Your name is on the ships, the loans and the filings. Managers run the ships, crews sail them, and agents and advisers handle the paperwork. You can delegate all of that. You cannot delegate being accountable for it to the regulators, your lenders, your insurers, your charterers and your family. Each year brings more regulation and more demands for proof, and too often you learn that a certificate has lapsed or a condition has been breached only when a regulator, a bank or a charterer raises the matter.

Running the ships is business operations. Accounting for them is fiduciary operations, and it stays the owner's responsibility even when someone else does the work. Nikosophia is the system for fiduciary operations.

Working with our analysts, you set down what your company is: the duties it carries under each regulation and agreement, how each duty is to be met, and who is responsible for it. From that, Nikosophia produces the policies and procedures your managers and crews work to, and connects to the systems they use to run the ships. Nikosophia then follows the business day to day and keeps the evidence that each duty has been met. You can see where your company stands at any time. The evidence for every duty is gathered as the work is done, and your filings, certificates and reports go out when they fall due.
