A GUIDE THROUGH ROUGH WATERS
A CHARM FOR SAFE PASSAGE
OPTIMISE MARITIME OPERATIONS WITH AI PRECISION
Ship operations are inherently complex, from voyage planning and real-time fleet monitoring to crew management and regulatory compliance. Even small errors can cause costly delays, safety incidents or environmental harm.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms this landscape. Our maritime AI solution, the Nijhof Central Intelligence Library (Maritime) | NCIL(M) aka AI-in-a-box, delivers a data-driven framework that enhances operational efficiency, strengthens safety, and reduces risk across your entire fleet.
Purpose-built for seafarers at sea, our system is simple and fast to use - an interface shaped by consistent feedback from shipping leaders that crews need quick, effortless access.
STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES OF OUR AI APPROACH
-
Proven Seafaring Expertise: Built by former mariners with hands-on, deck plate experience - not theory. We have weathered storms, fixed systems under pressure and completely understand the operational realities at sea.
-
End-to-End Implementation: Our WKA3Plus(+)1 Program seamlessly combines management consulting, edge-ready AI and immersive training. We assess, design, embed, fine-tune and train to ensure your teams perform at their best.
-
Unified Compliance Platform: We are the world class, maritime industry aggregator providing a compliant, integrated solution that connects people, assets and data across your organisation.
TANGIBLE BUSINESS RESULTS
-
Reduced Operational Costs: Leaner maintenance budgets, fewer repeat faults and faster, standardised incident reporting.
-
Enhanced Financial Standing: Higher solvency, improved creditworthiness and lower insurance premiums through better risk management.
-
Empowered Crews: Safer working conditions, higher morale and better staff retention.
-
Continuous Optimisation: Real-time insights that drive smarter decisions, voyage after voyage.
-
Stronger Regulatory Compliance: Vessels are less likely to be held, fined or delayed during PSC or class inspections.

WORKAROUND | WKA 3PLUS (+) 1
This program is built to safeguard your crew, vessels and brand reputation by helping your entire fleet operate as one high-performing, compliant unit. Every component is practical, deployment-ready and engineered for real-world maritime conditions to support safer operations, standardised execution and better regulatory alignment. By combining maritime expertise with AI-enabled workflows, the program helps reduce operational risk, cut avoidable maintenance costs and strengthen overall fleet performance across every transit.
Three Required Actions and One Strategic Advisory for Maritime Operations
PHASE 1
CONSULT TO ASSESS AND ALIGN
Our people assess your fleet operations against key maritime regulations - SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM - and class rules to identify risk, maintenance bottlenecks and compliance gaps. From this, we create an AI-enabled operating playbook that improves efficiency and reduces operational waste without compromising safety or seaworthiness
PHASE 2
RECONCILE THROUGH NCIL(M) SOLUTIONS
We convert your existing inspection and maintenance procedures into NCIL(M), an offline, on-board generative AI SOP assistant built for shipboard conditions. The interface is offline-first, role-based (master, chief engineer, safety, crewing) and every answer is based upon your approved company and vessel documents, with citations and an audit trail for compliance. Each SOP is delivered with video walkthroughs, diagrams and checklists at the point of work, plus real-time prompts so crews can execute to chief-engineer standards even with low or zero connectivity. The result is fewer repeat defects, less unplanned downtime, cleaner audit findings and a safer, more consistent fleet-wide maintenance operation, all while keeping operational data onboard.
PHASE 3
TRAIN TO EMBED
We pair live subject-matter-expert training with edge-AI guidance at the point of work. This reinforces skills immediately, standardises execution across ranks and vessels, and keeps operations aligned with IMO/ISM requirements. The result is safer, faster and more compliant maritime operations supported by AI.
PHASE Plus (+) 1
COLLABORATION CHARTER PROGRAM
This 12-week, post-AI implementation, peer-led maritime performance program - designed by veteran seafarers - helps ship and shore teams work as one. Each week activates a core collaboration skill (eg. psychological safety, mutual respect, constructive challenge, shared accountability) and turns it into daily, on-the-job behaviours that fit watch rotations and office schedules. By practicing consistently, crews experience smoother AI implementation, safer handovers, faster conflict resolution and clearer decision-making. Keeping the same weekly cadence after Week 12 embeds the habits, leading to long-term gains: lower conflict, higher trust, better engagement, fewer incidents, and reduced maintenance costs as aligned teams spot and fix issues earlier across fleet and shoreside operations.
Implement this program to embed a culture of collaboration and candid, respectful conduct that safeguards your organisation and sharpens its competitive edge.
