Problems we solve
The friction we hear about most often from captains, and how Vessel4you takes it off your plate.
Stuck waiting on the office
Every status change today means a phone call ashore. With the Captain Bridge you push the update yourself in seconds, from the wheelhouse.
Backloads keep slipping past
Cargo openings on your route disappear before the office sees them. Filter the bidding board to your route and grab the empty leg directly.
No tool built for the bridge
Most platforms target shoreside ops. Captain Bridge is mobile-first, glove-friendly, and the only thing on screen is what a master actually needs.
Built for the wheelhouse, not the office
A dedicated mobile bridge for the master on watch: update position, availability and backloads in real time, view incoming requests, and keep the owner in the loop without making a single phone call.
- One-tap availability toggle (available / on charter / standby)
- Publish backloads with origin, destination and dates
- See requests and bids tied to your vessel as they come in
- Works offline-first — syncs when you have signal again
- Stays signed in for the duration of your watch
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay anything to use the bridge?
No. The Captain Bridge is free for the master — your owner or broker pays for the vessel listing and you sign in to operate it.
What if I have signal problems offshore?
Bridge updates queue locally and sync the moment you regain signal. You won't lose an availability change because of a dropped connection.
Can I take a vessel off the market temporarily?
Yes — toggle availability to 'standby' or 'on charter' from the bridge. The vessel disappears from search filters until you switch it back.
