The answer is in your manual.Maridex finds it.

AI assistant

Ask in your own words. Get the passage and the page.

The assistant searches only your documents: the ISM manual, circulars, makers’ manuals. Every statement links to its source, with document, revision and page. If the documents don’t cover a question, it says so instead of guessing. It answers whenever the vessel is online; reading and search work without a connection.

  • No internet, no general knowledge
  • Every answer cites its source
  • Questions in your crew’s language, sources from your documents

Why Maridex

From binders and email to one current system.

The ISM manual, circulars, certificates and makers’ manuals still travel by email, USB stick and paper. Every revision costs the office time, and the master’s question costs a phone call. Maridex replaces both with one system for the office and every vessel.

With Maridex

Binders on board, often not on the current revision

Exactly the current revision on every vessel, automatically

Masters emailing the office for the latest form

Every current form already on board, ready to fill in

Which revision is on which ship? Ask the master.

Every vessel’s revisions and last update at a glance

Hundreds of pages to search for one answer

Ask in plain words and get the answer with the page

Old folders searched when the auditor asks

Every revision and every change on record, ready to export

How it works

From the office to every vessel, without a single email.

  1. 1

    Publish in the office

    Upload a new revision in the dashboard. It is current at once; the previous one stays in the history.

  2. 2

    Vessels update themselves

    Maridex Onboard fetches only what changed, over Starlink or VSAT. If the connection drops, it continues where it stopped.

  3. 3

    Crew work offline

    Crew read, search and save copies of forms without a connection. The assistant answers whenever the vessel is online.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can crew change documents?

No. The documents on board are read-only and nothing can be imported. Crew can save a copy of a file, for example to fill in a form, and the original in Maridex stays unchanged.

Do we still need the master’s receipt for each amendment?

Maridex records when each vessel received each revision, and the fleet overview shows any vessel that is behind. Whether that replaces your receipt form is for your safety management system to decide.

Which file formats are supported?

PDF, Word, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, text and more. A file that can’t be read is still distributed; it just isn’t searchable.

How do we get our existing documents in?

Upload your folders and files in the dashboard; your structure stays as it is. If you prefer, our setup service does it for you.

Where is our data stored, and what does the AI see?

In your private instance in a German data centre. To make your documents searchable and to answer questions, their text and each question are processed by the AI service. On request, the assistant uses your own AI provider instead. Our data processing agreement is published under Legal. Read more

What happens to our data if we leave?

You receive an export of your documents with their revisions. Then your whole system is deleted, including all data and backups. Read more
