The Challenge of Manual Compliance

Managing a vessel’s survey and certification lifecycle is a high-stakes, labor-intensive process. Teams often struggle with scattered data across PDFs, emails, and various class society portals. This manual approach is prone to error, leading to missed deadlines, costly operational delays, and significant compliance risks.

How SIYA Automates Compliance

SIYA Analytics replaces manual tracking with a seamless, automated workflow. We integrate all your compliance data into a single source of truth and use AI to provide actionable intelligence, transforming complex data into a clear path to action.
SIYA Analytics workflow for survey and certification
Our automated engine operates on a continuous three-step cycle:
  1. Data Integration: The system automatically aggregates data from classification societies, vessel documents, and maritime databases into a centralized platform.
  2. AI-Powered Analysis: SIYA’s intelligent engine processes the unified data, validating certificate statuses, identifying upcoming deadlines, and generating prioritized alerts.
  3. Actionable Output: Clear, on-demand reports and dashboard visualizations are delivered to stakeholders, highlighting what needs to be done, by whom, and when.

Core Features & Benefits

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Our system automatically pulls and normalizes data from numerous maritime sources, including leading classification societies (e.g., DNV, ClassNK, ABS), official PDFs, and secure websites. This saves hundreds of hours and removes the risk of human error.

Achieve Total Fleet Visibility

Gain a single, unified dashboard view of all critical compliance data for your entire fleet. Drill down from a fleet-level overview to a specific vessel’s certificate or machinery item status in seconds.

Never Miss a Deadline

Our intelligent alert system provides proactive notifications for all critical events, ensuring you are always ahead of schedule.
  • Periodical Survey Alerts: Timely notifications for upcoming Annual, Intermediate, and Special Surveys.
  • Certificate & Crew Compliance: Actively tracks expiry dates for all vessel certificates, crew Certificates of Competency (CoC), and dispensations.
  • Flag State Intelligence: The system incorporates specific flag state logic. For example, for a Panama-flagged vessel, it automatically understands that a new certificate is re-issued directly by the flag authority upon expiry, preventing false alerts.

Generate Instant, Actionable Reports

Instantly generate a detailed Survey Status Report with one click. The report doesn’t just list dates—it actively highlights all upcoming and overdue items, providing a clear action plan for your team.
Real-World Application: A vessel superintendent generates their daily status report. The SIYA-powered report automatically flags an expiring CoC for the Chief Engineer on Vessel A and an upcoming annual survey for Vessel B. The superintendent can forward this actionable report directly to the respective ship masters to ensure timely completion.
Success: Automated Intelligence: SIYA’s system processes compliance data points daily across multiple classification societies, reducing manual oversight and preventing missed deadlines.

Maritime Survey Types & Classification Society Requirements

Our system handles the complete spectrum of maritime surveys required by international classification societies: Periodical Surveys:
  • Annual Survey: Yearly inspection of safety equipment, structural integrity, and operational systems
  • Intermediate Survey: Mid-period comprehensive inspection between special surveys (2.5-year cycle)
  • Special Survey: Complete five-year survey including dry-docking and detailed structural examination
  • Continuous Survey: Ongoing survey program spreading inspection requirements throughout the survey cycle
  • Docking Survey: Underwater hull examination during dry-dock periods
Certificate Management:
  • Safety Management Certificate (SMC): ISM Code compliance for individual vessels
  • Document of Compliance (DOC): Company-level ISM certification
  • Maritime Labour Certificate (MLC): Crew living and working conditions compliance
  • International Safety Management (ISM): Safety management system certification
  • ISSC (International Ship Security Certificate): Maritime security compliance
Warning: Classification Society Integration: SIYA connects directly to 9+ major classification societies with multiple DOC (Document of Compliance) company credentials, ensuring comprehensive coverage across the global fleet.

Technical Deep Dive: The SIYA Classification Society Engine

The core of our Survey Management module is a sophisticated backend built with Python that connects directly to major classification societies including DNV, ABS, ClassNK (NK), Bureau Veritas (BV), China Classification Society (CCS), Lloyd’s Register (LR), Korean Register (KR), Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), and RINA. The system processes real maritime compliance data for active vessels worldwide.
