THE FIRST CREW CHANGE PLANNING AI PLATFORM

See the crew plan you missed.

Astrolabe evaluates over 1,000 viable crew-change scenarios in seconds, balancing cost, compliance, operational timing and seafarer welfare to reveal the strongest crew change plans.

With Astrolabe more options are evaluated, stronger plans are revealed 

Every crew change involves a complex combination of people, vessels, ports, travel, regulations and time. Within those variables are many viable plans, each with different implications for cost, compliance, operational timing and seafarer welfare.

Astrolabe evaluates viable scenarios across the fleet, bringing to crewing teams far more possibilities into consideration. It ranks the strongest alternatives and explains the trade-offs behind each one, identifying a better overall plan.

The constraint is not judgement. It is the number of viable alternatives a team can evaluate before time runs out.

FLEET OVERVIEW
