MARIZE — Maritime Regulatory Intelligence as a Service: predict EU compliance changes 12–24 months early

What MARIZE does

MARIZE is an AI-powered regulatory intelligence service for the maritime industry. It analyses IMO circulars (MSC and MEPC) the moment they are published and predicts the resulting EU regulatory response 12 to 24 months before the European Commission issues a Regulation or Directive. Compliance teams get a structured early warning instead of waiting for EU instruments and EMSA guidance to appear.

Conventions covered

SOLAS (all chapters including II-1, II-2, III, IV, V, IX/ISM Code, XI-1, XI-2 ISPS, XIV Polar), MARPOL (Annexes I, II, IV, V, VI including FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS), STCW, MLC, BWM, COLREG, Hong Kong Convention, AFS Convention and Load Lines.

How the pipeline works

1. Extract proposed changes from IMO circulars at provision level.

2. 2. Map each change to the relevant EU instrument using a 25-entry IMO→EU mapping (Directive 2002/59/EC for SOLAS V, Regulation 336/2006 for ISM Code, Directive 2016/802 + FuelEU Maritime for MARPOL VI, etc.).

3. 3. Run RAG retrieval against the actual EU regulation text (FAISS + BM25 across 19 indexed instruments).

4. 4. Assess compliance: full_gap, partial_gap, fully_covered or mapping_uncertain.

5. 5. Generate ranked recommendations across the full hierarchy — EU Regulation, Directive, Delegated Act, EMSA guideline — weighted by the obligation level of the IMO source ("shall" vs "should").

6. 6. Run national transposition analysis for Spain, Portugal and Ireland against 38 indexed national acts.

7. 7. Tag every recommendation to one of the 13 ISM Code elements so it maps directly to a Safety Management System procedure.

What clients get

• Per-circular debug reports (forward: IMO→EU) and coverage reports (reverse: EU proposal→pipeline).

• - A dashboard with aggregate findings, compliance gaps and validation scores.

• - Recommendations tagged to ISM elements and ready for SMS update workflows.

• - Vessel-applicability filters (vessel type, gross tonnage, flag state, voyage type) so a 200 GT yacht operator never sees recommendations for 5,000+ GT cargo ships.

Four-level trust ladder for output customisation

• Level 1: Generic recommendations (live today).

• - Level 2: Profile-filtered by fleet attributes (vessel type, GT, flag, class, trade area).

• - Level 3: Sovereign SMM parsing — 600+ regex patterns run locally on the client's Safety Management Manual; only boolean attributes leave the device.

• - Level 4: Full SMM upload under NDA — before/after diffs against the client's own SMS procedures and DOC-insertable text.

Who this is for

Ship managers, classification societies, flag administrations, P&I clubs, maritime law firms, and consultancies supporting compliance teams. The longer 12–24 month IMO→EU gap (vs 6–9 months in aviation), fragmented EU authority, and Port State Control detention risk make early-warning intelligence materially more valuable in maritime than in aviation.
