ShipSafe and Danaos team up to provide AI and AR driven ship management solutions

Press Release: ShipSafe Maritime Technologies Inc. a startup based  in Vancouver, Canada, signed an agreement with DANAOS, a pioneer in ship management  systems with over 28 years of experience and serving over 9000 vessels. The partnership will  focus on developing the next generation AI/AR based remote inspection platform for the  shipping industry. ShipSafe with its niche expertise in remote inspections has successfully served numerous ocean bound fleets. Both companies believe that their mutual synergy and  combined resources will fast track development and further enhance current user experience.  

 

“We saw ShipSafe as a natural partner to build next generation remote inspections platform  to better serve the shipping industry and drive much needed digital transformation” – Mr.  Dimitris Theodossiou – Owner, Danaos Management Consultants S.A.  

 

The Bandwidth Barrier: One of the greatest barriers to managing complex IT solutions  onboard ships is well known, less understood, and often quoted as a reason to not increase  investment. ShipSafe Maritime Technologies believes that software designed for full  connectivity using fiber optic bandwidth delivery is bound to fail when installed on ships.  

 

CEO and Founder of Vancouver based ShipSafe Suite, Sahil Andrews Chand, recognized this  problem and has developed a suite of Network Operations Center (NOC) tools specifically  designed to consider bandwidth limitations. Providing IT Automation for servers and  shipboard networks, the software allows for monitoring and control of the onboard IT  infrastructure while automating time consuming tasks. With new requirements outlined in  the IMO’s 2021 Cyber Risk Management Code, compliance and future proofing becomes an  issue. ShipSafe IT Suite aids with that compliance while reducing costs anywhere from 40- 60%.  

 

Sahil believes that the collaboration with DANAOS will allow ShipSafe to quickly scale its solution and make it accessible to DANAOS nine thousand plus fleet. This will ensure that the  remote inspection platform is built with real-time access and understanding of user needs  and that the deployment of the software is seamless.
