As we enter 2025, we pause to reflect on a year that redefined possibilities at Blue Water Trade Winds. Few moments in recent history rival the significance of the generative AI revolution, ignited in 2023 and catalyzed into practical enterprise innovation throughout 2024. While early glimpses of AI captured imaginations, 2024 became the proving ground where the reasoning capabilities of advanced AI models took center stage. For Blue Water, 2024 marked the culmination of relentless effort and ingenuity with the launch of Aanya—our cutting-edge AI agent poised to revolutionize maritime software.
Aanya is an orchestration of generative AI agents that are capable of reasoning and equipped with maritime tools and data. Developed in collaboration with NeugenAI, we are proud to announce that Aanya is now integrated with the BOSS platform, serving as a one-stop solution for all your queries. Aanya goes beyond data retrieval and analysis by allowing a seamless conversational interface with the BOSS platform. Read more about the Aanya launch here.
Last year, we made significant strides in our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Our key services, BOSS and CHM (Cargo Heating Management), continued to evolve, and we observed a substantial increase in our clientele. Below are some of the highlights from 2024:
VPS and Blue Water: We are thrilled to mention our strategic partnership with VPS, a leader in marine fuel testing and decarbonisation and Blue Water Trade Winds, innovators in maritime solutions. This alliance is set to transform the maritime sector by elevating digital services that enhance efficiency and significantly reduce emissions and fuel usage in vessel operations.
At the heart of this collaboration is the integration of Blue Water’s Optimum Speed Services (BOSS) with VPS decarb platform. This partnership gives global clients exclusive access to superior vessel reporting and innovative voyage planning tools, marking a milestone in our commitment to pioneering a greener maritime industry.
Carbon Wallet Integrates with BOSS: We are excited to announce a transformative addition to our BOSS module—thanks
to our new partnership with Carbon Wallet, EUA trading is now seamlessly integrated
within BOSS. This strategic enhancement is tailored to empower our clients with
direct access to the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), streamlining the
process of carbon credit management and compliance.
As of January 2024, with EU regulations extending to cover all large ships, the need for precise and efficient emissions tracking has never been greater. The integration of Carbon Wallet into BOSS allows users to manage EUA trading directly from our platform, providing a one-stop solution for navigating the complexities of emissions trading. This update not only simplifies compliance and trading of EUAs but also propels our commitment to sustainable shipping practices. With BOSS and Carbon Wallet, clients gain unparalleled control over their emissions management strategies, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
VINCI is Blue Water’s cutting-edge AI-powered platform, designed to redefine how maritime inspections and compliance are managed. Tailored for merchant vessels, VINCI supports the seamless handling of a wide range of inspections, including PSC, ISM Audits, SIRE, and RightShip.
By leveraging advanced gen AI and maritime expertise, VINCI simplifies preparation, enhances decision-making, and ensures vessels remain inspection-ready in a constantly evolving regulatory environment. Read more about VINCI’s SIRE Switch solution here.
Precision in EUETS Compliance Saves $100,000 for Our Client: During a compliance review under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EUETS), our team identified critical discrepancies in emissions data, exposing the client to significant non-compliance risks and potential eua prices of $100,000. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of the BOSS system’s EUETS module, we meticulously reconciled the submitted data with actual vessel operations, ensuring full alignment with regulatory requirements.
How BOSS Uncovered Over $600,000 in Off-Hire Claims Using Minimal Voyage Data:
Blue Water’s BOSS team helped a client identify significant discrepancies in their bulk carrier’s Charter Party (CP) warranties, saving thousands in fuel costs and minimizing delays. Through a detailed performance evaluation of voyages from August to November 2024, using advanced tools like a digital twin and AIS data, BOSS uncovered critical inefficiencies.
As we close another successful year, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our clients and partners. Your trust and continued support are the cornerstones of our achievements and inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation and service excellence.
In 2025, we are excited to continue our journey towards a sustainable maritime future by integrating AI into the fabric of our maritime software. We truly believe, technology can unlock new possibilities and drive us towards a greener, more efficient maritime industry. Stay tuned for more updates on our latest projects and initiatives.
