Shipping Lines & Fleet Operations

Every ship, voyage and charter connected, at sea and ashore.

Voyage, fuel, charter and emissions data sit with different teams; ship-shore links are patchy.

The question it answers

“Which voyages are burning more fuel than plan, and what will it cost under our charters?”

What changes: Lower fuel cost, faster claims, emissions compliance without spreadsheets.

All seven layers

How ForgeOrbis works for shipping lines.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Ingest

    Data sources

    • Noon reports
    • Voyage management system
    • AIS
    • Engine/fuel sensors
    • Charter party records
    • Bunker invoices
    • Weather feeds
    • Emissions data
  2. 02

    Understand

    Extract

    Facts from unstructured data

    • Charter party clauses and laytime from PDFs
    • Noon reports from emails
    • Bunker delivery notes
    • Port agent invoices
  3. 03

    Unify

    Resolve

    What must be matched

    • Vessels across names/IMO
    • Charterers, brokers, agents with variant names
    • Ports by name and UN/LOCODE
  4. 04

    Relate

    Model

    Objects and links (the ontology)

    • Vessel
    • Voyage
    • Port Call
    • Charter Party
    • Bunker Stem
    • Cargo
    • Counterparty
    • Emission Record

    Example question

  6. 06

    Execute

    Act

    Approved actions

    • Propose speed/route change
    • Draft laytime/demurrage claim
    • Schedule hull cleaning
    With approval
  7. 07

    Trust

    Govern

    Trust and compliance

    • Works over low-bandwidth ship-shore links
    • Commercial data restricted by desk
    • Audit of claims

What a pilot measures

Each pilot measures 2 to 3 KPIs you already track, before and after. We publish no benefit numbers until a customer has measured them.

  • Fuel per nautical mile
  • Demurrage recovered
  • Claim cycle time
  • Carbon-intensity rating trend
  • Off-hire days

Who it is for

  • Fleet/technical director
  • Commercial head

Where it stands today

What runs today, and what we are still building.

We would rather tell you up front than discover it in week three. A pilot starts with what runs today.

Still to build for shipping lines

  • Time-series/telemetryLayer 1High-volume sensor and machine data, windowing, anomaly baselines
  • Document extractionLayer 2OCR + layout, forms, tables, scanned records, stamps
  • Entity resolution (people/orgs)Layer 3Persons, companies, aliases, phones, addresses, related parties
  • Geospatial/mapLayer 4Map-native objects, routes, areas, proximity questions
  • Offline/edge (DDIL)Layer 7Runs disconnected, store-and-forward sync, low bandwidth

Live means shipping in the product today. Partly live means part of the layer ships today and the rest is being built. Roadmap means being built and not available yet. We never show it as available.
