Our mission

Ships should have a memory, a mentor, and a mission assistant

Born from a simple question - what if the knowledge didn’t leave with the crew? We’re building the missing layer in maritime life: one that speaks your language, remembers last drydock, and never forgets.

The inspiration

A real story at sea

“A new chief engineer was on his first voyage. A fuel pump failed and the manual was unclear. He WhatsApped me at 3 AM. We both fumbled, trying to find the old service history. Turned out, the last time this happened we had found a workaround - but no one documented it. It cost us six hours of downtime.”

He paused, and said: “If the ship could have remembered for us, this wouldn’t have happened.” That single line became the emotional foundation of ShipSmith.

What we believe

The principles behind the product

Knowledge belongs to the ship

Not to the people who come and go. Memory that stays aboard.

Empower, never replace

We restore dignity to the profession - we don’t automate it away.

Designed for the sea

Built by people who know patchy internet and midnight watches.

Respect the tradition

Tomorrow’s tools, honouring the sea’s traditions.

The sea has evolved. So must we.

Join the first movers

Start with one vessel. Upload your SOPs and a key manual or two. Watch how quickly the crew takes to it - then expand, customize and scale.
