Victoria Meyer sits down with Josh Luby, Director of Product Management at Veson Nautical, to discuss how artificial intelligence, through tools like Veson’s Co Captain, is helping companies move from reactive problem-solving to proactive decision-making. Josh sheds light on the complexity of chemical shipping, the challenges of harmonizing communications, and how Veson’s AI leverages decades of domain knowledge to tackle real-world business needs. \n\nTheir conversation explores the impact of geopolitical shocks, the critical importance of data governance and trust in connected systems, and the measurable ROI chemical companies are already seeing from smarter, more predictive supply chain tools. Whether it's optimizing demurrage claims or enabling faster response to global disruptions, AI is unlocking new levels of reliability and strategic advantage across the industry.  \n\nKey topics addressed this week: \nThe expanding role of AI in chemical and maritime shipping Challenges and lessons learned from rolling out enterprise-scale AI Reducing complexity in demurrage claims and supply chain communication Applying technology during supply chain shocks Strategies for governing data and building user trust with connected platforms The shift from reactive to proactive decision-making across the shipping lifecycle  \n\nKiller Quote: “You can throw AI terms on top of anything, but it really matters how the data is that’s feeding into that AI and what knowledge that AI is given. Without historical knowledge and logic, you’re not going to be able to get the right answer.” — Josh Luby \n \n\nOther links: \n Per Ostman - Episode 228","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rIWBq6x3GKwCrdS9ibBekoi3MKKGzbqaa2KvU21DRho/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMjMz/ZTBmOTVlZWIyODA1/NDYwMDFhMTAzMzU5/OGEzNy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
