Maritime Intelligence Platform
Maritime Cargo Drafting, Reinvented.
FREQ AI replaces the 4-hour manual barge drafting process with autonomous intelligence — delivering results in 15 minutes with zero crew exposure.
The Problem
An Industry Running on Outdated Methods
Every day, thousands of barges on America's inland waterways undergo a manual cargo drafting process that hasn't changed in decades. Crew members walk barge decks in hazardous conditions, take manual gauge readings, relay numbers by radio, and compile reports by hand. The process takes 4 hours per barge, introduces 1-3% measurement error, and exposes workers to the highest non-navigational fatality risk in the maritime industry.

The Solution
The Intelligence Layer Maritime Has Been Missing
FREQ AI builds autonomous intelligence for maritime cargo operations. Our platform replaces manual processes with AI-driven data acquisition, real-time analysis, and verified reporting — reducing drafting time by over 90% while eliminating crew safety risk entirely.
10–15 Min
Autonomous Drafting
What took 4 hours now takes minutes through automated data acquisition and AI-driven analysis.
Sub-Inch
Precision Measurement
Exceeding manual accuracy by orders of magnitude, eliminating cargo discrepancies and revenue leakage.
Zero
Crew Exposure
No personnel required on deck during drafting operations. Man-overboard risk eliminated entirely.
Real-Time
Continuous Intelligence
Live cargo status, draft readings, and stability metrics available instantly to all stakeholders.
How It Works
Four Steps from Vessel to Verified Report
01
Target
Identify the vessel and define operational parameters for the drafting sequence.
02
Execute
Autonomous data acquisition captures precise measurements across the entire vessel.
03
Analyze
AI-driven intelligence processes raw data into verified cargo metrics in real-time.
04
Report
Comprehensive draft readings, stability analysis, and compliance documentation delivered instantly.
The Opportunity
America's Inland Waterways Are Ready for Transformation
The US inland waterway system is the backbone of domestic commerce — and it's overdue for modernization.
