Smart Scheduling at Sea: Viking Line’s Roster Planning in Action

May 16, 2025

Webinar Recap and Key Takeaways
Ripple Operations hosted a live webinar spotlighting our Roster Planning Module, featuring a special client demo from Viking Line. The session provided an inside look at how the module supports day-to-day maritime operations and ensures smart, compliant scheduling for crews.
We were thrilled to welcome Peter Sjöström from Viking Line, who walked attendees through a live demo of the product in action. It was eye-opening to see how seamlessly the system flags violations in real time—whether it’s exceeding maximum work hours or breaching rest requirements. That kind of automation not only protects crew wellbeing but also helps companies like Viking Line reduce compliance risk and improve operational efficiency.
We also heard from Sigrid Kviteberg from Ripple Operations, who gave a brief overview of Ripple and our mission to modernize maritime HR. The session drew attendees from across the industry.

Why Roster Planning Matters

As demonstrated in the webinar, Ripple’s Roster Planning Module offers several tangible benefits, including:
  • Reduced Compliance Risk Automatically checks against MLC rest hour regulations and flags violations in real time.
  • Time Savings & Increased Productivity Cuts manual scheduling by hours each week, freeing planners to focus on people and performance.
  • Integration with Time & Attendance Pulls in predefined rules and actual hours worked and integrates seamlessly with payroll systems.
  • Smarter Manning Decisions Supports planning based on vessel location, passenger volume, and operational demands.
  • Robust Reporting Delivers detailed insights into work/rest compliance, overtime, and unconfirmed hours.
  • Improved Crew Satisfaction & Retention Fosters transparent, fair scheduling—boosting trust and reducing turnover.

Whether you're a fleet manager, crew planner, or maritime HR leader, this webinar is a must-watch if you're thinking about how to future-proof your scheduling processes.
