Meet New Release APM 2025.30
We’re excited to announce the launch of APM 2025.30!
This release not only brings a range of regular improvements and enhancements of our system, but it also marks a significant achievement with the introduction of the Crew Manning module.
The new module is designed to strengthen workforce management, streamline operations, and support more efficient planning.
Better yet, the Gangway Control Monitoring in now connected with the TimeClockService Registration, enabling shore visit status to be viewed and managed directly within Rotation Planning.
Stay tuned for more details, and thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to evolve APM to meet your needs.
Adonis Personnel Manager Compatibility Matrix
Crew Manning module
The Crew Manning Module allows crew managers to request assistance from Crew Manning agents to fill selected vacant shifts. Crew managers with access to Adonis Personnel Manager will see these position requests within the Crew Manning Module and can process them by assigning suitable candidates.
Once a candidate has been proposed, the Principal or another designated crew manager can review and approve the proposition. To enable full functionality, the module must be properly configured via the Housekeeping section, and appropriate access rights must be set in the Adonis Control Center.
This module is not only useful for crew managers but also supports collaborative planning. If multiple people are involved in creating a plan, the crew manager can delegate vacant shifts to co-workers for processing.
Annotation: In this view, the user (crew manager or principal) is selecting a vacant shift and assigning it to a Crew Manning agent using the Assign to Crew Manning dialog. Once assigned, the selected shift will be linked to the chosen crew manager or agency for processing. This action helps streamline the coordination of crew placements directly from the planning interface.
Annotation: This view displays all vacant positions for which a crew member assignment is required. The crew manager can review each open shift, including vessel name, position, duration, and current assignee status. For each unassigned shift, a predefined Manning Reason can be selected if the crew manager decides not to assign a crew member.
Similarly, in the Rotation Planning Module, predefined No Crew Reasons are available, allowing planners to specify why a position remains unfilled. This ensures that all shift planning decisions are properly documented and traceable across both modules.
Payroll module
Payscale Table Preview
Previously, it was only possible to define which pay scale rates were previewed in an employee’s Personnel Details > Seniority tab at a global level. This sometimes led to incorrect previews when pay scale tables were configured with different rate assignments.
New in this release:
You can now define the pay scale rate preview per pay scale table, in addition to the global setting. This enhancement ensures that the correct rate is displayed in the Seniority tab, even when multiple pay scale configurations exist across the system.
Annotation:The screenshot shows the configuration screen under Global Options > Crew List – Personal Details, where pay scale preview formulas can be defined. With the latest update, these settings can now be overridden at the pay scale table level, giving users finer control over which rates are shown in the Seniority tab.
Annotation: This view under Global Options > Crew List – Personal Details shows the default configuration of pay scale rate formulas. These apply system-wide unless overridden at the individual pay scale table level.
Earning of Seniority
Previously, seniority was calculated based on selected activities that contributed a number of days toward the total.
New in version 2025.30:
This release introduces more advanced rules to control and refine how seniority is calculated. These new options, defined at the pay scale table level, allow users to:
Stop seniority accrual after a certain number of sick leave days (e.g., specific sick leave activity codes).
Reset accumulated seniority days at the end of each contract.
Exclude holidays (fixed, floating, or pre-holidays) from seniority calculations based on a selected calendar.
Exclude specific weekdays (e.g., weekends) from being counted as seniority days.
These enhancements ensure more accurate and policy-compliant seniority tracking.
Annotation: The screenshot displays the new configuration area in the Seniority tab of the Payscale Table Properties window. This new configuration setup provides greater flexibility for aligning seniority logic with internal HR rules or legal requirements.
Gangway Control Monitoring
In this release, gangway status updates—such as Off Board (OFB) indicators—are now visible directly in the Rotation Planning Module. This allows crew managers to quickly identify who is currently signed on but physically off the vessel (e.g., on a shore visit).
Previously, it was only possible to update a crew member's onboard/offboard status using the gangway device. Now, the Gangway Control Monitor offers enhanced flexibility:
Crew can be manually marked as off board from the “Onboard” tab (e.g., if someone forgot to swipe out).
Likewise, users can mark them as onboard if they forgot to swipe in.
These updates—whether made manually or via the gangway unit—are automatically reflected in the Rotation Planning Module.
This enhancement ensures better alignment between planned schedules and real-world crew movements.
Annotation: In this example, the OFB (Off Board) label is displayed within the shift bar of a crew member currently ashore. The presence of the steering wheel icon still indicates the person is signed on, but their physical absence from the vessel is now clearly marked. This visibility helps planners and managers maintain real-time situational awareness.
Annotation: The Gangway Control Monitor now includes tabs for Off Board, Signed On, and On Board crew. From the "On Board" tab, users can manually update a person's status to Off Board, streamlining corrections for missed gangway swipes or temporary shore leave. The system syncs this status back to the Rotation Planning Module automatically.
Telecommunication refinement
After officially saying goodbye to the Telegraph in a previous version, we’ve finally turned our attention to cleaning up the rest of our historical communication type lookup
Following multiple service requests—mostly from younger users asking “What’s a Telex?” or “Is Telefax a spell?”—we’ve decided it's time to retire these outdated telecommunication types for good.
We’ve thoroughly refined the available telecommunication types to ensure greater clarity and efficiency.

|
APM-9208 | ATPI Crewlink: Error when saving debug data | Bug | The system writes the debug data if the folder name exists, but it uses an ASCII stream instead of UTF‑8. This causes an error if the stream contains national symbols. Fixed the issue by ensuring debug data is stored with UTF-8 encoding to prevent errors on affected systems. |

The field allows defining an activity that will automatically replace the deleted travel activity.
