AskChief, Specialised AI for maritime Technical and HSQE teams, today announced that it is opening its platform to the wider market after surpassing 100 vessels in under a year of live use with shipowners and ship managers. Across customer deployments, use of AskChief typically triples within the first 90 days, reflecting how quickly it becomes part of teams’ daily work.

AskChief has worked with maritime operators including Seanergy Maritime, Castor Ships, Iblea, Delia, IMECS (part of the ITOCHU Group) and others. Their Technical and HSQE teams have helped shape AskChief Technical and AskChief Compliance around real tasks onboard vessels and in shore-based offices.

“AskChief AI turns advanced technical and compliance expertise into clear answers for our shipping professionals to use in real time, onboard our vessels and at the office. That’s the kind of tool a modern fleet should be running,” said Stamatis Tsantanis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp.

Shipping companies have the knowledge they need, but it is fragmented across manuals, SMS, vessel records, past cases and experienced people. Teams waste time rebuilding context, while lessons from one vessel may never reach the next.
