Track onboard defects from initial identification through to completion with a clear, structured Excel register designed for yacht owners and crew.
The Absolute Marine Excel Defect Register provides one organised place to record defects, assign responsibility, monitor progress and retain a clear history of completed work. It helps prevent issues from being forgotten, duplicated or left unresolved during routine operation, maintenance periods and refit projects.
Each defect can be recorded with its location, affected equipment or system, description, date identified, priority, assigned person, required action, target date and completion details.
The register includes colour-coded status tracking:
New — newly identified and awaiting action
In Hand — work has started or arrangements are underway
Completed — defect has been closed out
Built-in dropdown menus make the register quick and consistent to update, while summary counters provide an immediate overview of open, new, in-hand and completed defects.
Ideal for
Recording defects identified during machinery rounds or inspections
Tracking maintenance and repair actions
Managing outstanding work during a refit or maintenance period
Assigning responsibility and target completion dates
Monitoring defects across different vessel locations and systems
Keeping a permanent record of completed work
Supporting clear communication between owners, crew and contractors
Digital product: Microsoft Excel workbook supplied for personal use on one vessel.
