Introduction

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just for tech giants—it's quickly becoming a critical tool for forward-thinking maritime companies. At Somap Global, AI plays a growing role in how we assess assets, minimize risk, and deliver sustainable outcomes across the shipping lifecycle.

How AI Is Powering Smarter Decisions

AI helps tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges:

  • Predictive MaintenanceMachine learning algorithms analyze sensor data to forecast component failures, reducing downtime and avoiding costly surprises.

  • Carbon OptimizationAI models simulate voyage routes and fuel consumption, helping operators reduce emissions and stay compliant with IMO regulations.

  • Risk Assessment for RecyclingAI can evaluate historical vessel data—operational, structural, and environmental—to provide smarter valuation and recycling pathway planning.

  • Automated Documentation & Compliance ChecksNatural Language Processing tools help scan and validate recycling reports, green passports, and decommissioning protocols in seconds.

Somap’s AI-Driven Impact

At Somap, AI enables us to:

  • Deliver faster, data-backed insights for asset owners

  • Automate parts of the due diligence and compliance process

  • Reduce human error in risk-sensitive projects

  • Offer more competitive, transparent proposals to stakeholders

By embedding AI into our workflow, we’re building smarter partnerships—anchored in trust and precision.

The ESG Advantage

With stricter reporting requirements and rising investor expectations around ESG, AI provides a key edge. It enables traceability, evidence-based reporting, and optimized end-of-life strategies that meet both financial and environmental benchmarks.

Conclusion

AI isn’t replacing maritime expertise—it’s amplifying it. At Somap Global, we combine decades of operational experience with the power of machine intelligence to deliver greener, faster, and smarter maritime solutions.
