Vessel Guard-AI Based Human Factor Risk Detection

Vessel Guard is an AI-assisted maritime safety system designed to prevent human-error-related accidents caused by fatigue, stress, and reduced operational readiness onboard vessels. Life at sea exposes crew members to shift work, sleep fragmentation, vibration, isolation, and high-risk tasks in deck, engine, and bridge operations. While many shipping companies provide access to teletherapy with reactive tools and disconnected from daily operational safety decisions. They do not integrate fatigue thresholds, maritime regulations, or structured escalation to command. Vessel Guard addresses this by combining short daily crew check-ins with a deterministic rules engine based on MLC fatigue standards and wellbeing scales. The system translates human factors into operational risk levels ) and escalates only high-risk cases to the Captain or designated officer. The AI layer does not diagnose or classify risk. It extracts structured data and generates safety-focused summaries, while final decisions remain human-controlled. This human-in-the-loop design ensures regulatory alignment, privacy protection, and institutional credibility. Vessel Guard is designed for maritime sector seeking proactive duty-of-care compliance, improved safety culture, and measurable reduction of fatigue-related incidents—without adding administrative burden to crew.
