LJ Yacht & Commercial Services has been named Runner-Up in the FSB & HSBC Innovation Awards 2026, recognising the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and digital transformation within the maritime industry.

The recognition highlights the success of eLogbooks, LJ’s digital logbook platform developed to modernise onboard record-keeping, compliance and operational reporting for commercial vessels and yachts.

Built using real-world operational insight gained through years of working closely with captains, crew and vessel managers, eLogbooks has been designed to simplify daily administrative tasks while improving accuracy, accessibility and transparency across vessel operations.

The platform enables users to securely record, manage and remotely access critical vessel data, helping reduce paperwork and improve communication between ship and shore teams.

The award also reflects LJ Yacht & Commercial Services’ broader approach to supporting the industry’s transition towards digitalisation. Alongside its long-established expertise in custom paper logbooks, the company offers flexible paper, digital and hybrid solutions tailored to the varying operational needs of different vessels and fleets.

With more than 650 clients already using the platform daily, eLogbooks is increasingly being adopted as a practical tool for improving compliance management, streamlining onboard workflows and supporting more informed operational decision-making.

“Being recognised by FSB and HSBC reinforces our vision to continuously innovate and evolve alongside our clients’ needs,” said Liz Jackson, CEO and Founder of LJ Yacht & Commercial Services. “As we look ahead, we remain focused on further developing our digital capabilities while maintaining the trusted service and quality LJ is known for.”

The recognition comes at a time when the maritime sector is facing increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burden and adopt more connected digital systems across fleet operations.

LJ Yacht & Commercial Services says it remains focused on developing solutions that are both practical and accessible for users across the industry.

The company continues to expand its digital offering as demand grows for smarter and more efficient compliance solutions across the maritime sector.
