A code has three parts
SY-DECK-0001
SY the vessel
DECK where on the boat
0001 its number on this list
The category is deliberately not in the code. The same wash down can be Scheduled
in March and Unscheduled after a blow — so SY-DECK-0001 is both, and you can still ask
what wash downs cost over a year. Bake the category in and that job needs two codes.
A number is never reused, even after a job is retired. Old job cards point at it.
The ten systems — where on the boat
Three lines, not one. Inboard machinery is ENG. The shell of the boat
is HULL. What turns in the water — shafts, props, cutlass bearings, rudders, anodes —
is RUN. So a propeller is RUN, a blister is HULL, a gearbox is ENG.
Cut, wax and polish is DECK; which surface it was is answered by the job's name, not the system.
The five categories — why it happened
Careful with Charter. Only the vessel actually on hire or under way. Everything
around a charter — prep, turnaround, provisioning, linen, wash downs — is Scheduled. The word
"charter" in a line is not enough: ask whether she was on hire for that work.
One job can be any of them. A vessel transfer is Scheduled to the yard, Charters to
collect guests, Upgrade for the repaint. Same job, same code — the category on the job moves the money.
Where it ends up
- Crew tick a job and log hours — one entry can cover several small jobs done in one block
- They submit the day; the code, the task and the status travel with it
- It lands on the EOD master sheet and fans out to the vessel, crew and month tabs, priced as it lands
- The job card groups by job and splits the money by category — which is the answer to "what did we spend on what"
