Every commercial vessel in the world manages compliance, crew tasks, and vetting through disconnected tools — paper forms, WhatsApp groups, and software designed in the 1990s. We are building the platform that replaces all of it.
Every task, every compliance document, every inspection response passes through the captain's inbox. Captains lose 3–4 hours per day to avoidable administrative work — during regulated rest periods. The rest of the crew are invisible to management, untracked, and unmotivated.
SIRE 2.0 — now mandatory across the global tanker fleet — introduced 1,200+ dynamic inspection questions, real-time performance scoring, and digital evidence requirements. Operators are managing this with email chains and paper checklists. A single failed vetting costs €290,000–€340,000 in lost charter revenue.
Leading fleet platforms were built for captains managing maintenance schedules — single-user, desktop-first, blind to everything below the bridge. Crew-level operational software has under 5% penetration across the global commercial fleet. This is not a crowded market. It is an empty one.
Kludon takes its name from the ancient Greek word for the surge of the ocean. The force that moves everything. We are building the platform that brings that same force to the operational layer of every vessel — giving every person on board the tools they need to do their job.
We are building the vessel operations platform the industry has never had. A single workspace for every person on board — compliance, task management, vetting readiness, and crew communication. Built from zero, for the way shipping actually works.
