The cBerth Community
cBerth is built by seafarers, for seafarers. Every report helps a colleague arrive prepared, and makes the next call safer for all of us. Join us!
How to contribute
Submit a report
Visit a berth on the map, rate a safety or facility category 1–5, and add a comment and photos.
Verify a colleague's report
Confirm a fellow seafarer's report, with your own rating and photo. A confirmation is what moves the safety score.
Add a berth or correct a name
Missing a berth, know the coordinates or spotted a wrong name? Add it or flag the fix so the next crew finds the right quay.
Why it matters
Berth knowledge is scattered across inboxes, port logs and word of mouth. cBerth pulls it into one place, so the crew arriving next week knows what you learned this week: a broken bollard, poor lighting, an unsafe gangway. Shared knowledge is safer knowledge.
How a score is earned
A report goes live the moment you file it and starts as Preliminary. A second seafarer's confirmation, with their own rating, photo and location check, is what turns a preliminary score into an established one crews can trust. That is why verifying a colleague's report matters as much as submitting a report.
Built by seafarers
cBerth is built by the crews who use these berths. The more reliably you contribute, with reports that others keep confirming, the more your voice counts over time. The result reflects the seafarers who show up, not whoever is loudest.
Contributor levels
Contributor levels: Lookout, Watchkeeper, Beacon, Lodestar. The more your reports are confirmed, and the more you confirm others, the higher you climb, and the more your voice counts in a berth's score. Your contributor level and your public activity (reports and confirmations) are visible to other seafarers on your profile.
Use it responsibly
Photograph the berth, not people. Never upload images of identifiable individuals without their consent, and never shoot in security-restricted (ISPS) or no-photography areas. We read a photo's GPS tag only to check its location and whether it is near the berth, then strip all metadata before the photo is shown.
You’re in good company
cBerthers are filing and confirming reports along coastlines around the world, week after week. Every one of them makes the next port call a little safer.
