How it works

Adopts to your ship - not the other way around

Minimal disruption, strong privacy, maximum adaptability. ShipSmith speaks your language, knows your vessel, and grows with your team.

From data to intelligence

How a ship gets a memory

01

Ingest

OEM manuals, SOPs, PMS exports, SMS, safety checklists and past reports.

02

Build

A vessel-specific knowledge graph that understands your machinery and history.

03

Answer

Contextual answers, checklists, reports and reminders - by the ship, for the ship.

Deployment

Onboard, ashore, or both

Choose the model that fits each vessel’s connectivity and architecture.

Hybrid

Recommended
  • Onboard local app (laptop / tablet) plus cloud sync.
  • Offline access to manuals, SOPs and logs.
  • Syncs logs and updates with the office dashboard when bandwidth allows.

Full onboard local

Low-bandwidth vessels
  • Runs entirely on the vessel’s server - ideal for low-connectivity ships.
  • Pre-loaded with all manuals and routines.
  • Updates via USB or satellite once per month.

Cloud

Office use
  • For fleet managers, DPAs and procurement officers.
  • Dashboard to view trends across ships, common questions and flagged issues.
  • Supports fleet-wide coordination, audit prep and incident analysis.

Secure integrations

Read-limited APIs to PMS, DMS and procurement, per your policy.

Resilient by design

Offline fallback, auto-save, low CPU load - no cloud dependency.

Role

The sea has evolved. So must we.

Change one interaction. Change the outcome.

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.
