Undeclared or mis-declared cargos – particularly hazmat cargos – can end in catastrophe at sea and in port. Today, Homer offers Calypso, built on a machine learning model based on 20 years of date on failed container inspections, is a system to ‘go through’ containers, identifying the most high-risk units and predicting which are most likely to fail inspection.
