Maritime & Shipping

Decisions that move world trade.

A route. A class of vessel. A port investment. A bunker strategy. Each decision shapes global trade flows, sanctioned-cargo exposure, emissions and the cost of every container that touches your network for the next two decades.

World model · Maritime & Shipping

Helios Brain for Maritime & Shipping.

Maritime decisions outlive every executive who signs them. A vessel ordered today operates for twenty-five years across geopolitical, regulatory and climate regimes nobody can name yet. The discipline of rehearsing fleet and route decisions before committing is the difference between a flexible book and a stranded one.

What this world model rehearses

6 decisions, tested before they are made.

01

Fleet renewal under fuel-transition uncertainty

Test LNG, methanol, ammonia and dual-fuel fleet mixes against multiple decarbonisation paths. See where stranded-asset risk concentrates, where the order book holds up, where regulation breaks the case.

02

Routing and bunkering strategy

Optimise vessel routing and bunker calls against fuel prices, sanctions, weather windows, canal tolls. Rehearse the season before it is locked in.

03

Port and terminal investment

Project throughput, dwell time and modal-share effects for proposed terminal capex. See which berths actually unlock value across multiple trade-flow futures.

04

Charter market exposure

Test charter contract structures against historical and synthetic freight-rate cycles. Identify the duration and exposure mix that holds up under stress.

05

Emissions and CII compliance

Run vessel-level operating profiles against CII trajectories. See which vessels become non-compliant, when, and at what cost to redeploy.

06

Sanctions and counterparty screening

Simulate exposure to high-risk counterparties under multiple sanctions regimes. Identify the routes, charters and customers where exposure is real versus where it is merely formal.

Hands on · who runs this loop

Three desks, one substrate.

Fleet Director
01

Tests a 25-year fleet bet.

Fuel transition paths, vessel classes, charter mixes simulated end-to-end.

Outcome
Order book that holds across decarbonisation regimes.
Head of Operations
02

Optimises the season before it locks in.

Routing, bunkering, weather and canal constraints layered as live inputs.

Outcome
Voyage economics defended per leg, not per quarter.
Compliance Officer
03

Defends CII and FuelEU exposure.

Per-vessel emissions trajectories with provenance to the source ledger.

Outcome
Regulator and chartering counterparties answered with evidence.
Compliance context

Built for the regulations that govern your sector.
