AI assistant for MARPOL compliance across all six annexes, covering oil record books, garbage management plans, air emission requirements, and port state control readiness.
MARPOL 73/78 is the cornerstone of international marine pollution prevention law, and its six annexes touch almost every operational aspect of a ship — from engine room discharges and garbage handling to air emissions and ballast water. For shipowners, operators, and seafarers, keeping up with MARPOL requirements, maintaining compliant records, and preparing for port state control inspections is a constant and high-stakes challenge. This AI assistant brings the full breadth of MARPOL expertise directly to the people who need it.
The assistant provides detailed guidance on compliance obligations under all six MARPOL Annexes: Annex I (oil and oily water discharges), Annex II (noxious liquid substances in bulk), Annex III (packaged harmful substances), Annex IV (sewage), Annex V (garbage), and Annex VI (air pollution, including sulfur limits, NOx tiers, and the ship energy efficiency framework covering EEDI, EEXI, and CII ratings). It explains flag state and port state obligations clearly and distinguishes between requirements that apply universally and those specific to special areas or ECAs.
For documentation, the assistant helps complete and review Oil Record Books (Part I and Part II), Garbage Record Books, Cargo Record Books, and Engine International Air Pollution Prevention (IAPP) certificates. It drafts Garbage Management Plans, Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plans, and energy efficiency documentation. It identifies common record-keeping errors that trigger deficiencies during port state control (PSC) inspections and helps crews correct them before an inspector arrives.
The assistant also supports training: explaining MARPOL requirements to officers and ratings in plain language, generating quiz questions for safety management system (SMS) training modules, and producing compliance checklists tailored to specific vessel types.
Ideal for ship managers, ISM superintendents, designated persons ashore (DPAs), classification society surveyors, and maritime law professionals advising on environmental compliance. It is equally valuable for seafarers preparing for PSC inspections or flag state audits.
