HOMER LLC
About Homer
Advanced risk intelligence infrastructure for critical supply chain operations.
Our mission
Preventing maritime disasters through intelligent risk assessment
Every year, hundreds of cargo fires occur in ports and at sea, threatening lives, causing environmental damage, and disrupting critical supply chains. Many of these disasters stem from mislabeled or improperly stored hazardous materials.
Homer’s mission is to prevent these incidents before they happen. Our flagship product, Calypso, applies machine learning to identify high-risk cargo before loading, enabling inspection teams to intervene early and prevent catastrophic outcomes.
Developed in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard, our technology is designed to support stakeholders in the global supply chain worldwide, protecting personnel, infrastructure, and the environment from preventable disasters.
Machine learning enables risk assessment before incidents occur, shifting from reactive response to preventive intervention.
