Multimodal fleet data
We ingest live AIS feeds, satellite data, vessel particulars, and real-world reports — giving us a proprietary multimodal dataset that no pure-software competitor can replicate.
Trained on millions of data points, integrating 22 million hexagons of variable size for the most sophisticated sea grid in the world — vertically integrated from sensor to decision, auditable end-to-end, and validated by the operators who actually sail the ships.
Most routing is a black box. A recommendation appears on a screen with no trace of how it was made.
The VF Engine is built the opposite way — every recommendation traces back to a named weather source, a named vessel curve, and a named constraint. Auditable end-to-end.
Five engineering decisions that make the VF Engine an infrastructure layer instead of another routing dashboard.
We ingest live AIS feeds, satellite data, vessel particulars, and real-world reports — giving us a proprietary multimodal dataset that no pure-software competitor can replicate.
Every data point traces back to its source — so our models are auditable, and every customer knows exactly what is driving the recommendation. No black boxes in the loop.
Our ETL pipeline enforces schema validation and applies domain-specific cleaning rules built from actual vessel operations across the oceans — not generic ML preprocessing borrowed from other domains.
We validate against ground truth from live pilot programs with major operators. Our benchmarks are not academic leaderboards — they are real-world voyage outcomes: fuel burned, ETA accuracy, weather avoidance, regulatory compliance.
Natural-language justifications for masters, charterers, and auditors. Audit-ready outputs for CII, EU ETS, and FuelEU Maritime compliance reporting — every recommendation carries its full citation chain.
RESTful API with full OpenAPI 3.0 specification. Embed route intelligence into any system — no dashboard required.
VesselFront's intuitive API and documentation make it easy to get started, and easy to iterate. One endpoint, five agents, sub-second response.
