Company Overview
The Polynesian Directorate of Maritime Affairs (DPAM) oversees maritime safety, regulation, and career management for 5,000+ professional mariners in French Polynesia. Responsible for credentialing and compliance tracking across a 4.8 million km² maritime territory, DPAM is committed to modernizing administrative processes.
Story Snapshot
Faced with slow, paper-based career management, French Polynesia’s DPAM needed a secure, digital solution for 5,000+ professional mariners. With BCdiploma’s blockchain technology, the IHITAI platform now provides instant, fraud-proof access to maritime credentials, reducing processing times from days to minutes.
The Challenge
Before IHITAI, career management for mariners in French Polynesia was slow, error-prone, and entirely paper-based. Processing professional titles took several days, requiring manual verifications and administrative back-and-forth.
Mariners struggled to track their sea time and renewal deadlines, leading to compliance risks. Lost or fraudulent documents were also a major concern, putting both professionals and regulators at risk. A modern, secure, and fully digital solution was urgently needed.
The Solution
The IHITAI platform, powered by BCdiploma, introduced a blockchain-secured digital credential system that eliminates paperwork and automates career tracking.
Now, professional mariners can instantly retrieve their titles via a secure online platform. DPAM ensures 100% authenticity and fraud-proof certification. The system also automatically tracks renewal deadlines, sending proactive alerts to mariners, making compliance seamless.

- 5,000+ professional mariners now benefit from instant, secure access to their credentials.
