Detached Systems for Safer Ships.
AI designs the rules. Local systems run daily ops. Crew stays in control.
Detached System
AI builds rules. Rules run. Humans decide.
AI Studies
Manuals, history, workflows.
AI Writes Rules
Thresholds, checks, reports.
Pro Review
Marine pros approve first.
Local Run
No always-on AI or net.
How systems stack up
Detached wins on control, cost and offline ops.

| Internet | None | Needed | None |
| Hallucination | None | Risk | None |
| Audit | Hard | Hard | Easy |

Engine Systems
10 local rule modules — main engine to energy.
Condition Monitoring
Baseline vs live readings. Early anomaly flag.
Predictive Maintenance
Due dates by hours & calendar. Escalate overdue.
Lube Oil Monitor
Consumption, top-up & lab limits.
Fuel Consumption
Load vs burn. ROB & leakage patterns.
Engine Performance
Exhaust, scavenge, cylinder balance.
Alarm Rationalisation
Group noise. Prioritise critical.
Spare Parts
Min/max stock. Reorder before impact.
Logbook Validation
Missing, impossible, inconsistent rows.
Bunker Management
BDN vs sounding. Variance alert.
Energy Efficiency
Gen load & parallel-run waste.
Deck Systems
10 modules — passage, cargo, mooring, certs.
Passage Planning
Route complete. Master sign-off.
Voyage Performance
Plan vs actual. Delay & fuel check.
Cargo Checklist
Stage complete. Block critical gaps.
Stability Check
Tank data, draft, operating limits.
Mooring Monitor
Gear, rope, snap-back records.
Nav Equipment
Tests, defects, certificate expiry.
Deck Maintenance
Corrosion, paint, hatch by zone.
Port Readiness
Arrival/departure checklist complete.
Certificates
30 / 60 / 90-day renewal alerts.
Permit-to-Work
Valid fields, risk, close control.
Safety & Compliance
12 workflows — report to close-out.
Near-Miss
Log, categorise, trend prevent.
Incident Trends
Patterns by type & location.
Risk Assessment
Criteria check. Flag stale RA.
PTW Control
Validity, approve, close gate.
Drill Schedule
Completion by type & crew.
PPE Tracking
Inventory, inspect, expiry.
Safety Equipment
Inspect, defect, repair track.
Emergency Ready
Test status & readiness.
Audit Findings
Finding → action → close.
Corrective Action
Assign to close. Escalate late.
Non-Conformity
Investigate → action → verify.
Familiarisation
Crew procedure completion.
Cross-Department
Shared ops layer across engine, deck, safety.
Defect Management
Priority, repair, escalate critical.
Vessel Dashboard
One screen: alarms, ROB, voyage.
Handover
Watch notes, defects, open permits.
Report Generator
Daily, noon, weekly, monthly packs.
Use Cases
Detect → alert → recommend. Crew decides.
ME Exhaust Rising
EGT climbs over several days.
Gen Low Load
Inefficient parallel run.
ROB Mismatch
Sounding ≠ calculated burn.
Spare Critical
Stock below min on key part.
Cert Expiry
Renewal window ≤ 60 days.
Bilge Repeat
High bilge alarm loops.
Cargo Gap
Critical checklist step open.
Bad Log Data
Impossible sensor pair in log.
Why Detached
Low cost. Stable rules. Offline. Human control.
Less Cloud
No always-on AI/API for daily ops.
Low Token Cost
AI only at design time.
Stable Output
Same input → same result.
Easy Audit
Rules, alerts, actions logged.
Sea-Ready
Full function without internet.
Faster Reports
Auto packs, less copy-paste.
Early Trend
Catch drift before failure.
Human Gate
Officer approves critical acts.
Does Not
Tool for professionals — not a replacement.
No Rank Override
Does not replace Master / C/E.
No Class Replace
Not a class society system.
No Auto Control
Never overrides machinery control.
No Auto Nav
No autonomous navigation.
No Blind Trust
Sensors can be wrong — inspect.
No Silent Close
Critical acts need authorisation.
5 Phases
Each phase ships alone. Grow when ready.
Read-Only
Collect & display only.
Rule Alerts
Fixed rules + recommendations.
Workflows
Reports, checklists, PM.
Integrate
Engine + deck + safety one view.
AI Assist
Optional deep investigation.
Technology
Proven open stack. Marine-ready.
Frontend
Fast dashboard UI.
Backend
Local rules + API.
Inputs
Manual to sensors.
Optional
Edge extras when needed.
Security
Local-first. Role-based. Immutable trail.
Local-First
Data stays on vessel / shore box.
Roles
Rank-based access control.
Audit Log
Every change stays immutable.
Human Gate
No auto safety-critical acts.
Backup
Scheduled backup + restore drill.
Encrypt Link
Vessel ↔ shore channels encrypted.
Vessel Dashboard
Demo layout only — not live vessel data.
