12-Month Roadmap
Staged validation, then scale
Every phase has a defined exit. If a POC fails its KPI, milestone-gated refund — no commitment to the next phase.
Phase 0 M0 – M1
Data readiness + POC selection
No-cost- Audit SERTICA / Oracle / Wayfinder integration surfaces
- Pick 5–10 pilot vessels
- Sign POC SOW + KPI acceptance criteria
Exit KPI: Data Readiness Report delivered · POC SOW signed by both sides
Phase 1 M2 – M4
Voyage+ + Document AI POC
Low risk- Pilot Voyage+ on 5 vessels; compare against Wayfinder baseline
- Ship Document AI MVP covering SOF + NOR
- Shore-side decision cockpit prototype
Exit KPI: Extra fuel saving ≥ 1.2% (90% CI) · Ops labour −20%
Phase 2 M5 – M8
Digital Twin + Chartering Copilot
Medium risk- Pilot Digital Twin on 3 vessels (main engine / turbo / bearings)
- Chartering Copilot v1 for Capesize routes
- Joint data-sharing pilot with BHP / Vale
Exit KPI: ≥ 3 predictive maintenance saves identified · TCE +1%
Phase 3 M9 – M12
CII Cockpit + fleet-wide rollout
Scale- CII Cockpit ↔ EU ETS allowance market + IMO CII engine
- Voyage+ / Document AI rolled out to all 90 vessels
- Digital Twin extended to 30+ vessels
Exit KPI: CII A/B share +15pp · Annualised EBITDA +$25M run-rate
POC Proposal
Start with a 90-day POC
Recommended starting point
CII Cockpit + Document AI dual POC
The two modules with the fastest visible payoff and the lowest external data dependency.
CII Cockpit gives the executive team the global view. Document AI delivers
tangible time-savings the Operations team feels in week two.
- ·10 vessels, 18 months of historical back-test
- ·500 SOF / NOR documents auto-parsed
- ·Bi-weekly review, CFO-led acceptance
