AI for sailors and marine oilers who want fewer tabs open, not more.
There's a version of "AI for sailors and marine oilers" that gets bought off a shelf and quietly stops getting used inside a month.
AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Good questions, answered
What does AI cost for a sailors and marine oilers team?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Anyone else in this space using AI?
Plenty. AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What if our sailors and marine oilers team doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI specifically, we typically run that work on Answer status and booking questions, Automate dispatch updates, Draft and route paperwork, Summarise logs and reports and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Can reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
