AI agents and software for maritime and shipping companies

Port agencies, ship managers, charterers and freight forwarders run on email threads, PDFs and spreadsheets.

What maritime and shipping companies need

Where the money leaks

Our document-to-structured-data pipeline was built for hospital contracts and claims; charter parties.

  • Port-call coordination across agents, terminals and owners is manual and time-critical
  • Laytime and demurrage calculations start from statements of fact buried in PDFs
  • Charter party clauses differ per fixture; disputes come from what was missed
  • Crew documents and certificates expire on schedules nobody tracks centrally
  • Bunker, port and agency invoices arrive in every format and get reconciled late
AI agents we can build for maritime and shipping

Six agents, each with a human gate and an audit trail.

AGENT 01

Port-call coordinator

Reads arrival notices, pro-forma DAs and terminal updates; keeps every party on one timeline and escalates delays.

AGENT 02

Laytime & demurrage agent

Extracts statement-of-fact events, applies the charter's laytime terms and drafts the demurrage claim with a rationale trail.

AGENT 03

Charter party extraction

Turns each fixture into structured clauses — laycan, laytime, demurrage rate, notices — searchable and comparable.

AGENT 04

Crew compliance agent

Tracks STCW certificates, medicals and visas per seafarer; flags expiries before crew change, not after.

AGENT 05

Invoice reconciliation

Matches bunker, port and agency invoices to voyage budgets and DAs; routes exceptions to a human.

AGENT 06

Enquiry-to-quote agent

Answers cargo and chartering enquiries on email or WhatsApp with a first quote drafted from your rate logic.

Do you have maritime domain experience?

We have built document-heavy revenue systems in healthcare and sales; for maritime we pair that engineering with your operators, who know the trade.

Which systems can the agents connect to?

Email (Outlook, Gmail), shared drives, ERP and accounting exports, and any system with an API or a CSV export.

How is accuracy controlled on demurrage claims?

Every extracted event carries its source page and a confidence score; the claim is drafted, never sent, until an operator approves it.
