Expertise

Weather Routing & Ships Analytics

Physics-based ship modelling (Holtrop–Mennen resistance, propulsion chain, SFOC curves), A* pathfinding with safety constraints (wave height, roll, slamming), and Monte Carlo fuel estimation across ECMWF/GFS scenarios producing P10/P50/P90 distributions. Vessel performance analytics: noon-report calibration, voyage replay, and CII compliance reporting.

Cargo Simulation

Practical maritime software grounded in operational experience across crude oil, chemicals, LNG, LPG, containers, and project loads. Active developments include LCSMar — a physics-based digital twin of oil/chemical tanker cargo systems modelling inert gas, piping hydraulics, methanol dual-fuel operations, cargo heating, crude-oil washing, and intact stability with hull-girder strength — deployed in production (v0.2.0) as a crew-training pilot for a shipowner, alongside passage-planning automation and vessel performance tooling.

WindMar — Weather & Route Analysis

Grounded in physics. Designed for ship operations.

WindMar combines hydrodynamic modelling, meteorological data, and constrained pathfinding to model routes accounting for hull resistance, propulsion efficiency, and cargo loading under realistic ocean conditions. A reference implementation developed by a Master Mariner for research and education.

  • Global CMEMS/GFS weather layers with wave, wind, current, SST, and ice fields
  • Dual optimization: minimum fuel and minimum time with safety constraints
  • Full passage plan output with waypoints, ETA, and bunker estimates
  • CII compliance scoring for decarbonization reporting

LCSMar — Liquid Cargo Operations Simulator

Document-true to the ship. Deployed in production (v0.2.0).

LCSMar is a physics-based digital twin of a Reference MR Tanker's cargo plant, built from the vessel's class drawings by a serving Master Mariner — cargo, ballast, inert gas, tank cleaning, heating, and methanol dual-fuel operations in one real-time engine. In production as a crew-training pilot for a shipowner: ship and office staff train in parallel, isolated sessions.

  • Mass-conserving hydraulic network solver across five piping systems — line-ups, pumps, non-return valves
  • Methanol bunkering, transfer, and engine-running with start-permissive chains and ESD cause-and-effect
  • Stability and hull-girder strength validated against class documents (booklet curves reproduced, R² ≈ 0.99)
  • Loadicator-PDF condition library, instructor malfunction injection, deterministic replay
