The new Service-Workers API provides an excellent way to cache map-tiles for offline usage. Tile caching could provide the following features:

Offline-Capability: The Web-App is usable even when the internet-connection gets (temporary) lost (on the water).
Download Tiles: Is should be possible to trigger the offline-caching of a given area for later usage (on the water).
Aggressive Caching: The Tile cache could be used to relieve the tiles-server. For example it could be implemented that tiles get updated only once a month or so. (Not sure if thats a good idea!)

Here is a very simple prototype-Implementation of a caching OL based App.
