Co-Captain transforms how vessels perceive and respond to real-time events and upcoming risks. By combining information from the global network of Orca AI–equipped vessels with external sources such as weather, traffic, and local regulatory data, it provides crews with a dynamic evolving overview of their route and timely alerts, enabling them to anticipate risks before they arise and make critical decisions with confidence.

As vessels approach critical events, each Orca AI-equipped vessel acts as a node in a global maritime network, detecting and validating them in real time.

Co-Captain captures data from ships across the Orca AI fleet that is then enriched in the cloud with external data such as weather, admiralty updates and vessel traffic information.

Live notifications from other Orca AI-equipped vessels show high traffic density and recent close encounters along your planned route. Both AIS and non-AIS targets, as well as precise location data, is included in these alerts, enabling speed to be reduced, course to be adjusted or an extra OOW to be assigned, in order to minimize the risk of collisions.

Live alerts warn bridge crews about severe weather that Orca AI-equipped vessels are encountering ahead. Alerts include Beaufort Scale readings and visibility conditions such as fog, so that crews can adjust course, reduce speed, secure cargo and make whatever preparations are necessary well before the vessel meets the rough conditions.

Any GPS interference detected by other Orca AI vessels is relayed in real time, allowing crews to re-route or rely on alternative navigation methods. Warnings about areas prone to spoofing and interference are also sent.

Before entering piracy-prone areas, crews receive live alerts to activate security measures and increase surveillance. In addition, ships on the same route get instant notifications if other vessels have reported live pirate activity.

Crews are reminded to adjust speed and follow environmental regulations when entering whale-protected areas to ensure compliance, avoid fines, and protect marine life.

SOG alerts enable crews to maintain speed limits as they prepare to enter regulatory zones. This supports compliance with company SMS policies, emission-control areas and environmental regulations, reducing the risk of fines and ensuring safe, efficient operations.

Orca AI-equipped vessels can report navigational hazards such as floating containers, buoy shifts, unmarked obstacles, ice, Man Overboard and pollution. Co-Captain also provides critical updates on temporarily closed or hazardous areas, as well as other special zones as detailed by local regulatory sources.

Yes, it certainly can. Our comprehensive data analysis reveals that maneuvers for collision avoidance typically take between 20 to 40 minutes. The Orca AI platform offers early warnings of potential CPA/TCPA violations and by this minimizing close encounter events in open seas. The early warning also significantly reduces the need for route deviations to avoid SMS violations.This proactive approach leads to fewer collision avoidance maneuvers and ultimately, less fuel consumed.
The Orca AI platform works in three main stages:
1. It connects to the mandatory onboard navigation sensors.
2. It integrates them with high-resolution cameras and proprietary AI algorithms to alert the crew on dangerous targets.
3. It prioritizes risky targets in real-time and helps to make better decisions in complex navigation situations like congested waters and low visibility.
The Orca AI platform is composed of three main components:
1. SeaPod (Onboard System) – The shipboard hardware and software system installed on vessels. It acts as an automated lookout on the bridge and is responsible for data collection, detection, and recording.
2. Fleet View (Cloud-Based Platform) – Orca AI’s shore-side, cloud-based dashboard used by office teams to monitor vessel safety and operational trends across an entire fleet, powered by data uploaded from SeaPod systems and processed in the cloud.
3. Master View – Provides a high-level, aggregated overview of a specific vessel and is used by the captain.
No, it doesn’t. Radar is the official collision avoidance tool regulated by SOLAS. The Orca AI platform is complementary to the radar and ECDIS and together with them provides full coverage for optimal situational awareness.
Yes, it is. In February 2022, the Orca AI platform received Product Design Assessment (PDA) certification from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and became the world’s first AI-based navigation platform to receive this certification. In addition, Orca AI collaborates with leading-class organizations such as ABS, DNV and LR, to make sure our solutions are constantly reviewed and comply with regulatory requirements.
