Closing the Execution Gap with Smarter Propulsion Control The maritime industry has made major advances in voyage optimisation, yet a persistent challenge remains: turning recommendations into consistent onboard execution. Many operators have access to sophisticated routing, speed planning, and performance tools, but real-world conditions, crew workload, and operational pressures often prevent vessels from maintaining optimal performance throughout a voyage. Why Optimisation

Ask yourself one question: do you understand your vessels’ performance accurately enough to really optimise anything? Shipping is still a world of ‘low definition’. According to our survey: Most shipping companies understand their vessels’ behaviour only “quite well” Most shipping companies have only “somewhat accurate” fuel consumption predictions Most shipping companies do not/cannot reassess voyage plans regularly, despite the constantly changing reality There is still a l

Weather routing, evolved. Adding vessel performance into the weather routing equation has an incredible effect: it turns traditional weather routing into a powerful decarbonisation tool that can make your vessels 8% more efficient on average – with almost no up-front investment and little disruption to existing processes.

At DeepSea we have a no-bullshit approach to AI. Today we are pleased to publish a new piece of research outlining a pioneering way of verifying the accuracy – and therefore utility – of a ship’s AI-generated model in real-world conditions. This is important – the more accurate the virtual model, the more efficient a ship can be made, and vice-versa. Artificial Intelligence. It can do many things: understand whalesong, compose film scripts on-demand, and decrease the fuel con
