Don't build your libraries by hand. Upload a spec sheet, a manual, or an inventory spreadsheet, and MBN reads it into your Equipment and Parts libraries, with opening stock, in minutes.
Build your equipment and parts libraries in one pass, from a document.
An approved vessel organization, and a spec sheet, manual, or inventory file (PDF, image, .xlsx, or .csv).
About 5 minutes.
Reflects Import (List Assistant), live August 2026 (app v1.39).
From your Equipment library, choose Import. It's the fast way to build both libraries at once, instead of adding items one by one.
The Import option on the vessel's Equipment library.
Drop in a spec sheet or manual (a PDF or a photo), or an inventory spreadsheet (.xlsx or .csv). One page or a hundred, MBN reads the whole thing.
Uploading a spec sheet or spreadsheet to the import screen.
The engine extracts your equipment with their parts nested underneath, the way they actually relate. Nothing is saved yet: the parse just proposes what it found, for you to check.
The parsed result: equipment with parts nested, ready to review.
Tick what to keep, fix anything, fill any required fields, and set opening stock where you want it. You stay in control: nothing is written until you confirm, and it never invents a value.
Curating the parsed equipment and parts before creating them.
Confirm, and MBN writes it all at once: your equipment, each part linked to the equipment it belongs to, and any part you gave a unit and quantity lands already tracked, with its opening count on the record.
The created Equipment and Parts libraries after an import.
Your libraries are built. Attach manuals to your equipment so they travel into tenders, start tracking your spares, or raise your first tender against what you just imported.
