A superintendent runs the fleet on gauges they cannot see. Position comes from a tracker, if there is one. What the engines are doing comes from a phone call, or from nobody.
Solutions · By question
Where are my vessels, and what are they doing?
The live picture: position, speed, heading and the engines, for the master aboard and the team ashore, as the vessel is working.
Monitor Live
Every connected vessel on one map: where it is, how fast, on what heading, at what engine load and fuel state. Select a vessel and the console shows the current alert and MA’s reading of it, with the evidence behind it.
The layer
Sensor, edge, link, people.
Navigation and motion data travel with the engine data through the one gateway aboard. When coverage drops, the gateway holds what it has read and sends it when the link returns, so the picture ashore catches up rather than staying blank.
The evidence
Direct measurement.
What the live picture shows is what the gateway read: position, speed, heading, engine load, fuel state. When MA adds a reading of an alert, that reading carries its own evidence class, so the ops room knows whether it is looking at a measurement or at MA’s interpretation of one.
The ladder
Monitor. Live.
The live picture is the first rung, and it is in operation today on working vessels. Everything above it, predicting, advising, assuring, is judged against what this picture shows.
What that could look like
An illustration in a fictional setting · not a case study · nothing below is a measured outcome
Nordkap Pilotage runs the Solent District from an ops room at the Port of Solent. PILOT 7 is outbound to boarding station Bravo when its speed drops over a few minutes while engine RPM holds steady. The map shows the drop; the console shows MA’s reading: consistent with a strong ebb set near the bank, no engine anomaly indicated. The coxswain’s radio call, when it comes, confirms what the ops room already understood.
