Ship and shore, on the same page.

Maritime operations run on documents that have to agree: charter parties, bills of lading, statements of facts, class certificates, port requirements, flag regulations. Nous AI lets operators, charterers and post-fixture teams ask in plain English and get answers grounded in the actual clause, not somebody's recollection of it.

The reality

Every voyage is a paper trail. Every dispute is in the fine print.

Chartering, Operations, Technical, Crew and HSQE each keep their own document world: recaps and CP riders, SOFs, planned-maintenance records and survey reports, crew certificates, the safety management system. One overlooked clause becomes a demurrage dispute; one lapsed certificate becomes a detention. The knowledge is all written down, in five places at once. Nous AI makes it answerable across all of them, with the governing document cited on every answer.

Watch it work

The clause, not the recollection.

A demurrage question that would normally cost an evening with the charter party and the SOF, answered in one pass: exceptions applied, time bar checked, every figure traceable to the document it came from.

MV Kalliste at Santos: are we on demurrage, and who carries the rain delays?
Laytime expired 14:30 on 12 June; the vessel is 2 days 6 hours on demurrage at $28,500/day, $64,125 to date. Rain stoppages totalling 31 hours are excepted under CP clause 19 and already deducted, per the SOF.
What's the time bar for the claim?
Clause 23 gives 90 days from completion of discharge, with full supporting documents. Discharge completed 15 June, so the claim must be presented by 13 September. The SOF, NOR and pumping log are compiled and linked.
