Tymor Marine's breakthrough DRFT MRKS technology measures a vessel's draft from a 30-second, 1080p HD video. It is an industry-leading AI/Deep Learning technology developed to improve the traditional draft reading process. DRFT MRKS aims to allow anyone to read draft marks with the same skill and accuracy as an experienced mariner. Discrepancies can lead to incorrect displacement measurements, spark disputes over cargo quantities, and impose operational limitations on vessels. DRFT MRKS provides a single verifiable source of truth when calculating vessel displacement using draft marks, helping to improve accuracy when determining loaded cargo/equipment.
