TMS Cardiff Gas strengthens navigational safety and bridge skills

TMS is one of Greece’s largest independent ship managers, overseeing more than 140 vessels with over 45 newbuildings on order. Its operations span crude and product tankers, bulk carriers, and the LPG/LNG division TMS Gas. Based in Marousi, Athens, TMS Gas manages 21 LPG/LNG carriers and runs one of the few in-house maritime training centres in Greece. This focus on people and technology shapes the navigational standards expected across the TMS Cardiff Gas fleet.

As LPG/LNG operations become increasingly complex, TMS Cardiff Gas has identified navigational safety and bridge competence as critical priorities. The objective was clear: help officers recognize developing risks earlier, interpret situations with greater confidence, and maintain consistent standards across the fleet.  Several operational realities shaped this need:

TMS Cardiff Gas integrated the Orca AI platform into daily bridge and shore operations to strengthen situational awareness, support officer decision-making, and create a shared, data-based view of navigational performance across the LPG/LNG fleet. The platform is used both onboard, as a real-time visual cross-check during navigation, and ashore, to review events, coach crews, and reinforce consistent standards.

Alongside strong crew feedback and high engagement, TMS Cardiff Gas has recorded measurable improvements across the safety indicators it uses to assess navigational risk. For TMS Cardiff Gas, Orca AI has become a practical tool for strengthening navigational safety, supporting officer confidence, and aligning ship and shore around real operational data. By combining visual awareness onboard with fleet-level insight ashore, the company has created measurable improvements while reinforcing the standards expected across a modern LPG/LNG fleet.
