AI vessel management software for global ship operators
Leafkutter Vessel Management Software is the cloud, AI-powered ship management platform that runs every operational discipline aboard and ashore — real-time AIS vessel tracking, voyage planning, crew management, planned maintenance system (PMS), drydock and inspection workflows, bunker and fuel management, IMO/MARPOL/SOLAS/ISM compliance, port call coordination, charter management, and AI-driven maritime performance analytics.
Built for shipowners, ship managers, tanker operators, bulk carrier fleets, container lines, offshore supply vessels, coastal shipping, and mixed maritime fleets, Leafkutter replaces fragmented legacy maritime software, paper checklists, and spreadsheet voyage logs with one connected cloud vessel management platform — affordable enough for a 5-vessel coastal operator, powerful enough for a 200-ship global fleet.

What is Leafkutter Vessel Management Software?
Modern ship management isn't a single function — it's tracking, voyaging, crewing, maintaining, refuelling, and complying with international regulations all at once. Leafkutter ties every discipline into one cloud platform.
Vessel management software is the digital platform that runs every operational discipline aboard and ashore — AIS vessel tracking, voyage planning, crew rostering, planned maintenance system, drydock workflows, bunker/fuel management, IMO/MARPOL/SOLAS/ISM compliance, port call coordination, and performance analytics. Modern ship management software like Leafkutter is cloud-based, AI-powered, and built for the way real fleets operate today.
Leafkutter Vessel Management Software bundles real-time AIS vessel tracking with global map and voyage replay, voyage management software covering charter party tracking and laytime, crew management software with certificates and rostering, a full planned maintenance system (PMS), drydock management, bunker management software, port call management, and a built-in maritime safety and compliance layer aligned to ISM Code, MARPOL, and SOLAS.
Whether you're a shipowner with 3 coastal feeders, a tanker operator running 20 product carriers, a bulk carrier fleet of 50 vessels, a container line with 100+ ships, or an offshore vessel operator servicing rigs, Leafkutter scales with you — replacing legacy on-premise maritime ERP, paper logs, and email-based fleet coordination with a connected, AI-driven, end-to-end vessel management platform.

Six reasons fleets pick Leafkutter as their vessel management platform
The trade-offs that matter when you're choosing the platform that will run every voyage, every drydock, and every PSC inspection for the next decade.
Bridge to boardroom in one platform
AIS, voyage, crew, PMS, drydock, bunker, compliance — all in one stack. Stop running five maritime tools that don't share data.
Audit-ready from day one
ISM, MARPOL, SOLAS, PSC, oil major audits — built-in workflows, immutable trail, and continuous compliance instead of pre-audit panic.
AI agents built in
Predictive ETAs, fuel anomalies, maintenance prediction, document classification, port call optimization — AI is core, not premium add-ons.
One-time pricing, not SaaS
Affordable one-time purchase instead of per-vessel monthly subscriptions — own your vessel management software permanently.
Scales 3 to 200 vessels
Same platform from a coastal operator with 3 ships to a global manager running 200 — no per-tier upgrade tax, no rebuilds, no migration projects.
Real maritime engineers
WhatsApp, call, and email support from real maritime engineers — no chatbots, no offshore tickets, no 48-hour SLA queues during a PSC inspection.

Five maritime workflows that move data automatically
Real ship management isn't a list of modules — it's a set of workflows that cross every discipline. Leafkutter's maritime fleet management software threads its 34 modules into five end-to-end flows that fleet managers, technical superintendents, masters and chief engineers run every single day.
Certificate expiry flow
Statutory or class certificate enters the 90-day window → DPA gets alerted → renewal task assigned with surveyor booking → uploaded certificate replaces the old one → audit-trail closure. No more missed surveys, no more port detentions.
Crew rotation flow
Sign-off planning → contract closure → travel & visa arrangement → relief crew sourced from the available pool → handover notes captured digitally → crew matrix auto-updated across the fleet. Crew management software the way real maritime crewing works.
Purchase & procurement flow
Ship raises a requisition → office reviews → quotes from approved suppliers → PO issued → goods received and stock auto-incremented → invoice matched → supplier rated on price, quality, delivery and responsiveness. The complete marine procurement cycle in one workflow.
Noon report flow
Captain submits one daily noon report → voyage progress, bunker ROB, engine running hours, PMS due-dates, performance, CO2 / CII, voyage cost and the fleet dashboard all update automatically. The most powerful workflow in maritime fleet management software.
Audit finding flow
Audit conducted (internal, PSC, class, flag, ISM, ISPS, MLC, vetting) → findings logged with severity and deadline → actions routed to chief engineer, master, crewing manager, safety officer or purchase officer → evidence uploaded → DPA closes the finding → trend analysis prevents repeat findings.
Everything is connected
An audit finding can create a work order, which consumes spare parts, which triggers a purchase order, which feeds supplier ratings — all without re-keying data. Your cloud vessel management software behaves like one living system, not five disconnected modules.
One noon report. Eight systems updated.
Every day at 12:00 ship time, the captain submits one daily noon report from any device — even on low-bandwidth satcom links. The moment it is submitted, Leafkutter's AI-powered vessel management software updates eight downstream systems automatically. No spreadsheets, no double-entry, no end-of-month reconciliation.
One submit from the captain
- Position (lat / lon), course and average speed
- Distance covered since last noon
- Weather — wind force, sea state, swell
- Engine performance — RPM, load, slip
- Fuel consumed by grade (HFO / VLSFO / MGO)
- Lube oil consumed
- Fresh water made & remaining
- Fuel ROB by grade
- Cargo status & next port ETA
- Remarks — alarms, abnormalities, weather routing
Eight modules updated instantly
A maritime platform for bridge, engine room and boardroom
