This rebrand reflects the company’s evolution, growth, and expanded service offering tailored specifically for commercial vessel and workboat operators across the UK maritime sector.
Since its inception, BoatChecks has delivered a powerful SaaS platform that enables operators of workboats, harbor vessels, passenger service vessels, USVs, CTVs, and aquaculture support vessels to meet regulatory compliance, streamline maintenance planning, and enhance crew and asset management.
The transition to Ocealis signifies a broader vision and an evolution in capability. Under its new identity, the company will place an even greater emphasis on digital transformation within commercial vessel operations, leveraging fleet-wide data, mobile technologies, and advanced analytics to support operators’ daily workflows.
Ocealis also reflects a refined brand identity that better represents the company’s maturity and its growing footprint in the commercial marine market, while reaffirming a focused commitment to serve the regulatory, teams, safety, and operational needs of commercial craft operators.
The rebrand accompanies a series of recent platform improvements, including a more intuitive user experience, enhanced flexibility, with new functionality such as bunkering records, document and certificate tracking, defect management, and crew certification monitoring.
“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.”
He 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 organizations regulated to ISM with their compliance.”
With the name Ocealis, the company adopts a brand identity designed to evoke the scope and operational complexity of commercial marine fleets, as well as the depth of the data-driven insights the platform provides, delivering safer, smarter, and cleaner maritime operations.
Existing BoatChecks customers will see a seamless transition, with services continuing uninterrupted under the new branding, reflecting Ocealis’ commitment to ongoing innovation and unsurpassed customer support.
