Passenger Safety SDK · Patent Pending

Reduce Preventable Pier-Runner Risk.
Give Passengers Earlier Return Guidance.

ShipSafe SDK adds offline return-to-ship and excursion timing intelligence to your existing passenger app, helping guests understand whether they still have enough time to return or reach a meeting point.

A timer tells passengers when. ShipSafe shows whether they can still make it back.

The Problem

Late-return risk creates avoidable operational burden.

Every delayed return creates operational friction, guest-service pressure, and schedule risk. ShipSafe focuses on earlier passenger guidance before return risk becomes critical.

ETA
Walking Time Blind Spot

Countdown timers tell guests when all-aboard happens. They usually do not tell guests whether their current walking route and pace still leave enough margin.

SDK
Existing App Integration

ShipSafe is designed to run inside the cruise line passenger app guests already use, so operators do not need to launch or support a separate passenger download.

PR
Reputation Risk

Late-return incidents can become visible guest-experience moments. Earlier return guidance helps operators support calmer, more predictable port-day returns.

OFF
Offline Port Conditions

Connectivity is unreliable on port days. ShipSafe uses offline walking ETAs and on-device port data so return guidance can remain available without roaming or Wi-Fi.

GO
Excursion Meeting Points

GoTime extends the same timing logic to excursion meeting points, giving passengers clearer guidance before meeting-point risk becomes urgent.

The Solution

What ShipSafe SDK delivers for Return-to-Ship Safety Patent Pending

A drop-in SDK that turns your existing passenger app into a safety system for departures and excursions — no new app required.

Accurate Offline Walking ETAs

Designed for port days with unreliable connectivity. Passengers see route-aware walking ETAs that help them judge whether they still have enough time to return.

Escalating Smart Alerts

Gentle reminders intensify as the return margin narrows, giving passengers earlier guidance before return risk becomes critical.

Self-Healing GPS

Handles GPS drift, urban canyons, and signal loss automatically. Reliable positioning in the real-world conditions ports throw at you.

Black-Box Integration

Drop-in SDK framing for iOS and Android passenger apps, with pilot scope, alert rules, and operating assumptions configured with the cruise-line team.

GoTime Excursion Tracking

Track walking ETAs to excursion meeting points, not just the pier. Passengers get escalating alerts when it's time to leave for their tour — same trusted pipeline, multiple destinations.

Nearby Port Essentials

Surface the closest ATMs, restrooms, pharmacies, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Passengers feel confident exploring — and spend more time (and money) ashore.

How It Works

Four steps to safer departures.

From integration to insights — ShipSafe SDK works behind the scenes so your team can focus on the guest experience.

01 · INTEGRATE

Integrate

Add ShipSafe SDK to your existing passenger app. One dependency, minimal code, no new infrastructure required.

02 · ACTIVATE

Activate

The SDK activates automatically when passengers go ashore. It tracks return-to-ship ETAs and walking ETAs to excursion meeting points. Zero configuration per port.

03 · PROTECT

Protect

Passengers receive timely, escalating guidance back to the pier and to their excursion meeting points. The right message at the right time for clearer return and excursion timing decisions.

04 · REPORT

Report

Post-voyage reporting can help teams review return patterns, close-call signals, and pilot learnings without overclaiming fleet-wide impact before pilot data exists.

Navigator Plus

GoTime: excursion-aware navigation.

Passengers miss booked excursions because they underestimate walking time. GoTime tells them exactly when to leave — using the same offline routing pipeline that gets them back to the ship.

Multi-Destination Tracking

Track walking ETAs to multiple excursion meeting points simultaneously, alongside the pier. One SDK, every destination.

Smart State Alerts

Progresses from "on track" to "leave soon" to "it's go time" — escalating only when the passenger genuinely needs to start walking.

Intelligent Alert Priority

Pier safety always wins. If a passenger needs to get back to the ship, pier alerts suppress excursion notifications automatically.

Revenue Protection

Every missed excursion is a refund request, a partner complaint, and a lost upsell opportunity. GoTime protects your ancillary revenue.

Field Test · Budapest

First time in the city. Airplane mode. It worked.

Budapest, Hungary — live field test, April 2026. A first-time-in-city walk to St. Stephen's Basilica and back to the pier, with no connectivity used at any point.

Meeting-point proximity
5m
Single field-test result: tester stopped within five meters of the meeting point.
ETA comparison

Single walk: computed 11.52 min vs. actual 12 min 13 sec.

Airplane mode start to finish — no Wi-Fi, no cellular, no roaming.
GPS continuity
100%
No dropouts. The blue dot held the entire walk.
Two layers were exercised in one walk. The back-to-ship escalation alert fired at the configured buffer threshold, and the GoTime excursion-aware layer guided the tester to the meeting point in a city neither the tester nor the device had previously used. A timer tells passengers when. ShipSafe shows whether they can still make it back.
