Marine AI · Built for Indian shipping

Cut fuel burn at sea
with AI that learns every voyage.

AID-Fuel-Marine is an onboard AI platform that monitors fuel consumption in real time and adapts speed, route, engine load and trim to current conditions — minimising burn while staying inside IMO, EEXI and CII limits.

The Problem

Marine vessels still burn fuel without real-time intelligence.

Fuel is the single largest operating expense at sea — yet most ships rely on conventional systems and crew intuition. Weather, current, hull fouling, engine drift and cargo load all change minute-to-minute, but consumption decisions don't. IMO 2020, EEXI and CII have raised the cost of every wasted litre.

50%+Of a vessel’s operating cost is fuel
5–8%Burn lost to sub-optimal speed & trim

TODAY · CONVENTIONAL

Static voyage plans, reactive decisions.

  • Fuel logs filled by hand at end of watch
  • Speed & RPM set on departure, rarely revised
  • Hull and engine drift discovered at dry-dock
  • EEXI / CII filings reconstructed from paperwork

WITH AID-FUEL-MARINE

Continuous AI advisory, every nautical mile.

  • Streaming fuel, engine, weather and route data
  • AI advises speed, RPM and trim every few minutes
  • Engine anomalies flagged before they cost fuel
  • EEXI / CII reports auto-generated from raw telemetry

The Architecture

From sensor to bridge to fleet —

AID-Fuel-Marine ingests every relevant signal on the ship, runs inference on a hardened onboard compute core, and pushes optimisation insights to the bridge and the fleet operations centre in real time.

Capabilities

Six AI capabilities, one platform for the voyage.

Deploy AID-Fuel-Marine as a complete fuel-optimisation suite — or start with a single capability that addresses your most expensive problem first.

MODULE 01

Real-Time Fuel Optimisation

Continuous consumption AI

Streams fuel flow, engine load, SOG, draft and weather data into a marine fuel model. Surfaces actionable advice every few minutes — speed, RPM, trim — that minimises burn without missing ETA.

Live advisorySpeed & RPML / nm tracking

MODULE 02

Predictive Maintenance

Engine & auxiliary health

Watches exhaust temperatures, vibration, fuel-line pressure and turbocharger signals to flag fouling, injector drift or cooling problems before they show up as extra fuel burn or off-hire days.

Anomaly detectionLead-time alertsService forecast

MODULE 03

Weather & Route Adaptation

Dynamic voyage planning

Pulls wind, wave, current and pressure forecasts into a route optimiser. Re-plans live to avoid heavy weather slip, dodge counter-currents and pick the lowest-fuel track to the next pilot station.

Met-ocean feedWaypoint re-planETA aware

MODULE 04

Adaptive Operational Parameters

Speed · trim · load

Recommends — or, on opted-in ships, automates — speed setpoints, throttle, ballast and trim adjustments based on real-time consumption analysis and machine-learned vessel response curves.

Trim advisorThrottle setpointAuto / advisory

MODULE 05

Seamless Ship Integration

NMEA · Modbus · OPC UA

Connects to existing AMS, ECDIS, VDR, engine ECU and fuel meters using standard marine protocols. No rip-and-replace — AID-Fuel-Marine sits alongside what is already on the ship.

NMEA 2000Modbus / OPC UAAMS bridge

MODULE 06

Compliance & Reporting

IMO · EEXI · CII · DCS

Continuously computes EEXI / CII performance and auto-generates IMO DCS, MRV and class-society reports from raw shipboard data — no end-of-quarter scramble for evidence.

AI Engine

An onboard brain, built for life at sea.

The AID-Fuel-Marine Core combines a sealed marine-grade compute module with a fuel-optimisation AI engine that runs entirely on the ship — and gets smarter every voyage.

Multi-source data fusion

Fuses NMEA, Modbus, OPC UA, AIS, and weather feeds into a single shipboard time-series — every signal time-aligned, every gap interpolated.

Vessel-specific learning

Builds a digital twin of your hull and powertrain that improves with every nautical mile — generic models out, ship-specific physics in.

Edge inference, offline-safe

Inference runs on the onboard compute core — full advisory continues without satellite link, then syncs when the ship is back online.

Crew-friendly explainability

Every recommendation comes with the why — wind, current, draft, engine state — so the master and chief stay in control.

Marine-grade hardware

Sealed, fanless, wide-temperature compute with surge protection and watchdog reset — type-approval-ready for the bridge cabinet.

Fleet-wide learning loop

Anonymised voyage data lifts the whole fleet — patterns learned on one tanker improve advisory quality on the next sister ship.

Business Benefits

Built to cut fuel bills, emissions and risk.

From single-vessel pilots to fleet-wide deployments, AID-Fuel-Marine pays back in litres saved, off-hire days avoided and audit hours reclaimed.

Lower fuel cost per nautical mile

Continuous speed, RPM and trim advice trims litres-per-nm on every voyage — the savings compound over a fleet.

Regulatory compliance, by default

EEXI / CII / IMO DCS reports generated from raw shipboard data — no end-of-quarter audit scramble.

Reduced emissions

Less burn means less CO₂, NOₓ and SOₓ — directly supports your decarbonisation roadmap.

Predictive maintenance savings

Anomalies caught early avoid unplanned dry-docks, extended off-hire and emergency parts shipments.

Fleet-wide visibility

Compare voyages, vessels and masters from shore — identify which ships need attention and which patterns to scale.

Crew-friendly decision support

Clear, explainable recommendations on the bridge — augments the master and chief instead of overriding them.

Markets Served

Six maritime segments, one fuel-intelligence platform.

From a single coastal patrol vessel to a global tanker fleet, AID-Fuel-Marine scales from one ship to the entire fleet — and adapts to the operating profile of each.

SEGMENT 01
