The Portvolution app
Your whole sea career, in your pocket.
This site is the public deck. The Portvolution app is where seafarers keep their working life in order — and where the port data you see here comes from.
Log port calls as they happen.
Arrival, departure, loading, discharging, bunkering — every port call recorded, with the whole voyage at a glance.
Your sea service, counted for you.
Total sea time, ports and countries visited, your global footprint on a map — and your records exported to PDF.
Check the port before you arrive.
Scores, reviews, Community Pulse and the Botvolution Guide — the full port intel, right next to your voyage.
Rate the ports you call at.
Score 17 categories and leave a review. Your experience becomes the intel for the next crew.
Talk to crews in any port.
A group chat for every port, open anytime — even before you arrive. The tag next to each name shows who's in port or has been there, worked out from their own logbook, never from GPS.
Built by seafarers, for seafarers — with privacy first.
Portvolution is made by people with years at sea behind them. We built the tool we wished we’d had on board — and built it to respect your data.
No location tracking.
Port status in chat comes from your own logbook, not your phone's GPS.
Moderated before it's public.
Reviews and messages are screened before they appear, and anyone can report what slips through.
Your data, your call.
Delete your account anytime. What you've posted stays useful for others — anonymised, without your name on it.
Know a port well?
Seafarers rate ports from the app. Not at sea? If you live near a port, work there or visit often, you can write a review right here on the website.
