completely paperless’ ship governance strategy.
Integration of eLog with FleetMon by Jakota Cruise Systems
AIS data around the vessel is tracked, to enable vessel's owner analyzing own operation with best possible quality based on live or historical data.

Envisioning a single-sourced maritime information chain
Data from on board ships is an extremely important commodity in the maritime world. Shipowners, ship managers or operators need this data and derived information in their communication with various stakeholders, such as carriers, charterers, cargo owners or ports. They also need it to meet reporting obligations, to provide evidence to insurance companies, classification societies or authorities like port state control, or to make their own decisions about improvements to the ship's performance and safety.
