Turn noon reports intodollars saved at sea.
Helmsman By Sailorscope detects underperformance, predicts charter-party breaches and quantifies financial impact — all onboard, with no sensors and no satellite link required.

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.
Every deviation is translated into estimated USD/day, projected monthly. Decisions, not dashboards.
Each insight states what happened, why, and the recommended action. No black boxes.
Local-first storage, manual sync, idempotent uploads — designed for VSAT and satellite links.
Concise onboard advisor grounded in your data — answers in seconds, never hallucinates numbers.
Four steps. One workflow. Onboard.
- STEP 1Crew submits noon report
Mobile-first form with auto-fill, inline validation and a confidence score before save. Stores locally — works fully offline.
- STEP 2Engine analyses onboard
Compares actual vs vessel baseline curves and active charter-party terms. Flags speed and fuel deviations instantly.
- STEP 3Insights & alerts surface
Each anomaly becomes an explainable insight with a $/day estimate and a recommended action — no scrolling through raw tables.
- STEP 4Sync to shore on your terms
Manual sync over satellite, idempotent uploads, fleet-wide rollup for managers ashore.
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.

Built for the bridge — not the boardroom.
The latest capabilities in Helmsman by Sailorscope, rolled out to every pilot fleet.
HMAC-signed JSON ingest with an NMEA 0183 adapter so existing bridge equipment streams directly into your performance loop.
Per-field mismatch summary with drill-down, severity and a 0–100 data-confidence score on every vessel.
Rolling regression projects fuel and speed 1, 3, 7 and 14 days out — with R² and confidence bands.
Add Helmsman to the home screen on bridge tablets — full-screen, offline-first, fast cold-start.
5-day offline session with PBKDF2-hashed PIN — crew keep working without satellite.
Crew accounts are pinned to one registered device; admins get a multi-device warning banner.
Noon report drafts persist locally between sessions, with a 20-step rollback history per vessel.
Compare vessels, export dashboards, and surface CP risk across your whole fleet from one screen.
Screens crew actually use at sea.
A look at the noon report, fleet dashboard and reconciliation surfaces — all working offline, all explainable.
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
- 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.
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.
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
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.
Watch: fuel trend — two more reports above warranty in good weather will trigger a CP fuel breach alert.
Secure, simple, ship-shape.
Row-level security on every table. Crew see their vessel; managers see their fleet — never another company's.
Crew, fleet manager and admin roles enforced server-side, not in the UI.
Client-generated IDs make uploads safe to retry over flaky satellite links — no duplicates.
No installs, no sensors. A tablet and a browser are enough to start.
