The problem you face today

You're counsel on a vessel sale. The seller's diligence pack is a 300-page PDF organised by their convenience. The buyer's questions arrive piecemeal. The MOA riders have been negotiated across four iterations and you're not sure which version is the executed one.

Meanwhile, you're billing hours for work that should be infrastructure. Cross-referencing prices between MOA and Bill of Sale. Confirming the buyer's board resolution is properly executed. Walking title chains. These are necessary tasks; they're also tasks that shouldn't take human cognition.

Your value as counsel is in legal substance: interpreting clauses, advising on risk, structuring complex transactions. Marintel handles the document machinery so you can focus on what only lawyers can do.

What Marintel gives you

A data-room workflow that respects legal practice.

Documents arrive classified, extracted, and validated against deal context
Cross-document inconsistencies flagged before they reach your desk
Audit-grade event trail captured automatically, ready for any future dispute
Cryptographically signed artifacts at closing — verifiable independently by any future party
The 230-document maritime taxonomy is already understood; you're not training the system

You spend less time on document logistics. More time on the analysis that makes your services valuable.

Features

Built for lawyers.

Annotation and clause tracking

Mark up clauses, attach commentary, share notes with co-counsel. Annotations are versioned alongside the document and time-stamped to the audit log.

Cross-document validation rules

The validator service runs deterministic checks on every uploaded document. For a Bill of Sale: does the price match the MOA? Does the buyer entity match deal context? You review the validation results; the lawyer judges.

Subjects period tracking

Subjects defined at MOA signing become tracked items in the platform. Inspection lifted: notification to all parties. Board approval received: notification, plus the board resolution attached to the audit log.

Title chain verification

When you receive a Bill of Sale, Marintel walks the ownership ledger and confirms: seller is the registered owner at the moment of sale; no active liens except those being discharged at closing; mortgage release sequence is correct.

Document expiry and dependency tracking

Vessel-state documents expire (class, MLC, IOPP, etc.). Marintel surfaces upcoming expiries with enough lead time to renew without scramble.

Signed proof at closing

Four signed artifacts — Closing Certificate (M001), Ownership Snapshot (M002), Audit Log Export (M003), Validation Reports (M004) — are produced automatically at closing. Cryptographically signed. Independently verifiable.

Tamper-evident audit log

Every state change, every AI inference, every user action with hash chaining. If a future dispute requires reconstructing what happened on the platform, the log provides forensic-grade evidence.

Counterparty corporate-doc pack

Reusable counterparty entity records — articles of association, board resolutions, good standing, POA. Once verified for one deal, reusable for the next.
