Case Study: Seaspan Corporation improves navigation safety and cuts fuel costs with Orca AI

Seaspan Corporation cuts fuel costs by $100K per vessel with Orca AI

Seaspan Corporation, a global leader in maritime asset management, sought to improve navigational safety and operational efficiency across its large fleet. The company's challenge was to enhance situational awareness for bridge crews in high-density waters and to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. To address this, they partnered with vendor Orca AI to implement its AI-powered situational awareness technology.

Orca AI provided its SeaPod system to give bridge crews a real-time digital lookout and its FleetView platform for shoreside monitoring. The solution led to a 37% reduction in close encounters and a 35% increase in minimum passing distance. Most notably, it resulted in annual fuel cost savings of $100,000 per vessel and an annual reduction of 500 metric tons of CO₂ per ship, delivering both enhanced safety and significant operational savings for Seaspan.
