Overview
Vessels are the central entities in VesselOne. Every work order is linked to a vessel. Before creating a work order, you need at least one vessel in your system.
Adding a Vessel
Navigate to Vessels → Add Vessel or use the + Quick Add button.
- 1Enter the vessel name (required).
- 2Enter the registration number (required).
- 3Select the vessel type (e.g. Motor Yacht, Sailing Yacht, Commercial, RIB).
- 4Optionally enter the hull identification number (HIN), year, make, and model.
- 5Optionally enter the vessel's current berth or location.
- 6Click Save Vessel.
Vessel UID (VO-XXXXX)
Once saved, VesselOne automatically assigns a platform-wide unique identifier in the format VO-XXXXX (e.g. VO-00142). This UID is used across the platform to identify the vessel, appears on work orders, and will be used for QR code scanning in a future release.
The UID is permanent and cannot be changed.
Next Steps
With your first vessel added, you are ready to create your first work order.
You can add vessels at any time — including directly from the Create Work Order form if you forget to add them first.
