Report Generator

Photos in, polished reports out.

Provide a folder of inspection photos and a few vessel details — the generator handles analysis, mapping, and templating.

What it does

The Report Generator takes a folder of inspection photos plus structured vessel data and produces a finished HTML report. It runs Image Analysis over the photos, maps each photo to the right section of the chosen report template, fills in vessel details, and outputs a single self-contained file ready to send.

Report types:

• Vessel Inspection Report (VIR) — TSI-format inspection covering hull, machinery, accommodation, safety
• Owner’s Report — owner-facing condition summary
• Incident Investigation Report — root-cause analysis with timeline, evidence, and corrective actions
• Dry Dock Report — pre/post dry-dock condition with work-list verification

How it works

1. Identify report type and vessel data — confirms the template and gathers vessel details (name, IMO, dates, location).
2. Analyse photos — runs image analysis in vessel mode to classify equipment, rate condition, detect defects.
3. Map photos to sections — matches each analysed photo to the relevant report section (engine room, deck, cargo, accommodation, safety) based on equipment type.
4. Fill the template — writes the report HTML with vessel data, photos, captions, condition summaries, and flagged findings.
5. Present draft — delivers a self-contained HTML file ready to review, iterate on, or send.

Output

A single HTML file with embedded photos and styling — works offline, sends as one attachment, no external assets. You control report type, vessel data, executive summary inclusion, defect list, recommendations, and photo selection.
