The only maritime AI that works offline, at sea.
A cloud-based AI assistant is impressive dockside and useless mid-passage. VOLAX Wavy runs entirely on vessel hardware — answering natural-language queries about maintenance, procurement, crew, and compliance across the whole VOLAX dataset with no satellite link required.
The moment your crew needs answers most is the moment they have the least bandwidth.
Mid-Pacific. Force 8. A generator alarm at 03:17. The Chief Engineer needs the last three service records, the cross-reference for a KIM valve, the isolation procedure from the SMS, and the class survey status — right now. A cloud AI cannot help. Wavy answers all four questions in eight seconds, from the vessel database, in Filipino if the Third Engineer prefers, and never touches a satellite.
Purpose-built maritime intelligence
Wavy is not a general-purpose chatbot with a maritime prompt. It is engineered against the VOLAX dataset, indexed with BM25 for lightning retrieval, and constrained to fill-only autonomy — it suggests, humans decide.
Natural-language queries across every module
“Show me vessels with class items expiring in Rotterdam next quarter.” “Which spares consumed on ME.02 in the last dry dock?” “Any second engineer with tanker endorsement and a July availability window?” Wavy answers in seconds, drawing across PMS, procurement, crew, SHEQ, and compliance.
Fully offline — runs on vessel hardware
No cloud dependency. No API keys leaving the ship. No latency from a satellite hop. Wavy uses efficient on-device retrieval (BM25 over the VOLAX index) and a compact instruction-tuned language model, deployable on modest vessel workstations.
Context-aware operational help
Ask about a work order and Wavy surfaces the equipment history, the last inspector’s notes, the associated risk assessment, the SMS procedure, and the parts consumed on comparable jobs across sister vessels — without you naming any of them.
AI-assisted report generation
Incident reports, near-miss narratives, lessons-learned bulletins, inspection close-outs, superintendent visit summaries. Wavy drafts against the underlying data; the officer reviews, edits, and signs. Compliance-grade output, a fraction of the desk time.
Predictive maintenance recommendations
By reading equipment history across the fleet — not just this vessel — Wavy flags the developing pattern that becomes a breakdown. Bearing temperatures trending on a sister ship’s ME, the same OEM lot number in your inventory, a similar operating profile: look here now.
Regulatory guidance on tap
ISM Code Chapter reference, SOLAS regulation lookup, MARPOL Annex clarification, MLC 2006 Standard interpretation, STCW competence requirement, Port State Control focus themes — Wavy answers plainly, with the citation.
Procurement intelligence
Historical pricing per item, per supplier, per port. Supplier performance scores, on-time delivery records, quality-hold rates. Wavy tells your purchaser which quote to take and why, then the human clicks accept.
Fill-only autonomy
Wavy proposes actions — it never executes them without human sign-off. Generate a work order? Suggest a rank rotation? Approve a requisition? Every proposal surfaces for review. Human authority is preserved absolutely.
Crew competence gap analysis
Given the coming voyage profile and current crew matrix, Wavy identifies missing certificates, expiring endorsements, training gaps, and suggests targeted courses — often before the crewing superintendent has run the query.
Learns from your fleet
Every closed work order, every incident RCA, every dry-dock invoice enriches the on-vessel index. The longer Wavy runs on your fleet, the more relevant its retrieval and the sharper its suggestions.
Every module feeds Wavy. Wavy answers back.
Wavy indexes every module through the unified database. When any module writes, Wavy’s retrieval index updates the same transaction. No ETL, no eventual-consistency, no stale answers.
What ship managers ask us about Wavy
Does Wavy work without internet?
Yes. That is the founding capability. Wavy runs the language model and retrieval index locally on vessel hardware. Zero cloud round-trips. Zero satellite dependency.
Does data leave the ship?
Never for AI inference. The vessel dataset stays on the vessel; sync to office is via the standard VOLAX encrypted differential channel, at your control.
What hardware is required onboard?
A modest vessel workstation with a GPU is sufficient. Wavy is engineered to run on hardware you likely already have running the VOLAX Suite. Detailed specs on request.
Will Wavy replace our superintendents?
No. Wavy is bound to fill-only autonomy. It surfaces information and proposes actions; human authority signs and executes. Your professionals become faster and better-informed, never bypassed.
Which languages does Wavy support?
All 92+ Volaxin languages, in both query and response. Your Filipino motorman asks in Tagalog, gets the answer in Tagalog; your German superintendent asks in German, gets the answer in German — same underlying data.
