Seaspan Corporation to Integrate SeaPod Technology for Enhanced Maritime Safety and Efficiency

Orca AI reached a significant milestone with Seaspan Corporation, a leading global containership company, integrating its SeaPod digital watchkeeper across its entire fleet. This move aims to enhance safety measures and operational cost savings for Seaspan. By implementing Orca AI’s technology on select vessels, Seaspan saw positive results in fleet performance, including a 35% increase in the minimum average distance between vessels in open waters and a 37% decrease in close encounters.

Utilizing Orca AI’s SeaPod digital watchkeeper, Seaspan’s crew successfully minimized extreme maneuvers and unnecessary course changes during navigation. This led to annual fuel savings of $100,000 per vessel and prevented the release of 500 metric tons of CO2 per ship. Orca AI’s advanced computer vision technology integrates data from Radar, AIS, and GPS to provide continuous monitoring of the maritime environment. The SeaPod platform alerts watchkeepers to high-risk targets in real-time, enabling early course adjustments and reducing close-encounter incidents significantly.

Seaspan also benefits from Orca AI’s FleetView dashboard, which transforms its vessels into connected, floating offices. FleetView delivers real-time performance insights, allowing shore-based teams to analyze trends, ensure regulatory compliance, and implement best practices fleet-wide. This integration of technology not only improves safety and operational efficiency for Seaspan but also demonstrates the potential for digitalization to drive positive outcomes in the maritime industry.
