Maritime & Shipping

Compare alternatives. Replan within constraints.

A disruption in one part of the network changes the economics of the whole voyage. Explore alternative routes, port calls and sourcing options before committing your fleet.

Helios across your ecosystem

Fleet intent. Vessel reality. Clear command.

Shoreside leaders compare fleet and commercial options. The master and qualified bridge team retain their own navigation and safety responsibilities at sea.

Decision authority

Fleet leadership & the vessel master

Fleet leaders authorize commercial and resource plans; the master retains overriding responsibility for vessel safety and navigation.

Helios supports

Compare voyage, port and sourcing alternatives without replacing professional command authority.

Tablet on the bridge

A shared plan, with judgment on board.

Weather, arrival windows and vessel condition inform the next recommendation. The bridge team exercises its qualified authority; no shoreside software recommendation overrides the master's safety judgment.

Appropriate scope: Navigate and operate the vessel under maritime responsibilities and approved procedures.
Review & escalation: The master for navigation and safety; fleet leadership for commercial and resource changes.
Evidence returned: Weather, arrival estimates, vessel condition and port constraints.

Illustrative ecosystem and interfaces, not a live deployment. Roles, integrations and approval limits are defined with each organization.

From question to decision

See the options. Understand the consequences.

Compare viable routes and port calls

Ground the comparison in your data, your objective and your constraints.

Understand cost and service trade-offs

Make dependencies and assumptions visible before you commit.

Replan around the next disruption

Carry the chosen path into a plan your team can review and act on.

Where to start

The decisions worth rehearsing.

Potential applications, scoped to your data, priorities and operating environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What it takes to start

A useful pilot starts with the right foundations.

Agree a bounded decision, a baseline and acceptance criteria before introducing operational use. Scope and timing depend on your data, governance and intended application.

The data

Voyage, port-window and vessel-availability history
Weather, fuel and commercial constraints
Prior diversions, exceptions and decision records

The people

Fleet planning and commercial sponsor
Master or bridge representative and port operations
Maritime safety, data and compliance owners

The evaluation

Feasibility across port and vessel constraints
Commercial trade-offs under reviewed weather scenarios
Preservation of the master's overriding safety authority

Before operational use

Validated maritime information sources
Explicit commercial versus navigational decision rights
Human review, communications and contingency procedures

When Helios should not act

Knowing when to stop is part of the decision.

Missing evidence, uncertain conditions and absent authority require different responses. A recommendation must not silently become an action.

The signal

Port, weather or vessel evidence is stale or conflicting.

Appropriate response: Request confirmation before presenting a voyage change as actionable.
Responsible review: Fleet information owners and vessel command
Before the path resumes: Current conditions are verified by the responsible professionals.

The boundaries matter

Your rules are part of the model.

Regulatory context shapes how a system should be designed and reviewed. Your legal, compliance and domain teams remain part of that process.
