Case Study: TMS Cardiff Gas strengthens navigational safety with Orca AI

TMS Cardiff Gas cuts close encounters 31% with Orca AI

TMS Cardiff Gas Ltd, a major Greek ship manager operating a modern LNG/LPG fleet, sought to strengthen navigational safety and bridge officer competence. The challenge involved overcoming fragmented situational awareness from multiple displays, single-officer responsibility in open waters, and blind spots caused by the vessel's design. To help officers recognize risks earlier, they partnered with vendor Orca AI.

Orca AI implemented its platform, including the SeaPod onboard bridge interface, to provide a real-time digital lookout and improve target detection. The solution also included the FleetView tool for shore-based teams to review voyages and coach crews. This integration resulted in a measurable impact, including a 31% reduction in close-encounter events per 1,000 nautical miles and a 21% increase in average minimum passing distance in open waters for TMS Cardiff Gas.
