Overview

North Vessel is the command surface for a private maritime operator running twelve hulls across three oceans. We designed and shipped the operator console, the client-facing tracker, and the motion language that ties them together.

01 · Brief

Twelve vessels, one glance.

The operations team needed to read weather, fuel, and crew state without hunting through tabs. We compressed the entire fleet into a single canvas — every hull a live glyph, every glyph a full record on demand.

02 · Motion

Data that breathes at the right tempo.

Refresh cycles animate at 240ms, alerts at 80ms, transitions at 520ms. The console never surprises the operator; urgency is expressed through cadence, not color.

It replaced three tools and a spreadsheet. Our watch team stopped arguing about which screen was right.
