SHIP INSPECTIONS & AI INSPECTION REPORTS
On-board ship inspections, audits and assessments by a Master Mariner, and ShipCheckAI — the AI that turns inspection photos into structured reports with SOLAS, ISM and MLC references. Based in Riga, working across the Baltic and worldwide.
Inspections powered by AI
Upload onboard photos and receive instant structured compliance reports with SOLAS, ISM and MLC clause citations and PDF export.
The same AI we use on our own inspections, available to surveyors and crews.

DigiPMS · Fleet
Planned maintenance now lives in MicroShipowner, alongside the ship’s certificates, drills, crew and evidence chain — one record per vessel rather than a maintenance schedule in one place and everything else in another. Overdue and safety-critical flagged, every sign-off in the name of the person who made it.
