Story Snapshot
Faced with a paper-based maritime management system, DPAM needed a secure digital solution for all seafarers and recreational boaters.

Industry: Employee Training
The Challenge
Before IHITAI, TE MITI, and PAHI, the management of maritime licenses and registrations was slow, error-prone, and entirely paper-based. Inspections and renewals took several weeks. Seafarers struggled to track their time at sea and renewal deadlines, creating risks of non-compliance. Lost or fraudulent documents were also a major concern, endangering both professionals and regulators. A modern, secure, and fully digital solution was therefore urgently needed.
