LRI

Labour Risk Indicators Model

Exposing potential labour risk at sea

Far offshore, where oversight is scarce, vulnerable crews face long hours, dangerous working conditions, and isolation. Traditional inspection systems miss much of what happens at sea — and without visibility, accountability falters.

OceanMind’s Labour Risk Indicators (LRI) model changes that. By analysing vessel behaviour with our crew-informed labour models, we bring hidden patterns suggesting abuse to the surface, helping authorities and support organisations focus efforts where they’re needed most.

Benefits

Clearer insight into labour conditions

Designed to reflect real-world working patterns, the LRI model — now available as an invitation-only beta — provides timely, reliable data to support targeted inspections and better protection for boat crews.

Trip-based analysis of working hours at sea

By analyzing AIS tracks across full trips, the model maps fishing activity and calculates crew rest against ILO C188 or local labour standards.

Comparative risk scores across vessels and fleets

Vessels are ranked by average rest hours, enabling better prioritization for enforcement, due diligence, and support.

Actionable intelligence across timeframes

Our model supports both real-time alerts and historical screening to guide inspections, reporting, prosecution, or due diligence efforts.

Features

Combines AIS vessel tracking with crew-informed labour modelling
Estimates working and rest hours based on gear deployment and vessel activity
Flags risk when rest levels fall below international thresholds
Enables trip- or fleet-level comparisons of labour conditions
Links labour indicators with broader IUU fishing patterns
