Vessel Performance AI
Onboard intelligence platform
Pilot-ready · Offline-first · Built with masters & chief engineers

Turn noon reports intodollars saved at sea.

Vessel Performance AI detects underperformance, predicts charter-party breaches and quantifies financial impact — all onboard, with no sensors and no satellite link required.

Why ships choose us

A loop from data entry to commercial decision.

Designed to live where the ship lives — on intermittent links, on tablets, in the hands of crew with five other things to do.

Financial impact, not just data

Every deviation is translated into estimated USD/day, projected monthly. Decisions, not dashboards.

Explainable by design

Each insight states what happened, why, and the recommended action. No black boxes.

Truly offline-first

Local-first storage, manual sync, idempotent uploads — designed for VSAT and satellite links.

Captain AI advisor

Concise onboard advisor grounded in your data — answers in seconds, never hallucinates numbers.

How it works

Four steps. One workflow. Onboard.

  1. STEP 1
    Crew submits noon report

    Mobile-first form with auto-fill, inline validation and a confidence score before save. Stores locally — works fully offline.

  2. STEP 2
    Engine analyses onboard

    Compares actual vs vessel baseline curves and active charter-party terms. Flags speed and fuel deviations instantly.

  3. STEP 3
    Insights & alerts surface

    Each anomaly becomes an explainable insight with a $/day estimate and a recommended action — no scrolling through raw tables.

  4. STEP 4
    Sync to shore on your terms

    Manual sync over satellite, idempotent uploads, fleet-wide rollup for managers ashore.

Modules

Everything an MVP needs — nothing it doesn't.

A focused product surface that maps to the maritime workflow, deployable on a single vessel in days.

Signature: Insight Engine

Every issue answers three questions.

We refuse to dump charts on operators. Each anomaly is explained in plain English — what happened, why it likely happened, and what to do — with an estimated $ impact.

  • Grounded in your vessel's baselines and CP terms
  • Severity is data-driven, never a guess
  • Estimated USD/day for fuel and time loss
  • Actions are concrete — no vague advice
Fuel 8.4% above baseline

What
Consumption 28.6 MT/day vs expected 26.4 MT/day at 86 RPM.
Why
Benign weather (BF 3) — likely hull/propeller fouling.
Action
Plan hull/prop polish at next port; flag to superintendent.
Return on investment

A small percent of fuel pays for the platform many times over.

A 30,000 DWT bulker burning 25 MT/day at $600/MT spends ~$5.5M/year on fuel. We help you keep more of it onboard.

Captain AI

An advisor that reads your bridge, not the internet.

Click the floating Captain AI button on any screen. It answers questions about your vessel, charter party and alerts — using only the data we already have. Concise, professional, never speculative.

  • Streams short answers in seconds
  • Cites your latest reports & baselines
  • Surfaces actions, not paragraphs
  • Tunable to chartering / engineering / commercial roles

Onboard performance advisor
Why is fuel running high today?
Fuel is 8.4% above baseline (28.6 vs 26.4 MT/day) at 86 RPM, in BF 3.
Likely cause: hull/propeller fouling — weather isn't the driver in good conditions.
Recommendation: plan a hull/prop polish at next port; estimated impact $1,840/day.
Are we at CP risk?
No good-weather speed breach yet (SOG 13.6 kt vs contract 13.0 kt).
Watch: fuel trend — two more reports above warranty in good weather will trigger a CP fuel breach alert.
Engineered for ships

Secure, simple, ship-shape.

Per-company isolation

Row-level security on every table. Crew see their vessel; managers see their fleet — never another company's.

Role-based access

Crew, fleet manager and admin roles enforced server-side, not in the UI.

Idempotent sync

Client-generated IDs make uploads safe to retry over flaky satellite links — no duplicates.

Pilot in days

No installs, no sensors. A tablet and a browser are enough to start.

Pilot it on one vessel. See the savings on the next.
