Ultranav Scales ShipIn FleetVision Across 420-Vessel Fleet — AI Safety Intelligence Goes Fleet-Wide

Ultranav, the Chile-based maritime group managing more than 420 vessels, has expanded its collaboration with ShipIn Systems to deploy FleetVision fleet-wide following a structured single-business-unit pilot — making it one of the largest fleet-wide rollouts of AI-powered onboard video analytics in commercial shipping to date. The deployment covers Ultranav's full fleet diversity: tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, gas carriers, and more than 90 harbour tugs and offshore support vessels. The system integrates ShipIn's Bridge, Safety, and Technical modules with existing onboard camera infrastructure, meaning no new hardware installation is required — the platform works with what is already mounted on the vessel. What FleetVision actually does: ShipIn's platform uses computer vision to continuously analyse onboard video streams, generating structured operational insights across three domains. Bridge module insight covers navigation practices, watch-keeping patterns, and command bridge procedures. Safety module insight covers personal protective equipment compliance, working-at-height procedures, and crew activity on deck. Technical module insight surfaces early indicators of equipment condition and maintenance needs. These insights are delivered simultaneously to onboard crew and to shore-based HSQES and technical teams, replacing the traditional model of waiting for incident reports to identify what went wrong. Why the pilot-to-fleet decision matters: Ultranav ran the system within one business unit to test its compatibility with real operating conditions before committing. What the pilot revealed was that FleetVision identified consistent operational and safety patterns without changing established routines or generating disruptive alerts — meaning the technology fits into existing safety management systems rather than creating a parallel bureaucracy. Felipe Alberto Carrillo, Senior Manager and Head of Insurance at Ultranav, described the value not as dramatic incident prevention but as building a "more consistent and structured view of operational risk" that strengthens dialogue between ship and shore. For ship managers evaluating similar systems, this is an important framing — FleetVision is not marketed as a surveillance tool but as a risk visibility platform that supports existing safety culture rather than replacing human judgment with algorithmic verdicts.
