Marine Intelligence Weekly

Independent editorial magazine for marine engineers and maritime professionals. Technical analysis, regulatory updates, operational intelligence, and AI in shipping. Built from scratch each issue, guided by GA4 reader analytics.

Issue 29 · 14 July 2026
AI Moves Into the Watch
USCG's fifth annual CTIME report finds AI-enabled cyber defences deliver mixed results depending on configuration, not the tool itself. DNV's RuleAgent and the Orca AI–NorthStandard fleet study remain the strongest deployment evidence. UK ETS goes live.

The Intelligence Gap: Project Harrison & the Architecture Maritime AI Doesn't Have

A two-part investigative series on Project Harrison — the open-source maritime AI non-profit building tooling that actually works at sea. Based on a direct interview with Jordan Taylor, USCG unlimited licence holder and Founder of Project Harrison. Includes an exclusive angle no one else has covered: the engine room reasoning gap.

Part A · Navigation & VCP
Why Maritime AI Needs a New Architecture

VCP, MIRA benchmark 50/50, SSOF roadmap, and why maritime ranks near the bottom of AI value-creation domains.
