The most expensive event in a vessel's life
Drydocking is the largest cost event of the life cycle. The rule that forces it is public: a Special Survey every 5 years and a drydock at most every 36 months. Nothing about the date is a surprise.
Marine Operations Intelligence
It tells you which vessel needs a decision this week, before the class window and the cash ceiling collide.
AI recommends. Your team approves.
01The problem
Drydocking is the largest cost event of the life cycle. The rule that forces it is public: a Special Survey every 5 years and a drydock at most every 36 months. Nothing about the date is a surprise.
A planned maintenance system records tasks, hours, inventory and certificates. It tells you how the vessel is when someone goes to look. It does not say which vessel needs a decision this week, or what that decision costs.
Two drydockings land in the same quarter as the fleet's lowest cash. Somebody has to see that six months ahead. Today that somebody works with a spreadsheet, an inbox and memory.
Sources for the rule: IACS UR Z3 and Z7, ABS Rules Part 7, NORMAM-201.
02How it works
Orbbia OS reads what your maintenance system already knows: tasks, hours, certificates, class dates. And the public record of your fleet: class status, survey windows, age.
Agents cross the class window with the cash ceiling and the yard calendar. Each recommendation arrives as one card: why, confidence, action, and who approves.
A named person on your team approves, changes or rejects. Nothing moves without that signature. The log keeps every decision.
AI recommends. Your team approves. Never the other way around.

01 · Drydock Intelligence
How do we run each drydocking as a project, from D-180 to the purchase order?
02 · Readiness and Port Call
Is this vessel ready, and what has to happen at the next port call?
03 · Predictive Maintenance
What is going to fail, before it fails?
Screens from the generic demo. Fictional fleet, illustrative data.
04Demo
The generic demo runs a fictional fleet with illustrative data, end to end: fleet, drydock projects, constraints, approvals, procurement and the agent's cards. Sign in with any e-mail.
Open the demo (en-US)Before the first meeting we check your fleet in the public record (class, survey windows, age) and bring the demo back with your vessels on screen. No invented ROI: the calculators use your day rate.
Ask for it by e-mail05About
Three people who watched drydocking decided by spreadsheet, inbox and memory, from both sides of the table: the engine room and the data. Two of us come from operations, on the floor of vessel operators in the United States and in marine support in Brazil. One of us is a mechanical engineer who spent years reading operations data before building with AI. We built the demo first, then the company.

Every recommendation carries a why, a confidence level and the authority that signs it. No agent decides alone.
A number appears only with a source: a public rule, your own records or your day rate. Benchmarks are stated as orders of magnitude.
Orbbia OS is the layer that gives the technical director the decision back, with time to spare. It sits on top of the system you run. It does not replace it.
The long view: an AI operating system for physical operations. Marine is the first vertical.
