How it works

Predict. Sail. Prove.

Every other routing tool stops at the suggestion. We follow through to the end of the voyage and show you the receipts.

01

We Predict

Five AI agents analyze weather, fuel, emissions, safety, and trade to find your optimal route. You get a pre-voyage report with forecasts and confidence levels.

Weather-validated for first 3 days
Fuel, emissions, CII projections
Printer-ready PDF for the bridge
02

You Sail

The captain follows the optimized route. Real-time telemetry tracks actual weather, fuel consumption, and route adherence throughout the voyage.

ECDIS-compatible waypoints
Re-routing as conditions change
50+ telemetry data points per voyage
03

We Prove

After arrival, the claims report compares predicted vs actual data. Weather, fuel, emissions, route — side by side. This is your proof of value.

Audit-ready for insurers & regulators
Proven results

Verified voyage outcomes

Real routes. Real savings. Every metric documented and independently verifiable.

The report that turns routing into a track record

Every competitor says "we'll optimize your route." Only VesselFront generates a post-voyage claims report that's arbitration-ready — for insurers, charterers, and regulators.

  • Printer-Friendly Minimal color, A4-optimized. Designed for captains to carry aboard.
  • Segment Detail Break voyages into legs with per-segment accuracy data.
  • Audit-Ready Structured for CII auditors, EU ETS, and insurance claims.

Under the hood

Not a routing tool. A routing model.

Five specialized agents collaborate per voyage using neurosymbolic AI — combining ML patterns with hard-coded physical and regulatory constraints.

Neurosymbolic Reasoning

ML patterns + hard-coded physics. Every decision has an auditable chain.

Weather confidence you can see

95% accuracy days 1-3, degrading transparently. You see exactly where certainty ends — no other routing tool shows this.

4 Data Lineage

Auditable Source Lineage

Every data point traces to its source — IMO-keyed vessel records, flag state registries, classification databases, timestamped sensors. Full audit trail, no black boxes.

AI Insight Route Reasoning

Route diverts 40 nm south of original rhumb line to exploit the Benguela counter-current and avoid a 6 Bf headwind zone forecast for March 16-18. Net fuel saving offsets the added distance by 2.3x. Weather confidence: 95% for days 1-3, 88% for days 4-7.

Built for the entire value chain

Fleet managers buy it. Captains trust it.
Charterers prove it.

Different roles, same accountability.

Fleet-wide intelligence that compounds

"Your fuel budget has a nervous system now."

Avg fuel savings per voyage
  • Fuel Savings

    Documented per voyage by claims reports. Fleet of 10 or 200 — same optimization

  • CII & EU ETS

    Compliance on autopilot — CII trajectories, fuel forecasts, emissions reporting updated every 3 hours

  • Track Record

    100 voyages = 100 receipts. Present accuracy data to the board

  • Fleet Permissions

    Role-based access. Self-serve. Transparent pricing. No hardware

Switching cost: CII compliance data flows through VesselFront continuously. Switching providers mid-compliance-cycle introduces audit risk no fleet manager will accept.

Decision support that respects seamanship

"The AI shows its work. You make the call."

  • Loss Prevention

    Reduce claims frequency before disputes reach arbitration

  • Precedent Database

    Every claim processed enriches the evidence base. More data, more defensible

Flywheel: Every claim processed enriches the precedent database. More data, more defensible evidence, more P&I adoption.

Independent verification. No conflict of interest.

  • Counterfactual Analysis

    What would have happened under optimal routing — the evidence you need for large claims

  • No Conflict

    Independent from owner's routing provider. You pay for fuel — you deserve independent data

  • Demurrage Defense

    Evidence for demurrage and off-hire claims. Save $40K+ per event

  • Per-Route Pricing

    Pay per optimization. No subscription lock-in. Value before commitment

Blue ocean: No competitor offers a charterer-specific product. Thousands of active charterers globally, zero optimization tools built for their side.

  • Trust-Based Adoption

    Technology adoption in this community follows trust built over time, not pitch decks

Moat: Switching mid-cycle introduces audit risk. Start earlier and build a defensible compliance and performance record around your fleet.
