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
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.

WITH AID-FUEL-MARINE
The Architecture
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.
SHIPBOARD SOURCES
OUTPUTS & DECISION SURFACES
Bridge Advisory
Speed, RPM, trim, route guidance — visible on the bridge in real time.
Fleet Operations
Compare voyages, benchmark vessels, route plan from shore in real time.
Compliance Reports
EEXI · CII · IMO DCS exports auto-generated from raw shipboard data.
Capabilities
Deploy AID-Fuel-Marine as a complete fuel-optimisation suite — or start with a single capability that addresses your most expensive problem first.
AI Engine
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
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
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.
