PROJECT HARRISON

We partner with mariners, shipping professionals, and data scientists to develop tools that address real-world problems in maritime operations, technical, and commercial management. Our long-term vision is rooted in responsible innovation, open collaboration, and a deep commitment to maritime and data science communities.

MIRA App

MIRA — Maritime Informatics Reasoning Agent

MIRA is an interactive maritime AI application that lets users query voyages and receive real-time routing, geotemporal, and ETA calculations. It integrates geospatial reasoning, stop detection, canal and turnaround delays, and produces structured voyage JSON outputs for further analysis.

  • Natural-language voyage queries (e.g. “Los Angeles to Yokohama”)
  • Interactive map visualization
  • Deterministic and reasoning-driven routing modes
  • Google OAuth login (production mode)
  • Firestore-backed session and voyage persistence
GitHub Searoute MCP

The First Open-source Model Context Protocol Server in the Commercial Maritime Industry

searoute_mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for maritime routing. It integrates searoute-py with MCP, exposing tools that allow LLM clients to:

  • Compute oceangoing route distances in nautical miles
  • Retrieve full oceangoing routes with waypoints (GeoJSON)
  • Compare against great-circle (geodesic) distances
