Maritime compliance technology company BetterSea has launched Stylianos, an AI agent designed to help shipping companies assess carbon compliance exposure and prepare execution strategies.
The tool is integrated into BetterSea’s existing platform rather than operating as a standalone chatbot. It can analyse vessel and voyage scenarios, compare compliance options and help users source market quotations.
Stylianos supports workflows covering FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, UK ETS, Djibouti’s carbon tax and Gabon’s carbon tax. It can also assess potential pool compositions, identify quotations for FuelEU surplus and ETS transactions, and conduct counterparty risk checks.
The AI agent can, for example, calculate the expected compliance cost of a vessel’s upcoming voyages and help source market options for the required EUAs or FuelEU surplus.
BetterSea said Stylianos operates under a human-in-the-loop model. It can analyse, recommend and prepare actions, but users must review and approve transactions before they are executed.
The company also said customer data is not used to train its AI models, with vessel, operational, commercial and compliance information remaining confidential.
“Shipping companies are dealing with more compliance data, more regulations, and more execution steps than ever before, on top of their day-to-day workload. Stylianos is our time-saving answer to that complexity,” said Maximilian Schroer, Co-CEO of BetterSea.
Dr. Gordana Ilic, Co-CEO of BetterSea, said the system is intended to give users the speed of AI while retaining oversight over regulatory, financial and contractual decisions.
Stylianos is available through the BetterSea platform at no additional cost to users.
