Blunt pencils, numb minds

There is a saying: no job is finished until the paperwork is done. In this case, work in the maritime industry never ends. Often, instead of smoothly gliding through the calm waters of understandable, convenient and time-saving processes and procedures, the team is sucked into the maelstrom of paperwork.

Most of the data is usually collected as manual notes during operations and then afterwards manually inserted into different systems onboard. An example being data from a checklist to the logbook, internal reports and external reports. All are requiring the same arrival and departure time and the same fuel and crew figures. Hours and hours of manual paperwork yearly.

Forced to fill out oceans of reports, the crew often faces a choice: cheat and fill in everything retroactively, which casts doubt on the data itself, or try to have time to do everything according to the rules, which is sometimes not physically possible at all.

There’s a lot of automation that can happen that isn’t a replacement of humans but of mind-numbing behaviour.

We at Maranics add context to events in order to create a better understanding about the origins and purpose of data. By adding meaning to events we are able to reuse data and automate repetitive tasks. And the crew can focus on tasks that no machine can perform - applying expert knowledge and experience to interpret data and make the right decisions.
