The Challenge
The voyage instructions bottleneck
Operations teams face a significant challenge when creating voyage instructions for masters; gathering critical information from multiple sources, manually tailoring content for specific voyages, and constantly switching between different tasks and systems. This frequent task switching leads to inefficiencies and cognitive fatigue for operations teams.
This time-intensive, manual work pulls operations teams away from higher-value activities, while masters wait for the detailed information they need for effective port call execution.
The Solution
Automated voyage instruction generation
Marcura’s voyage instruction AI agent automates the entire process of creating comprehensive instructions for masters. The system can work with different customer templates and generates all required instructions automatically, from basic voyage information through critical operational details.
Instructions generated include:
Basic voyage information: Load/discharge ports, rotation details
Operational specifics: Cargo declaration, port procedures, speed requirements
Critical execution details: Stevedore damages, bills of lading, cargo handling requirements
Historical insights: Integration with port data and historical laytime information from across the Marcura ecosystem
Rather than manually gathering information from multiple sources and switching between systems, operations teams can generate comprehensive voyage instructions automatically, giving them time to focus on adding insights that support masters and improve port call execution. The tool accommodates different customer templates and workflows, ensuring instructions match each operation's specific requirements and standards.
