About this resource

Every tool below has AI capabilities either built in or added as a feature update. For each tool, we have linked directly to the vendor's data handling and privacy policy documentation - not their homepage. We have also included the specific steps to turn off model training or data sharing where an opt-out exists. The question to ask of every tool on this list: Is this tool in use in our organisation, and do we know what it does with our data?

About this resource

A working glossary for operators, not researchers. Each term gets a one-line definition followed by a short, plain-language explanation of what it means in a maritime context — why it matters, where it shows up in day-to-day work, and what to watch for when assessing vendor claims.
