Core-process AI. Not pilot AI.
BCG's 2026 logistics-AI study: 70% of companies pilot, 7% see measurable improvement, 1% have AI in core processes. Hullproof is built to land in the 1%. The numbers below map to the same pillars BCG and McKinsey use — slot them straight into a CDO's existing transformation roadmap.
Fleet excellence
Up to 8% OpEx reduction
Closing biofouling + coating-degradation drag on fuel burn. BCG flags 8% OpEx reduction as the upper bound for fleet-efficiency programs. Hullproof structured biofouling assessment is the prerequisite.
BCG, Achieving a Sea Change in Maritime Decarbonization (2025)
Up to 10% fleet-efficiency improvement
BCG benchmark; biofouling reversal is the single largest tractable lever inside the 10%. Structured per-vessel condition data is what unlocks it at fleet scale.

Vessel-cost optimization
Inspection cycle: hours, not weeks
Hullproof reads ROV / drone / handheld footage in hours. Same engineering review workflow runs on structured CoatingPassport instead of unstructured PDF. Faster turnaround, fewer report-writing hours, identical engineering judgment.
One JSON contract across 13 verticals
No per-asset-type bespoke integration. McKinsey vessel-cost optimization treats data integration as a fixed cost; CoatingPassport reduces that fixed cost to one schema.
McKinsey maritime practice three-pillar transformation
Decarbonization leadership
Verifier-grade EU ETS evidence pack
Structured biofouling + condition evidence verifiers actually ask for. Per-passport applicable_standards array covers EU ETS Maritime + IMO CII + FuelEU Maritime + Poseidon Principles where applicable.
IMO MEPC mandatory-regime ready (≈2030)
MEPC.207(62) shifts voluntary → mandatory through MEPC 84 (May 2026) → draft 2029 → enforcement ≈2030. Fleets with structured assessment infrastructure today are positioned for the regulatory ramp.
Core vs. pilot AI
Core-process AI, not pilot AI
BCG: 70% of companies pilot AI; 7% see measurable improvement; 1% have it in core processes. Hullproof is the 1%-shape — JSON-first, schema-conformant, integration-layer-ready, multi-tenant from day one.
BCG, AI Is Already Moving the Logistics Industry Forward (2026)
Audit-grade lineage out of the box
Every finding traces back to source frames + AI model version + confidence score. EU AI Act high-risk-AI-system documentation ready; not retrofitted, built-in.
The value test we run on every pilot
- Pick one asset. One inspection cycle. One integration target.
- Hullproof emits CoatingPassport from real footage in hours, not weeks.
- Your team validates: does the structured output reduce report-writing hours, accelerate engineering review, and feed the integration target cleanly?
- If yes — scope tier-2 fleet rollout. If no — keep the evidence pack, no further commitment.
