Korea Ocean Business Corporation launches AI platform for maritime firms

Maritime, port, and logistics companies can now test artificial intelligence applications for charter party reviews, laytime calculations, and ship repair cost analyses online, haesanews.com reported. The Korea Ocean Business Corporation launched the new AX DX platform services on October 2, introducing both an AI testing environment and a solution catalog to drive artificial intelligence transformation across the maritime sector.

Online AI Testing for Maritime Contracts and Laytime Calculations

The AX testing service gives marine industry practitioners a hands-on way to evaluate how artificial intelligence handles routine operations across transport, contracts, cargo, vessel operations, port management, and corporate support. Key trial tasks available on the platform include charter party clause reviews, marine repair cost anomaly detection, terminal additional expense calculations, and automated laytime sheet generation.

Within the automated laytime module, the system extracts terms from charter agreements alongside actual loading and unloading records to compute allowable time and draft an initial statement of facts. This automated workflow targets repetitive calculation tasks common in commercial shipping.

Solution Catalog Connects Maritime Firms with AI Providers

Alongside the interactive tests, the platform features a solution catalog designed to bridge maritime companies and technology providers. The directory organizes 36 different software products from 19 domestic and international suppliers according to application fields, regulatory requirements, security standards, and underlying technologies.

Users can search the catalog using keywords to locate appropriate tools, while individual supplier pages detail corporate status, core offerings, delivery track records, and technical specifications. The database also documents intellectual property, deployment methods, and implementation case studies.

Korea Ocean Business Corporation Helps Maritime Firms Deploy AI

The digital release follows prior work by the corporation through its maritime industry artificial intelligence working group, aiming to build a specialized local market for marine technology solutions.

The service is intended to help maritime firms evaluate practical deployment options and identify suitable technology partners, according to Korea Ocean Business Corporation President Ahn Byung-gil.

This service was prepared so that marine companies can directly experience how AI can be utilized in actual work and easily find the corporate and technical information necessary for introduction, Ahn Byung-gil said.

The complete suite of tools remains accessible directly through the official Korea Ocean Business Corporation digital portal.
