PSC root-cause analysis

Structured root-cause analysis for Port State Control findings, built to support inspection follow-up and trend analysis across a fleet.

  • Structured RCA workflow attached directly to PSC findings.
  • Recurrence linking — connect related findings across separate inspections to surface repeat issues rather than treating each inspection in isolation.
  • AI assistant scope extended to PSC queries, so questions about findings and root causes can be answered directly through chat.

Smarter document search

A retrieval quality upgrade across the entire document corpus.

  • Every document chunk now carries enriched context — vessel, document identity, and section topic — instead of being indexed as an isolated fragment of text.
  • Search results are sharper because a match can be understood in context, not just matched on keywords in isolation.
  • AI assistant answers that cite document content benefit the same way, since the underlying retrieval is the same context-enriched index.
  • Applied across the full existing document corpus, not just newly uploaded documents.
12 August 2026Platformv1.2.x

Bulk document uploads + flexible OCR

Document ingestion gets faster and more resilient, especially for fleets onboarding a large existing archive.

  • Bulk folder uploads — submit up to 50 files in a single batch instead of uploading one at a time.
  • New cloud OCR lane for document processing, giving the pipeline more flexibility in how scanned documents are transcribed.
  • Improved processing reliability, with better handling of edge cases in document ingestion.
10 August 2026Platformv1.2.0

Roles & permissions overhaul

A rebuilt permissions model that maps more accurately to how fleet organizations are actually structured.

  • Three-tier role model: platform, company, and fleet level, replacing the previous flatter role set.
  • Per-user vessel scoping — users can be limited to the specific vessels they're authorized to access, independent of their role tier.
  • Route-level authorization hardening across the application, closing gaps between what the UI showed and what the API allowed.
  • Admin panel improvements for managing roles and vessel assignments.

Fleet & manning foundations

The foundational data model for fleet and crew management is now live.

  • Vessel registry covering the core fleet data model.
  • Rank structure configuration, aligned to standard maritime crewing hierarchies.
  • Manning configuration for defining crew requirements per vessel.
  • Notification platform to support alerts and updates as later features come online.
  • Three-zone architecture: a shore-side office console, a seafarer-facing portal, and a public careers site, all built on the same underlying platform.

Periodic vessel reports

Vessels now generate structured periodic reports on a defined schedule, with a shore-side review workflow to match.

  • Scheduled vessel reporting, configurable per report type and interval.
  • Shore review workflow: submitted reports move through a clear review status before they're considered finalized.
  • Report tagging, so reports can be organized and filtered by topic or category.
  • Ask-AI on report content — query report data directly through the AI assistant instead of digging through individual submissions.
