RemoteNavigational Audit

Our AI-powered analysis connects VDR navigational data, bridge communications, ECDIS & Radar imagery to identify safety-critical events and reveal insights that traditional reviews may overlook. Experienced navigational auditors assess the evidence and deliver high-quality navigational audit reports with clear findings and practical recommendations.

01 / The evidence

Three sourcesOne timeline

Each source tells part of the story. Aligned on a single clock, they show what was said, what was displayed and how the vessel was moving at the same moment.

Navigation data

We analyse VDR navigation data across the agreed voyage period, including position, course, speed, under-keel clearance and closest point of approach (CPA) to other vessels, alongside other available navigational parameters.

PositionCourseSpeedUnder-keel clearanceCPAMore

Bridge audio

Bridge and VHF communications, transcribed and placed on the timeline so every order and exchange sits beside the vessel movement.

ECDIS & Radar image analysis

We examine ECDIS and Radar images for available evidence, including displayed chart information, vessel positions and navigational context. Relevant evidence is reviewed alongside navigation data and bridge audio.

02 / What your team receives

A structured reportEvidence behind every finding

From the voyage summary and chronological events to bridge team assessments, findings and detailed navigational analysis, the report connects each observation to its supporting evidence.

Bridge team practices and communication

The auditor reviews operational practices and communication against the available evidence and assessment criteria.

  • Navigational practices and procedures
  • Pilotage and bridge team coordination
  • Communication clarity and active listening
Comments reflect the evidence available for assessment.

    Your team
A few things to know

Your questions,answered.

What data do you need?

We start with your VDR manufacturer and model, the recording period, available evidence, and relevant documentation, such as the passage plan, vessel particulars, and bridge and bell logbooks. You can also share your assessment priorities, including specific navigational concerns, bridge-team performance, or requirements related to TMSA navigational assurance and SIRE 2.0 preparation. Our team will work with you to define the appropriate audit scope, ensuring that the assessment delivers meaningful findings, actionable recommendations, and relevant supporting evidence.

Does AI make the final assessment?

The final assessment is made by an experienced auditor. AI supports transcription, preparation and event identification. The auditor reviews the context and determines the findings and recommendations.

How long does an audit take?

Standard delivery is 5 days after validation of the complete dataset for the agreed scope. We confirm the delivery date before work begins. If you need it sooner, reach out and we’ll do our best based on your needs. Additional analysis or incomplete recordings may require a revised schedule.

Which VDR formats do you support?

Share your manufacturer, model and export details. We confirm compatibility and any preparation required before accepting the audit.

How is confidential information handled?

Transfer arrangements, access permissions and retention terms are agreed before you share recordings. Please discuss specific confidentiality requirements with us during scoping.
