Maritime-led Solutions
While generic AI implementations struggle, purpose-built maritime solutions are demonstrating clear value. Marcura's AI-powered charter party analysis helped one dry bulk operator avoid over $120,000 in potential losses by identifying four critical clauses missing from a draft agreement.
