Changelog

Visible improvements to DockBook, newest first. iOS, Android, and web ship from the same codebase, so each entry covers all platforms unless noted.

v3.0.0 · October 2026

DockBook now covers the ILA, plus In port and a long list of pay fixes.

ILA NEW: 174 ILA locals: the East and Gulf Coasts from Maine to Texas, the Great Lakes, Puerto Rico and Eastern Canada. NEW: Each shift is priced by your own port's agreement: start times, overtime windows, meal hours, holidays, guarantees, differentials and penalties. NEW: Where your agreement is not public, you enter your rate. NEW: Your agreement in plain words, with the clauses cited. Free. NEW: MILA Health, Container Royalty and Money Purchase trackers on the October contract year, the NYSA GAI Tracker, and your port's own fund and pension screens.

IN PORT NEW: Ships docked at your terminals now, and when they leave, in Vessel Intel. NEW: Tap Ship Name on Add Shift and today's docked ships come first.

BCMEA PAY FIXED: The Extension box is 2x again. Add Shift now tells you when an extension pays 1.5x and goes in Overtime. FIXED: Vancouver members were shown New Westminster's travel hours, up to an hour and a half too many a trip. FIXED: Journeyman trades were paying nothing instead of the $2.50 certified differential. NEW: Cargo pay, "Paid as" for Custom shifts, and maternity, parental and Weekly Indemnity leave.

PMA PAY FIXED: A mechanic's holiday was paid at the mechanic rate instead of the basic longshore rate. FIXED: Switching to PMA could save your experience hours as 0, which priced Class A and B members at the bottom row.

EVERYWHERE FIXED: Saving on a weak signal no longer fails. Your shift shows at once and uploads when the connection catches up. NEW: A What's new card after each update.

v2.4.1 · September 2026

Slip scanning, partners, and a set of pay fixes.

SCANNING NEW: Photograph your ducket (Local 13) or your dispatch slip (Local 502) and the Add Shift form fills itself in. NEW: Reading happens on your phone. The slip is not uploaded. NEW: Both slips are read when you and your partner are dispatched together.

PARTNERS NEW: Check in as partners and your partner's worked hours show on your calendar. Hours only, never pay.

THE BOARD NEW: The double-back peg, filled in from Local 13's list, and the White Board.

BOSSES AND FOREMEN NEW: Scan bay sheets, several pages in one pass, kept with that day's shift. PMA bosses and Local 514.

PAY FIXED: A second job in the same day was booking 16 paid hours instead of 8. FIXED: A night job after a day job was booked as overtime instead of straight time. FIXED: Nineteen BCMEA Article 17 job differentials were paying zero. FIXED: Personal leave now counts toward welfare qualifying hours. FIXED: Imported shifts for a PMA member were priced on the Canadian agreement.

EVERYWHERE NEW: Duplicate shifts on a day are flagged and fixed in one tap. NEW: Rename a job across every shift that uses it. FIXED: Opening the app and logging a shift with no connection. FIXED: A failed ship photo upload now reports the actual reason.
