For commercial fishing + maritime operations
Cold-storage buyers locking in price, fish-processor dispatchers (Trident, Silver Bay, Ocean Beauty) scheduling delivery windows, your insurance broker, USCG inspectors, your accountant during halibut season — every call answered while you're under the rigging or fixing a hydraulic. CRITICAL: maritime distress (capsize, MOB, fire at sea) is routed to USCG VHF Channel 16 + sector phone, never 911.
What your callers hear
“F/V Nordlys — what's the call? If this is Trident or Silver Bay, give me the price and I'll page Erik. If this is an emergency at sea, hang up and call USCG on Channel 16 right now.”
If a frantic deckhand or family member calls reporting capsize, man-overboard, taking-on-water, engine fire, or hull breach, the AI knows to route them to USCG VHF Ch 16 + the nearest Sector phone (Juneau 907-463-2980, Anchorage, Honolulu, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami, NY). 911 wastes minutes the caller does not have. Built into safety.ts rule 11d.
When a Trident or Silver Bay buyer calls offering $2.10/lb on your king salmon, the AI is configured (price_quote_mode='take_only') to capture the buyer's offer + lot weight + delivery window + wire-transfer terms, then SMS-page you to confirm. It NEVER quotes a price on your behalf. Protects you from a low-balled commitment made while you were elbow-deep in a fish hold.
If you've been at sea on sketchy Starlink / HF radio for 2 weeks, the 7am daily-email digest is useless. Owner-configured 'On-reconnect mode' batches every call into a single arrival-at-dock summary + SMS-with-callback for each individual call. You walk into the cannery with a printed log of every buyer, broker, USCG inspector, and accountant call from your trip. Today: this is a USER_TODO scope item; talk to us if it's a buy/no-buy line for you.
Your wife in Sitka logs into the dashboard, pays the bill, reviews calls, replies to processor dispatchers via SMS — while you're at sea with no cell. Delegate-account access is a first-class workflow. No 'owner-only login' lockouts.
USCG inspector calls (Q4 hull-survey reminders, MARPOL waste-discharge log audits, drug-test program compliance) route to a dedicated booking flow that captures inspector name + agency + window + your fishing-grounds location so you can plan around it.
If you fish in SE Alaska + work with Tlingit / Haida / Tsimshian permit-holders or subsistence buyers, the AI is culturally aware — but our voice synthesis provider does NOT yet support Tlingit / Haida / Tsimshian voices (English fallback only). We are tracking the carrier ETA; tell us if Tlingit voice support is your dealbreaker.
Vessel name + USCG documentation number, fishing grounds, species + estimated lbs, ice quantity + condition, delivery window at the cold-storage dock, fuel-surcharge pass-through, wire-transfer same-day confirmation, processor dispatcher name, scale-ticket reference.
AI is configured to NEVER quote a price on the owner's behalf — only capture the buyer's offer and SMS-page the owner to confirm. Optional 'auto-accept above $X.YZ/lb' threshold for the owner who wants the AI to lock in a deal at a minimum acceptable price.
All 9 USCG sectors (Juneau, Anchorage, Honolulu, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami, NY) are pre-loaded in the safety prompt. Owners on the East Coast / Great Lakes / Gulf / Pacific — the AI knows your sector before the caller mentions where you are.
Add your spouse, child, or bookkeeper as a delegate from Settings → Account → Delegates. They can review calls, reply via SMS, pay the bill, and configure the AI while you're at sea. Audit log captures who did what.
“You're booked, Maria — Carlos will be there tomorrow at 9 with parts for a copper pinhole leak.”
$129/mo if you go month-to-month. Three plans (Starter / Professional / Enterprise), voice cloning included with any active plan, BYO phone number. Most commercial fishing + maritime operations start on Professional for multi-staff routing.
See pricing →USCG. The AI is system-prompted (safety.ts rule 11d) to route maritime distress to VHF Channel 16 + the appropriate USCG sector phone, never 911. We hard-coded this because 911 wastes minutes the caller does not have at sea. If you fish a region we missed in the sector directory, email hello@ringdispatch.com.
No. Price_quote_mode is set to 'take_only' for commercial-fishing accounts — the AI captures the buyer's offer + lot details and SMS-pages you to confirm. You can configure an 'auto-accept above $X.YZ/lb' threshold if you want the AI to lock in any offer above your minimum.
On-reconnect digest mode is on the roadmap (not shipped today — flagged in USER_TODO). For now, you can configure per-call SMS-with-callback for any high-priority caller (your insurance broker, your processor dispatcher) so you only see SMS for the calls that matter when bandwidth is intermittent. Full at-sea owner workflow is in development; tell us this is your dealbreaker.
Yes — delegate access lets your spouse / child / bookkeeper review calls, reply to dispatchers via SMS, and pay the bill. Settings → Account → Delegates. Audit log captures every action. This is a first-class workflow, not an admin hack.
Not yet — our voice synthesis provider does not support any Indigenous North American languages today. Callers in those languages get English fallback. We are tracking the carrier ETA + advocating for Indigenous language support; tell us if this is your biggest community.
