Getting started
Your first analysis
One end-to-end run with Contract Analysis: upload the document, check the masks, run it, use the result.
This tutorial covers Contract Analysis; the flow is largely the same in the other tools.

Upload BIMCO forms and addenda — we'll find hidden legal pitfalls.

How it works
1Upload the document
Charterparty, riders or fixture recap — PDF, DOCX or plain text.
2Personal data is masked
Names, IDs and IBANs are detected and masked before anything reaches the AI; you preview and confirm.
3Findings stream in
Risk level, legal analysis, financial impact and a suggested revision per clause; sanctions screening and related English judgments alongside.
- 1In the sidebar, open Eksen Maritime > Contract Analysis. If you don't have a document to hand, load the sample charterparty under Try an example.
- 2Paste text or upload a PDF/DOCX with +. The document card shows the file name, length and first lines.
- 3Pick the side in the toolbar: Shipowner, Charterer or Neutral. The analysis is written to protect the side you pick; with Neutral, each risk is assessed from both sides.
- 4Pick the depth: Standard (6 credits) or Deep (9 credits). Deep analysis runs more cross-checks and takes longer; it is available on the Professional and Enterprise plans.
- 5Press Anonymize. Detected personal data is masked with coloured labels. Add anything missing by double-clicking a word or selecting text and choosing its type; remove an unneeded mask with ×.
- 6Press Analyse. Findings start arriving as cards within seconds; filter them by risk level from the index on the right.
Using the result
- Copy the output or download it as PDF or Word; placeholders come back as the original values.
- If a time bar is detected, Add to calendar appears on the card: enter the trigger date, the deadline is calculated and a calendar invite (.ics) is downloaded.
- Continue with this finding under a card lets you redraft the clause in Smart Clause Writer, search the counterparty in the sanctions lists or send the output to Legal Translation. List search is available on every plan; the other actions on Professional and Enterprise.
- Rate the response with the thumbs next to the output; for a negative rating you can pick a reason.
While the analysis runs
- The analysis runs on the server. You can go to another page, close the tab or reload; it keeps going. When you come back it picks up where it was, and History shows it as Running until it finishes.
- A card in the bottom-right corner tells you when the result is ready. Cancel on that card only stops following it on screen; the analysis completes and is saved to History.
- If the analysis can't be completed, no credits are charged; you can run it again with the same document.
Runs continue independently of the page when outputs are saved to history, which is the default (Settings > Privacy > Save outputs to history).
