Maritime AI
Use Cases

Expert analyzes: nearest ports with engine repair facilities, tug availability and ETA, weather window for safe tow, emergency anchorage options, salvage considerations, crew safety protocols, notification requirements (flag state, P&I, charterer), and recommended priority action plan with commercial implications.

Expert provides: nearest ports with medical facilities, helicopter evacuation feasibility given weather, coordination with MRCC procedures, telemedicine options via Radio Medical, alternative rendezvous with fast rescue craft, crew first aid protocols, and notification checklist.

Copilot provides: immediate COLREGs applicable rules, vessel priorities and responsibilities, VTS communication procedures, recommended course alterations, and documentation requirements for logbook.

Expert analyzes: Suez route (distance, transit time, canal fees, piracy risk Gulf of Aden/Red Sea), Cape route (distance, weather patterns, fuel consumption), current bunker prices at bunkering ports, weather forecast for both routes, commercial comparison with break-even analysis, and recommended route with justification.

Expert provides: Great Circle and Rhumb Line distances, recommended waypoints, weather routing guidance, high-risk piracy areas (HRA) entry/exit points, ECDIS passage plan checklist, SOLAS V requirements, appraisal/planning/execution/monitoring framework.

Copilot instantly provides: Singapore-Rotterdam (8,350nm via Suez), Singapore-Hamburg (8,520nm), Singapore-Antwerp (8,410nm), approximate transit times at 15/18/22 knots, and canal transit considerations.

Expert analyzes: GENCON laytime provisions (Clause 6), laytime commencement criteria (NOR acceptance, berth availability), interruptions (weather, shifting), time counting calculations with hour-by-hour breakdown, demurrage rate applicability, burden of proof requirements, and commercial negotiation strategy.

Expert provides: detailed comparison table, risk allocation analysis (NYPE: owner retains vessel control; Bareboat: charterer assumes full control), maintenance obligations, insurance requirements, commercial implications, tax considerations, and recommended form based on operational requirements.

Expert provides: latest BDI/BCI/BPI/BSI rates, historical trends, current market drivers (China demand, iron ore/coal flows, fleet supply), seasonal patterns, forward freight agreement (FFA) indicators, and outlook for Q4-Q1.

Expert provides: Paris MoU focus areas, top 10 deficiency categories (safety equipment, fire safety, ISM, navigation, MARPOL), pre-arrival inspection checklist by SOLAS chapter, documentation requirements, crew readiness brief, and detention risk mitigation strategies.

Copilot provides: SECA SOx limit (0.1%), compliance options (ULSFO, scrubber), fuel changeover procedures and timing before SECA boundary, BDN verification, scrubber operation checklist, logbook entries required, and sample logs.

Expert provides: ISM Code requirements by element, common non-conformity areas (documentation, SEMS, root cause analysis, management review), audit preparation timeline, crew interview preparation, SMS manual review checklist, and objective evidence requirements.

Professor provides: Progressive teaching with chapters (Bridge Equipment, Navigation, Voyage Planning, Watchkeeping), detailed explanation of each equipment (ECDIS, radar, AIS, VDR), carriage requirements by vessel type/size, operational procedures, real-world examples of compliance, case studies of non-compliance incidents, and chapter-by-chapter questions to verify understanding.

Professor teaches: Earth geometry basics → Great Circle definition (shortest distance on sphere) → Rhumb Line definition (constant bearing) → Mathematical differences → Practical implications (distance savings vs constant course) → When to use which → Calculation methods → Real chart examples → Verification questions.

Professor provides: STCW Convention background → Rest hour provisions (max 72 hours/7 days, max 14 hours/24 hours, min 10 hours/24 hours) → Calculation methods → Watchkeeping schedules examples → Exception scenarios → Non-compliance consequences → Case study: rest hour violation and PSC detention → Practice calculations.

Professor teaches: Chapter 1 - CSS Code structure → Chapter 2 - Container stowage principles → Chapter 3 - Securing calculations (GM, stack weights, accelerations) → Chapter 4 - Lashing equipment requirements → Real-world case study: container stack collapse incident → Lessons learned → What-if scenarios: extreme weather → Practical lashing plan development.

Copilot generates: professionally formatted arrival report including vessel particulars, ETA, cargo details, last 10 ports, crew list summary, dangerous goods declaration (if any), waste disposal requirements, and any special requirements. Ready to send.

Expert analyzes: baseline consumption benchmarking, potential causes (hull fouling +15-20%, engine performance degradation, suboptimal trim, weather routing), diagnostic procedures (ME performance curves, propeller slip, hull inspection planning), efficiency improvement options (hull cleaning, engine tuning, trim optimization, speed optimization), and cost-benefit analysis.

Expert provides: current bunker prices at all three ports (Singapore $485/MT, Fujairah $478/MT, Malta $495/MT), quality reputation at each port, deviation costs for Fujairah/Malta routing, total cost comparison, delivery time and procedures, recommended stem port and quantity with justification, and quality testing requirements.

Copilot provides: current weather pattern, low-pressure systems tracking, 5-day forecast along intended track, significant wave height forecasts, wind speed/direction, recommended weather routing adjustments if needed, and advice on monitoring frequency.
