Proprietary Maritime & Customs Models

Domain-specific port & trade intelligence.

Trained on 520,000+ ISO container gate scans, IICL-6 repair manuals, and ECOWAS Common External Tariff declarations.

Model 01 • 3D Stereo-Depth Container & Seal Vision

ContainerVision™ (PortViT-ISO-v4)

Trained on 520,000+ IICL-6 Gate Scans

The Container Deposit Trap:

Across Tin Can Island, Apapa, and Onne, importers and clearing houses lose hundreds of millions of Naira annually when shipping-line depots charge inflated repair fees for pre-existing dents, floor delamination, or minor scratches that fall well within IICL-6 wear-and-tear tolerances.

How PortViT-ISO-v4 Solves It:

ContainerVision™ fuses 4K RGB imagery with stereo-depth point clouds to measure dent depth to ±1.2mm precision, classifies rust oxidation age to prove pre-existing marine damage, and auto-generates an IICL-6 compliant Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and signed EIR in 350ms.

Technical Specifications:

  • Architecture:Stereo-ViT + ISO 6346 / 17712 Macro-OCR
  • Inference Engine:NVIDIA TensorRT on L40S & Jetson Orin
  • IICL-6 Grading Precision:99.5% Concordance with Certified Surveyors
  • TOS EDI Output:UN/EDIFACT CODECO, CEDEX & Navis N4 API
Model 02 • Customs HS-Code & Pre-Arrival PAAR Underwriting

TariffSentinel™ (HSCode-Transformer-v3)

99.7% NICIS II First-Pass Accuracy

The Demurrage Spiral:

Once a vessel berths and the 7-to-14 shipping-line free days expire, progressive container demurrage and terminal storage charges compound daily. Most delays stem from preventable HS-code misclassifications or valuation mismatches between Form M and the PAAR.

How HSCode-Transformer-v3 Solves It:

TariffSentinel™ ingests commercial invoices, technical datasheets, and Bills of Lading 72 hours prior to arrival—mapping every line item to the 10-digit ECOWAS CET schedule and benchmarking declared FOB values against historical NCS valuation corridors.

Customs Underwriting Inputs (0 to 850 Gauge):

Duty, Levy, Excise & VAT calculation.

Model 03 • Combinatorial Yard Stacking & Call-Up Optimization

BerthYield™ (YardStack-cuOpt-v2)

NVIDIA cuOpt™ Accelerated

The Re-Marshalling Bottleneck:

In high-density bonded terminals, stacking containers without knowing their exact customs release hour forces reach-stackers to shuffle 3 to 5 blocking boxes for every gate-out—wasting thousands of liters of diesel and backing up port access roads.

Predictive Dwell-Time Slotting:

By combining TariffSentinel™ clearance scores with live truck e-Call-Up GPS telemetry, BerthYield™ predicts each container's exact exit hour and assigns zero-rehandle yard coordinates in Navis N4.

Empirical Terminal Impact:

Gate-Out Turnaround Time:18 Hours (Reduced from 11.4 Days)
Unproductive Yard Re-Stows:-74% Reduction in Crane Moves
Shipping-Line Deposit Refund Time:48 Hours (Automated Escrow)
