The app
Ashore, nobody knows what an anchor watch at 0200 feels like. Here, everybody does. Photos, video, polls and straight talk from crews on every kind of ship.
Where she is, the next port and the hour you get there. The crew on board, the ship's own chat, and the number every seafarer knows by heart: days to sign-off.
Six months together, then everyone flies home and the crew is gone. Add the ships you served on and Gangway shows who sailed on her, and when.
Before the gangway is down you know the weather, the seafarer centre, where to find wifi and a decent meal, and what the last crew thought of the place.
Your last ship. Your next one. The one your brother is on. Find any ship by name, watch her on the live map, and hear the moment she arrives or sails.
The hardest part of this job is the people waiting. Give them one code and they see where your ship is, when she is due, and the days until you walk through the door.
Early access
Honours of the sea
Crossing the line still means something. Your Sea Passport counts every mile and port call from the ship's real track, and awards the old honours the day you earn them.
Turn a badge over to see where it is earned. There is one more, for 100,000 nautical miles.
The film
Life at sea is like no other. Press play, sound on.
Who is aboard
Your ship, your crew, your ports, and a true record of every mile you sail. Free to join.
One code from your seafarer, and you always know where the ship is and how many days are left.
Your ships and your crew are already here. Claim your company page and be found by the people who sail for you.
In war and piracy areas, Gangway never shares a ship's position from a crew member's phone.
Miles, port calls and badges come from the ship's actual track. Nobody can type them in.
A member's place on board is confirmed by matching their phone's position with the ship's own.

Questions
Yes. Joining and using Gangway is free. An optional Pro plan comes later. Founding Members pay €49 once and have Pro for life.
People on the early-access list get it first, before the public launch: iPhone first, Android after. We email you when your invitation is ready.
The navy's name for the crew on board when a ship first enters service. The first 1,000 members of Gangway are Plank Owners, and the badge stays on their profile for good.
Ships broadcast their own position, and that is public everywhere. Your phone adds to it only if you switch that on, and never in war or piracy areas. Your family sees your ship only if you give them your code.
It is built for it. On Board mode keeps data use low, port pages are saved on your phone, and what you write is sent when you are back in range.
