Maritime Safety Infrastructure
The compliance
layer for the
global fleet.
ShipCheck AI automates maritime inspections with photo-verified AI — creating a standardized, auditable record for every vessel. Built for ship owners, surveyors, ports, and the investors backing this transformation.
Three ways to inspect
Choose your inspection type
AI Inspections
Upload onboard photos and get instant structured compliance reports generated by AI — with SOLAS, ISM and MLC clause citations and PDF export.
Start AI Inspection →Maritime Standard Inspections
Structured digital checklists following maritime industry standards. Complete on any device, save progress and print professional audit reports.
View All Inspections →SCAI Prototype
See where we are heading — an autonomous AI maritime compliance ecosystem from photo analysis to a global knowledge graph and drone-assisted inspections.
Watch the Vision →A €20B+ market with no digital standard
€270M lost annually to manual reporting. 55,000 commercial vessels with no unified compliance layer. New 2026 IMO mandates turning digital compliance from optional to legally required. We are building the trust infrastructure the industry has no choice but to adopt.

- Step 2: Follow the structured checklist, photograph each checkpoint
- Step 3: AI validates photos against international conventions
- Step 4: Compliance-grade PDF report generated instantly
SCAI Prototype — Future Vision
Autonomous inspection:
AI meets AR
See the next frontier of maritime compliance. Our prototype demonstrates real-time AR overlay on vessel surfaces — detecting rust, cracks, and structural defects through the camera lens, mapped against a live global knowledge graph.
- Vision AI: Production-grade defect detection on physical surfaces
- AR Overlay: Augmented annotations surfaced in real time on-deck
- Drone integration: Autonomous hull and structure scanning
- Knowledge graph: Every finding linked to IMO / class society clauses
Market opportunity
The layered opportunity
Total annual spend on maritime insurance, classification, statutory audits, and port-side risk management across the 104,000+ vessel global fleet.
The 55,000 commercial vessels (Bulk, Tanker, Container) and 800 Tier-1 ports moving toward mandatory digital live reporting standards by 2026.
1,500 vessels in high-regulation zones (Baltic / North Sea / Mediterranean). Converting manual snapshot inspections into recurring continuous compliance subscriptions at €3,000/ship/year.
Why now: 2026 IMO and EU ETS mandates turn digital compliance from a luxury into a legal requirement. The Baltic and North Sea corridor is the regulatory ground zero.
Seed round:
€300K
We aren't building a better checklist. We are building the data infrastructure to tokenize the global fleet — starting with the most defensible entry point: compliance verification.

What seafarers say
Trusted by those on deck
If it delivers as planned, ShipCheck AI could save us countless hours of administrative work. Instead of spending time on repetitive reports, crews could focus more on navigation, safety, and vessel performance.
Pilot — port of Salacgriva
It's exciting to see technology finally catching up with the needs of seafarers. ShipCheck AI could become a standard tool on modern vessels — improving efficiency, transparency, and teamwork on board.
ShipCheck AI looks like it will become an incredible assistant for Captains, Chief Officers, and crew once it's fully available. The idea of having an onboard AI tool that simplifies reporting and inspections is something we've been waiting for.
