AI-powered vessel operations platform using edge computer vision
Orca AI deploys computer-vision and AI systems directly onto vessels using NVIDIA Jetson + Triton + TensorRT, processing visual feeds in real time at the edge rather than cloud. The tech stack—containerized Kubernetes pipelines, WebRTC comms, PyTorch models, observability tools—reflects a company solving the hard problem of embedding AI into maritime hardware under constrained connectivity. Active hiring is sales-weighted (10 roles) over engineering (8), signaling a shift from product-led development toward capture of large shipping and emerging defense contracts.
Notable leadership hires: Business Development Director, Regional Sales Director
Orca AI builds an AI operations platform for cargo vessels and tankers, founded in 2018 by former Navy operators. The product uses onboard computer vision to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance in real-world maritime conditions—dense ports, high-traffic sea lanes, complex regulations. Over 1,200 vessels have been installed as of June 2025, including deployments across major shipping lines. The company operates from London, Athens, Singapore, and Tel Aviv with 110 employees, and is actively expanding into APAC markets and defense applications.
Edge AI inference on NVIDIA Jetson hardware using Triton, TensorRT, and ONNX. PyTorch for model training, Kubernetes for containerization, and WebRTC for vessel-to-cloud comms. Backend on AWS Lambda; dashboarding via Looker and Tableau.
Over 1,200 vessels have been booked and installed with the platform as of June 2025, deployed across shipping lines including MSC, Seaspan, Maran Tankers, NYK, and Marubeni.
Orca AI's technology stack, projects, and hiring signals are inferred from public hiring and company data — career pages, public listings, and company web presence — then clustered and de-duplicated. Figures are estimates that refresh over time. Read our full methodology →
