The question nobody answers

A maritime claim just occurred. What is your best path to recovery?

Risk platforms track vessels. Demurrage tools calculate laytime. Underwriting AI prices premiums. But once a claim occurs — no one tells you whether to fight, where to fight, or how to win. SeaNapse does. Powered by 30 years of real claim outcome data.

How It Works

Nine intelligent workflows — built for practitioners

Each workflow integrates AI analysis with 30 years of real claim outcome data. Not models trained on textbooks — models trained on results.

01

Document ingestion & evidence analysis

Automated parsing of charter parties, B/Ls, survey reports, and correspondence. Identifies gaps, contradictions, and preservation risks before legal costs begin.

02

Claim cause & quantum assessment

Root-cause investigation, liability structure, quantum calculation, and claims statement preparation — powered by practitioner-built RAG knowledge engine.

03

18-point claims due diligence

Evidence strength, quantum verification, counterparty solvency, enforceability, and cost-benefit — all assessed before committing resources.

04

Five-factor viability scoring

Legal basis, evidence strength, counterparty solvency, enforceability, and cost-benefit scored independently. Fight, negotiate, or walk away — answered with data.

05

Jurisdiction intelligence & strategy

Top maritime jurisdictions compared by arrest success rate, enforcement speed, and cost. Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, UK, and 50+ others.


How It Works — continued

Workflows 5 — 9

06

Counterparty solvency profiling

Asset visibility, beneficial ownership tracing, P&I cover verification, prior default history, and sanctions screening — before committing to litigation.

07

Asset tracing & mortgage monitoring

Counterparty ships, accounts, and assets tracked in real time across jurisdictions.

08

Net recovery simulation

Step-by-step action plan — negotiate, arrest, arbitrate, or litigate — with cost-benefit simulation.

09

Contract risk feedback

Mortgage default monitoring, vessel value tracking, NPL portfolio scoring for ship finance institutions.


Differentiation

The empty space in maritime AI

Every existing platform answers a different question. Nobody answers the most critical one after a claim occurs: how do I maximize recovery?
