Physics-informed performance intelligence

Know more. Burn less. Perform better.

Your ships already send the numbers every day. Naval Brain reads them, applies the physics of how hulls actually behave, and tells you — to the dollar, per vessel, per day — where the money is bleeding.

Your superintendent doesn’t want another retrofit project. We work from the noon reports your crew already produces.

Every output traces to a standard your class surveyor recognises.
The problem

Fouling is continuous. Your view of it shouldn’t be twice a year.

Every hull degrades. Every day a vessel sails, a fraction of its fuel is paying for fouling rather than progress. That number is invisible. Until today.

Naval Brain turns your daily noon reports into a defensible, ISO-aligned number: how much of your fuel is paying for the hull.

Diagnostic layer

Hull Intelligence.

The diagnostic layer of the platform. Each noon report becomes a new point on the hull’s degradation curve, with confidence bounds, data-quality flagging, and provenance back to every enrichment step. If the inputs are weak, the output says so.

Built around ISO 19030’s nb_drift, anchored to the vessel’s own sea-trial baseline, cleaned through a Kalman filter and smoothed with a Neural ODE.

Decision layer

Decision Support.

Hull Intelligence diagnoses. Decision Support acts. Every recommendation carries its physical basis, a confidence score, and an expected voyage saving in dollars — ready to issue as a standing order to the Master.

Trim optimisation, speed band, drydock timing. One click to issue, one click to dismiss. The Master, the superintendent, and the commercial team see the same object.

Active recommendation card: adjust trim to stern-up 0.08 m, 91% confidence, expected voyage saving of $11,247.

Technology

Physics-informed Network of Data. Auditable. Not a black box.

Every output traces to standardized papers, creating defensible and useful numbers you will see nowhere else.

Deployment

Global coverage, per-vessel precision.

Every vessel streams AIS continuously, cross-referenced against its noon reports, route weather, and the sea-trial baseline. The platform works the same way whether you monitor three ships or three hundred.

Onboarding is a data feed, not a deployment. No hardware. No onboard software. No retrofit project on the superintendent’s desk.

How it’s built

No hand-waving. Every decision is defensible.

01
Physics foundation

ISO 15016 (speed-power trials) and ISO 19030 (hull and propeller performance) form the backbone. Baseline resistance from Holtrop & Mennen. Degradation priors from Townsin (1981, 2003). Every claim has a paper or a standard behind it.

02
Data architecture

Full audit trail from raw noon row to final drift value. Every derived variable carries a confidence score and provenance chain.

03
Honest trade-offs

Phase one captures combined hull and propeller degradation. Phase two separates the two signals. We disclose limitations openly in every pilot conversation.

04
Roadmap

Trim and stability intelligence. Age and coating-aware thresholds. Cross-fleet learning.

Why it compounds

More accurate with every vessel. Every voyage.

Naval Brain gets sharper the longer it runs. The more of your fleet it sees, the better it knows your fleet.
