Outcomes across the maritime value chain

A cross-section of the engagements our method is built for — from predictive sanctions screening to weather-aware ETA. Client identities are anonymized and figures are illustrative of the class of outcome we target.

Predictive dark-fleet screening for a marine mutual

A top-10 P&I club (anonymized)

We rebuilt know-your-vessel screening around behavioural risk scoring, catching shadow-fleet exposure before cover was bound rather than after a sanctions listing.

Shipping & decarbonization

One compliance strategy across CII, EU ETS and FuelEU

A mid-size dry-bulk operator (anonymized)

We modelled the true cost of overlapping 2026 emissions regimes per vessel and per voyage, then found the lowest-cost compliance pathway without blanket slow-steaming.

A floating-storage signal for a crude trading desk

A commodity trading house (anonymized)

We turned purchased AIS and cargo feeds into a backtested floating-storage indicator the desk could trade against, sitting between the data vendors and the trading model.

SAR-and-AIS fusion for a fisheries enforcement agency

A national maritime agency (anonymized)

We stood up a dark-vessel detection pipeline that fuses Sentinel-1 radar with AIS, turning wide-area imagery into a short, ranked list of leads for a stretched analyst team.

Ports & terminals

Predictive ETA that beats carrier estimates for a terminal

A container terminal operator (anonymized)

We replaced unreliable carrier-reported ETAs with weather-aware arrival predictions and a 72-hour congestion forecast the berth-planning team could actually plan against.
