According to the information available, Seaspan Corporation, a major container vessel owner, is set to implement Orca AI’s SeaPod digital watchkeeper across its entire fleet. This move signifies a substantial step towards enhancing maritime safety and operational efficiency, reports Container News.
Reduced Operational Costs
Seaspan is implementing Orca AI’s technology to improve safety and reduce operational costs.
They have been using Orca AI’s SeaPod digital watchkeeper on selected vessels to enhance navigational awareness.
Data from 2023-2024 shows:
- A 35% increase in the minimum average distance between vessels in open waters.
- A 37% decrease in close encounters.
Orca AI’s system has helped Seaspan’s crew minimize extreme maneuvers and unnecessary course changes.
This has resulted in annual fuel savings of US$100,000 per vessel and a reduction of 500 metric tons of CO2 emissions per ship.
Orca AI’s SeaPod platform provides real-time alerts about high-risk targets, regardless of time or weather, enabling early course corrections and reducing close-encounter incidents.
