Ocealis (formerly BoatChecks) is evolving its digital compliance and vessel-operation platform to greater serve the commercial marine and workboat sector.
The rebrand, announced at the Workboat Association Annual General Meeting held in Leeds, UK, reflects the growth of the UK-based platform developed by SAB Software Ltd.
Tailored specifically for commercial vessel and workboat operators across the UK maritime sector, the powerful SaaS platform enables operators of workboats, harbour vessels, passenger service vessels, USVs, CTVs, and aquaculture support vessels, to meet regulatory compliance, streamline maintenance planning, and enhance crew and asset management.
“Our rebrand to Ocealis is the natural next step in our journey,” said John Peacock, Founding Director and CEO. “We have recently experienced rapid growth, with our platform now serving many significant commercial craft operators. Ocealis will allow us to sharpen our focus, deliver more powerful tools and better reflect the breadth of our offering and the value that we bring to the commercial marine and workboat sector.”
Peacock continues, “We are working at pace to significantly improve our current system in partnership with INNOVATE UK with our updated version due to launch in the second quarter of 2026. To do this we are working with our strategic partners to introduce enhancements enabling the adoption of Ocealis to assist more complex organisations regulated to ISM with their compliance.”
Existing BoatChecks customers will see a seamless transition, with services continuing uninterrupted under the new Ocealis branding.
