About PortCall.ai
Where Australian engineering meets Singapore's maritime future.
Founded in Melbourne, launched in direct response to the April 2026 OCEANS-X and MPA–SSA AI Adoption MOU. Built to make every port call predictive, paperless and perfectly coordinated.
01 · The story
Our story.
PortCall.ai is an Australian-founded maritime AI company headquartered in Melbourne, delivering intelligent port-call coordination and digital shipping-agency services.
We exist at the intersection of Singapore's groundbreaking OCEANS-X data platform and the global push for AI-driven maritime efficiency. Launched in direct response to the April 2026 release of OCEANS-X and the MPA–SSA AI Adoption MOU, our platform is purpose-built to help shipping lines, agents, charterers, and bunker operators automate, predict, and optimise every port call — starting with Singapore and extending across Australian ports.
Our ethos is simple: Data sovereignty + responsible AI = faster turnarounds, zero paper, lower emissions, and stronger supply chains.

What we're here to do.
Mission
To accelerate the maritime industry's transition to fully digital, AI-augmented operations by building products that natively integrate with Singapore's OCEANS-X platform and the MPA–SSA AI Adoption Programme.
Vision
A world where every port call is predictive, paperless, and perfectly coordinated — powered by trusted maritime data marketplaces and AI that works for people, not instead of them.
Our values
AI for Good
Aligned with AI Singapore's AIRI. Explainable, auditable, reversible — every time.
