First natural language interface in maritime safety software gives shoreside fleet managers and safety officers a new way to monitor and analyze permit activity across their fleet .   NAPA Permit to Work Dashboard : Ask in plain natural language and see fleet wide real-time key insights in minutes. NAPA PERMIT TO WORK MODULE TALK TO AN EXPERT Helsinki, Finland : NAPA, the global provider of maritime software and data services, has launched an AI-powered Permit to Work (PtW) Dashboard within NAPA Fleet Intelligence , its cloud solution. The functionality, which is live now and adopted by Virgin Voyages and Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection fleets, gives shoreside fleet managers and safety officers a natural language interface – one of the first in maritime software – for permit analytics. This allows them to describe the data views they need in plain English and receive interactive, reusable, and customizable dashboards instantly across multiple vessels, time periods and dimensions.   The launch of NAPA’s AI-powered PtW coincides with the International Maritime Organization’s Day of the Seafarer. This is an active investment in addressing shipping’s growing safety gap, as new technologies and regulations are introduced. Growing regulatory and administrative pressures introduce processes that are safety-critical, audit-sensitive, and heavily dependent on accurate record-keeping across multiple vessels simultaneously. Research by the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN) found that 54% of seafarers report increased workload and 44% report higher stress levels. Manual administrative tasks, including permit management and safety reporting, can account for up to 20% of crew time. NAPA’s own benchmarking with customers indicates that digitizing record-keeping with NAPA Logbook can recover up to 2,000 administrative hours per ship per year. The new AI functionality is part of NAPA’s broader, multi-product and multi-year
