Bearing AI
Bearing AI is a Palo Alto-based maritime technology company that builds AI models to predict and optimize how ships perform at sea. By combining real-world vessel sensor data, satellite positioning and weather with deep learning, its platform forecasts fuel consumption, emissions, fleet deployment and market conditions - helping shipping companies cut carbon output, comply with tightening emissions rules like CII, and make better operational decisions. Founded in 2019 by Dylan Keil and David Liu and backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund and Mitsui & Co., Bearing counts leading carriers such as 'K' Line, Hapag-Lloyd and IINO Lines among its users.
Dylan Keil
Dylan Keil is the co-founder and CEO of Bearing AI, a Palo Alto startup that uses artificial intelligence to cut carbon emissions and improve operations across the global maritime shipping fleet. A Stanford-trained mechanical engineer who grew up on college campuses, he built and sold the mobile sensor startup Chronos to Life360 before launching Bearing in 2019. Backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund and Japanese shipping giant Mitsui & Co., Bearing predicts vessel fuel consumption, speed and carbon ratings without onboard sensors, helping shipowners navigate regulations like CII, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime while saving fuel and money.
