This week’s ship.energy podcast guest is Dylan Keil Co-Founder and CEO of Bearing, a company which uses its proprietary technology to leverage large amounts of real-world data to generate highly accurate ship performance models.

Keil started out as a business analyst for McKinsey (2008-10) and, via number of start-ups, came to Bearing, which was established in mid-2019. Based in Palo Alto, California – the heart of Silicon Valley – Bearing describes itself as a team of engineers and product people, with deep expertise in building scalable AI-enable products, and a passion to help the shipping industry become greener and more efficient.’

Bearing is backed by Mitsui & Co. and the AI Fund, a venture capital firm led by AI pioneer Andrew Ng. 

In conversation with ship.energy contributing editor Mark Williams, Keil runs through the evolution of Bearing. He explains how AI can help shipowners in improving their vessels’ carbon intensity index (CII) ratings and also looks at the impact that predictive analytics will have on technical and commercial ship management.
