Marcura AI for chartering and operations. Handover generation. 

Manual handover creation is time-intensive and error-prone 

One of the most critical yet often overlooked processes in shipping operations is the knowledge transfer between chartering and operations teams once a voyage is fixed.  

Without a standardised process, this handover becomes difficult to scale consistently across different teams and locations.  

Operations teams need comprehensive information to execute port calls smoothly, but creating detailed handovers manually is time-intensive administrative work that pulls chartering teams away from fixing new business. The challenge compounds when you consider that different vessel types, cargo categories, and operational requirements demand customised information. There's no one-size-fits-all template that works for every situation.

Automated Handover Generation 

Our AI handover generation tool eliminates the administrative burden while ensuring operations teams receive all necessary information for smooth port call execution.  The system can generate comprehensive handovers for both voyage charter and time charter operations, covering dry and tanker cargos with vessel-specific requirements. 

The tool creates customised handovers in under 40 seconds, including: 

• Standard operational topics relevant to the specific vessel and cargo type 

• Additional critical topics that ensure smooth execution 

• Cargo-specific considerations (like tanker cargo requirements shown in the demo) 

• Customisable topic ranges that adapt to different operational needs rather than forcing standard templates 

The generated handovers can also serve as pre-arrival guidelines and integrate with historical laytime data to provide operations teams with performance insights from previous similar voyages. 

Most importantly, the AI model can be embedded directly within existing workflows - including Sedna and Microsoft Outlook integration- so teams don't need to change their established processes. Generate handovers with just three clicks, or automate the process entirely within your existing email systems.

The handover generation tool is one of a rapidly growing suite of AI capabilities now in production and ready for use by customers, either within the Marcura productivity suite or embedded into existing workflows via API integration.
