CCOM X Release 5 - 2026
Less Manual Work. More Flow.
This month is about reducing manual effort and improving flow in daily operations.
Despite May being packed with public holidays, planning days, and national celebrations that tend to keep those of us onshore away from work, we at CCOM have kept the pace up.
While we are making good progress with the department pause feature (coming next month!), this months release introduces a long‑requested way to automate running hours. On top of that, we’ve made time registration in Work & Rest significantly easier, and added several small — but noticeable — improvements to document handling and navigation.

🌟 New Features
⚙️ Import of Running Hours (Finally Automated)
This is a big one, and if you cant wait to read more about it, simply click here.
CCOM X now supports import of running hours via file upload (.DAT / .TXT) — reducing manual entry and making data handling faster and more reliable.
What’s included:
- Import of running hours directly from external systems
- Each running hour counter can be linked using an import reference field
- Department-level toggle to enable the feature
- Support for different file formats (initial focus on MCS, with flexibility for others like Kongsberg and Höglund)
Why it matters:
No more manual entry of running hours. Less risk of errors. A smoother connection between onboard systems and CCOM.
