For decades, we've interpreted maritime rules. Now it's time for machines to understand.

Maritime regulations,
now machine‑readable.

A connected fabric of every maritime rule. A sandbox to test autonomous compliance. Quiet infrastructure for the next era of shipping.

01 / Regulations as Code

Regulations as Code

Maritime rules are written in human language — long & complex. They span international conventions like SOLAS, MARPOL, and COLREGs, alongside flag state circulars, class unified interpretations, and port state amendments. Thala translates them into clean, machine-readable logic. Every clause becomes a connection; every condition becomes computable. The rules are no longer documents. They are a living codebase that software can trust.

02 / Who uses Thala?

Maritime administrations and classification societies

Digitize approval workflows, ensure consistent rule application across surveyors and auditors.

Ship design firms

Submit a drawing, and Thala checks it against every applicable regulation — from fire safety to light spacing.

Insurance companies and P&I clubs

Model compliance risk across a fleet, detect exposure before it becomes a claim.

Autonomous system manufacturers

Test safety logic against COLREGs, SOLAS, and other rules in a repeatable, auditable sandbox.

03 / Regulatory Sandbox for Autonomous Ships

Autonomous Vessel Regulatory Sandbox

Robotaxis once felt like a distant dream. Today they roam our streets. Autonomous vessels will follow the same arc — and sooner than most think. But before they can sail without crews, they must prove compliance with every maritime rule on the books.

Our digital sandbox gives autonomous ship developers, equipment manufacturers, and flag states a shared platform to verify that compliance. Feed us a scenario — a vessel description, a system configuration, or a drawing. Thala extracts the relevant data, checks them against the connected regulations, and returns a structured compliance verdict. No ambiguity. No manual lookup.

Statutory Text

"Cargo ships of less than 500 gross tonnage shall be provided with at least one independent power bilge pump... The bilge main shall have a diameter calculated by d = 25 + 1.68√L(B+D) mm... Direct suction shall be provided from each machinery space."

04 / The Human Behind the Logic

Jejo

Naval Architect · Class Surveyor · Flag State Surveyor · MMSA Auditor · Ship Management & New Construction Surveyor

Over twenty years in maritime. I read and understand concepts naturally. A traveller. Drawn to minimalism. I found a quiet gravitation towards technology and software — the if-then logic, the algorithms. I'm amazed by the simplicity and sophistication of technological systems, and I'm confident in what they'll make possible.
