About SafeBERTH

SafeBERTH is a global, community-driven safety rating platform for maritime berths, ports and terminal facilities — built by and for seafarers.

Our mission

Every year, preventable accidents happen at berths due to lack of reliable safety information. Port authority reports are often incomplete, outdated, or not freely accessible. SafeBERTH changes that: we give seafarers a trusted, real-time view of berth conditions — crowdsourced from the people who know best.

Our safety scores are calculated using a transparent, manipulation-resistant algorithm that weights reports by recency, reporter trust level, and peer confirmation. A report can save a life.

Our values

Safety first

Every feature is designed to make maritime operations safer. No fluff.

Community-driven

Ratings are only as good as the seafarers behind them. Quality beats quantity.

Open & neutral

No port authority or operator can pay to improve their score. Ratings are earned.

Built for crew

Designed for seafarers at sea — offline-capable, low-bandwidth, simple to use.

Score transparency

// Bayesian safety score formula

Score = (C × m + Σ wᵢ × sᵢ) / (C + Σ wᵢ)

wᵢ = w_reporter × w_recency × w_confirmation

w_recency = 0.5 ^ (age_days / 365) // 1-year half-life

Scores are shown as "preliminary" until a berth has at least 3 verified reports.
