For Maritime CTOs

API-First Architecture for the Agentic Era

Not a tool. An infrastructure layer.

0 installs required. Cloud-native · RESTful · foundation-model ready.
The brief

A RESTful API returning structured JSON, LLM-readable explanations, and compliance documentation. Drop into your stack — no hardware, no onboarding.

VesselFront is infrastructure: a RESTful API that returns structured JSON route data, LLM-readable explanations, and compliance documentation. Embed it inside your own systems, your own agents, your own models.

Neurosymbolic architecture combines neural networks with hard-coded physical and regulatory constraints. This means it handles novel scenarios where pure ML systems fail — and does it without ambiguity.

Security is structural, not bolted on. GDPR-aligned, EU-sovereign hosting with encryption in transit and at rest, hardened authentication, and continuous security auditing. Your routes, vessel data, and IP stay yours alone.

What you get

Three decisions built around your role

The features maritime ctos actually use on a Wednesday at 14:00.

01

Drop-in API layer

Send vessel particulars and a route request. Receive optimized waypoints, FOC baseline, and an LLM-generated rationale.

02

ECDIS-grade exports

RTZ 1.1 XML and SHA-256-signed CSV outputs that drop straight into the on-board systems your masters already use.

03

EU-sovereign hosting

GDPR-aligned, EU-resident infrastructure. No data leaves the bloc unless you choose to send it.

Voyages that vindicate the maritime ctos brief

Real commercial passages — not synthetic benchmarks. Each one is reproducible from raw inputs.

India-to-Brazil voyage from Sikka to Niterói, routing south through the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the South Atlantic – 30 days, 7,922 nm. The operational risk on this lane is the Cape rounding, where the route hit its southernmost point at 35.9°S in the Roaring Forties. The optimised track cut Sea State 6+ exposure (≥4.0 m) nearly in half – from 6.4% of the historical track to 3.6% – and reduced Sea State 5+ exposure from 36.0% to 26.0%. Route-averaged significant wave height was 2.17 m. The vessel operated on VLSFO throughout with no ECA transits, so the 13.31% FOC reduction (89 MT saved) is a pure routing-and-speed optimisation result, not a fuel-grade effect.

India-to-Brazil tanker voyage from Gujarat to Rio de Janeiro, 25 days westbound across the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the South Atlantic, October–November 2023. The route-averaged significant wave height was 1.95 m on the optimised track. The highest seas of the voyage came late, on the Brazilian approach at 24.2°S, 34.3°W: the optimised track encountered a peak of 5.96 m versus 5.64 m on the historical track – a marginally higher absolute peak in exchange for reduced overall heavy-weather dwell time, with Sea State 5+ waypoints cut from 26.1% to 23.4%. The lane runs entirely outside ECA zones, so VLSFO was held throughout with no fuel-switching event, and the 0.94% FOC savings (5.9 MT) is a pure routing result rather than a fuel-grade arbitrage.

Departing Tubarão on the Brazilian east coast, the vessel tracked north-east along the Brazilian bulge before turning north-west after the equator, transiting the Caribbean Sea and approaching the Gulf of Mexico via the Yucatan Channel. The route-averaged significant wave height was 1.69 m, with 80.2% of waypoints at Douglas Sea State 4 or higher (≥1.25 m) and 4.9% at Sea State 5 or higher (≥2.5 m). The peak encounter, 2.69 m, occurred on the south-western tropical Atlantic on the approach to the Caribbean, roughly 700 nm east of Trinidad. The historical AIS track covered comparable seas (80.4% Sea State 4+ and 5.3% Sea State 5+), so the bulk of the 13.67% fuel saving came from speed and routing optimisation rather than sea-state avoidance, with the optimised track also 92 nm shorter than the historical baseline.
