Digital Master/Pilot Exchange for Modern Ports

Eliminate paper forms, reduce errors, and gain real-time oversight of pilot operations

The Challenge with Paper-Based MPX

Time-Consuming

Pilots spend 10-15 minutes per job manually copying vessel data from screens to paper forms. Time that could be spent on safety-critical tasks.

Error-Prone

Manual transcription of critical safety data (draft, UKC, tidal information) introduces risk. A single digit wrong could have serious consequences.

No Oversight

Paper forms filed away mean harbour management has no real-time visibility of pilot operations. Compliance records are hard to search and audit.

Secure, Compliant, Auditable

Built with enterprise-grade security from day one

Is our data secure?

Yes. eMPX uses enterprise-grade encryption (TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest), SOC 2 certified hosting providers, and multi-factor authentication. All data hosted in UK/EU data centers.

Full security documentation available for your IT team to review.

Can this disrupt our port systems?

No. eMPX integrates in read-only mode only - it cannot modify, delete, or write any data to your port management systems. It retrieves data the same way a pilot viewing a screen would.

eMPX can be switched off instantly without any impact on your existing systems.

Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes, fully compliant. We collect only operationally necessary data, provide clear privacy controls, and store data exclusively in UK/EU regions. Data Processing Agreements provided with every contract.

Will this work with our port systems?

eMPX is designed to integrate with modern port management systems. During our discovery phase, we assess compatibility with your specific setup at no obligation.

Most ports use systems we can integrate with. If yours is unique, we'll discuss options.

Who owns the data?

You do. All MPX records created at your port belong to you. Export your data anytime in standard formats (PDF, CSV, JSON). No lock-in.

What if we need an independent security audit?

We welcome third-party security reviews. Source code available for review under NDA. We can also commission an independent audit if required for your procurement process.
