Store the files. Control access. Track activity.
Secure vessel storage
Vessel files are held in a defined cloud storage environment on AWS S3.
Authenticated access
Access to stored files is authenticated for authorised users.
Activity records
An audit trail records file activity within the managed environment.
A practical file review
Plan the way your team works with files.
Review storage, user access and activity records against your vessel’s document procedures.
Storage and ownership
Identify the file types, volumes and responsible document owners. Review how the selected storage arrangement fits the vessel.
Keep the source of truth clear when copies also exist in email or other systems.
Authorised access
Demonstrate an authorised user’s access and review how accounts are administered when people change roles or leave.
Confirm the available permissions and the administrator responsible for maintaining them.
Activity and retention
Review the file activity recorded in the product and the history available to your team.
Agree retention and recovery requirements separately; an activity trail is not a backup or an approval workflow.
Connected services
Connect abela Drive to the wider operation.
Bring vessel file storage alongside the onboard portal, fleet visibility and the infrastructure your teams use.
Plan your deployment
The right storage and access for your crew.
One Net reviews the documents, authorised users and activity records your operation needs before configuring the storage environment.
What does Drive provide?
Secure vessel-facing storage, authenticated access and an audit trail. One Net reviews the document scope and configuration with your team.
Does an audit trail guarantee compliance?
An activity record supports your compliance workflow. Your document policies, access responsibilities and applicable requirements still need to be defined.
How do we scope a deployment?
Identify the files, authorised users, storage requirements and activity records your operation needs.
An agreed document scope
The files, vessels and document owners in scope are established with your team.
Access is a defined list
Authentication and user access are reviewed during configuration, including who administers changes.
Talk to One Net
