Meridia IQ: Faster Maritime Decisions with Conversational AI

Maritime intelligence is still too slow. Analysts jump between systems, checking spreadsheets and AIS feeds just to answer basic questions. Typical examples include:

“Show me all events for vessel 9179842 in the last 7 days” 

“Display all AIS gaps for vessel 9333436 for the last two months”

“List all STS pairings for vessel 9358010 in 2024”

Meridia IQ introduces a faster way to access this information. Built on 25 years of Pole Star’s verified maritime data, the new AI assistant turns natural-language questions into instant answers. Whether it’s vessel particulars, port and zone activity, or ship-to-ship events, Meridia IQ delivers the same analytical depth trusted across the Pole Star platform. It now provides this insight through a faster, conversational interface built for daily decision-making.

Turning Maritime Data Into Decisions, Faster

Most maritime systems still make users work for the answer. Meridia IQ changes that with one question and one complete view.

Ask “Show me the movement history for vessel IMO 9169055” and MeridiaIQ returns the route, port calls, and behaviour summary in seconds.

The assistant connects directly to Pole Star’s core datasets, including vessel particulars, AIS reporting gaps, ship-to-ship events, and port activity. It combines them into a single verified view that eliminates manual compilation. Meridia IQ turns hours of work into a few seconds of insight, giving maritime teams the speed and precision they’ve been missing.

Built for Every Maritime Decision-Maker

From compliance desks to port operations, Meridia IQ brings maritime intelligence to life through conversation.

Trade and market teams can track disruption in real time. When Red Sea closures force tankers to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, a simple query reveals the vessels affected, their new routes, and voyage durations.

Compliance officers can surface risk in seconds. Asking “Has this vessel visited any sanctioned ports in the past year?” returns verified movement histories, including port events, ship-to-ship activity, and AIS gaps.

Port operators can benchmark performance instantly. A query such as “Show me recent port activity for 9832509 between Houston and New Orleans” displays dwell times and scheduling trends, helping teams compare operations and improve turnaround efficiency.

Across trade, compliance, and operations, Meridia IQ turns data into clear, actionable insight for every role in the maritime ecosystem.

Speed, Accuracy, and Access in One Platform

Meridia IQ shortens analysis time without sacrificing accuracy or human oversight.

Traditional maritime compliance screening involves multiple data sources, manual checks, and several people verifying results. Meridia IQ simplifies this process by combining information into a single conversational query. This allows teams to work more efficiently and make informed decisions based on consistent, verified data.

Each result is drawn from our trusted vessel and movement datasets, ensuring consistency across compliance, operations, and market workflows. Every output remains traceable and reviewable so that human expertise stays at the centre of each decision.

By enabling natural-language queries, Meridia IQ extends analytical capability beyond technical users. It makes maritime intelligence faster, easier to access, and more useful across every team.

AI That Supports Human Decisions

Meridia IQ keeps human judgment at the centre of analysis. It accelerates workflows while maintaining control, traceability, and accountability. Every answer is generated from Pole Star’s validated data sources and can be reviewed or audited at any time.

Each result shows the data and logic behind it, giving users a clear view of how insights are formed. Operating within Pole Star’s secure infrastructure, Meridia IQ combines AI speed with professional oversight to deliver explainable, defensible intelligence for compliance and operations.

This approach strengthens trust across every workflow. Meridia IQ enhances expertise rather than replacing it, helping professionals make faster, confident, and accountable decisions.

Practical AI That Fits Existing Workflows

Built within Pole Star’s intelligence ecosystem, the assistant uses the same verified data and secure systems that power Podium and other platform tools.

It connects directly to existing workflows, allowing teams to start using it without changing how they manage fleets, ports, or compliance tasks. Insights produced in the assistant align with the dashboards and alerts already familiar to Pole Star users.

This design keeps the focus on measurable outcomes. It adds speed, accessibility, and conversational intelligence to trusted systems already in use, helping teams strengthen analysis without disruption.

The Future of Maritime Intelligence Is Conversational

Meridia IQ is the next step in Pole Star’s mission to make maritime intelligence faster, clearer, and easier to use.

By combining trusted data with conversational AI, it brings insight directly to the point of decision. Teams across compliance, trade, and operations can now turn complex questions into clear, defensible answers in seconds.

This shift moves maritime analysis closer to real-time decision-making, giving professionals the confidence to act faster and with greater clarity.
