Case Study: Maran Tankers Management achieves safer navigation with Orca AI

Maran Tankers Management cuts close encounters by 74% with Orca AI

Maran Tankers Management, the crude oil shipping arm of the Angelicoussis Group, faced the challenge of enhancing navigational safety across its expanding fleet. Operating in increasingly complex and high-traffic environments, the company sought to provide its bridge teams with better real-time situational awareness during demanding conditions like night operations and low visibility. Maran Tankers turned to Orca AI to strengthen decision-making consistency and reinforce its safety-first culture both on board and ashore.

Orca AI implemented its SeaPod system onboard vessels and the FleetView dashboard for shore teams. The solution provided bridge crews with a consolidated view of their surroundings, improving hazard detection, while shore teams gained visibility into fleet-wide safety trends. The results were significant, with Maran Tankers Management achieving a 74% reduction in close encounters and a 22% increase in average minimum passing distance across the fleet, allowing for data-driven refinements to safety policies.
