Maritime data analytics

Make informed, data-driven decisions and optimise voyage efficiency with advanced shipping software, built around your needs. Our custom software services maximise the potential of your data while helping you overcome the usual challenges of data fragmentation, quality, complexity, volume and processing velocity. By gathering, processing and analysing maritime information, the applications we develop deliver valuable insights for enhanced performance monitoring, fuel consumption optimisation, route planning, and predictive analytics for vessel maintenance and operations.

Maritime communication and collaboration

Electronic navigational systems

Enhance the efficiency of your maritime navigation systems while maintaining the strictest safety standards. With our custom software services, we will integrate your electronic navigational system (ENS) components with other onboard systems such as Automatic Identification System (AIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), or Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) to provide enhanced navigational aids and route planning tools. Sea’s software engineers build bespoke digital platforms that integrate features like charting, weather data integration, voyage optimisation and automated reporting while simultaneously addressing safety challenges, such as cybersecurity risks, regulatory compliance, data accuracy and reliability.

Safety and compliance

Shipping’s ongoing commitment to improving safety, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing regulatory compliance is changing the industry for the better – but it also brings new challenges. Our custom software services help you keep compliant with these ever-evolving industry regulations and safety standards. Experienced in developing applications for safety inspections, incident reporting, risk assessments, and more, we support businesses looking to transition towards digital processes that will improve and simplify compliance management while also helping to nurture a culture of responsible shipping.

Supply chain and logistics

Gain unparalleled visibility over the complex supply chain while also streamlining your logistics processes. Our software puts you in control, enabling seamless cooperation between various stakeholders and enhancing the efficiency of your shipping logistics. Our software services are custom designed to help optimise cargo handling, freight management, warehouse operations, real-time inventory tracking, and more.

Maritime communication and collaboration

Enjoy seamless communication between all your shipping stakeholders for more streamlined day-to-day operations. Our custom software services bridge the usual gaps in maritime communication, enabling you to harness the full power of effective teamwork and collaborative decision making – with the added peace of mind that comes from working across a protected information exchange.

Mobile development

Our apps deliver a seamless user experience thanks to our proficiency in React Native and responsive web design for both iOS and Android companion apps

Security and compliance

Your security is our priority. We take great care to safeguard sensitive data in all the web applications we develop by integrating authentication and data encryption, plus adhering to industry standards, GDPR, and PCI DSS

Testing and quality assurance

We build reliable, high-performing web apps thanks to our expertise in testing frameworks. Meanwhile our skill in unit testing, integration testing, and automated testing ensures functionality and quality.

We now have 100% of our fixtures moving through the platform. This has brought standardisation to the fixture negotiation and management process which has been welcomed by the counterparties that we work with on a regular basis. We very much see the implementation of Sea as ‘best practice’ and hope that, with wider adoption, the whole industry can realise similar benefits and progress together.

Guilherme Brega, Head of Shipping for Vale

With the shipping industry accounting for 3% of the world’s carbon emissions, Sipchem is using Sea to collect, monitor, track, and support decisions that reduce our carbon output. In doing so, we are leading the way for other companies conducting voyages in Saudi Arabia and across the industry.

Turki Asiri, Head of Logistics for Sipchem

With Sea in place, our business is heading towards improved efficiency, plus the business has increased confidence around its governance of terms and minimisation of human error.

Christian Vinther Christiansen, Chief Operations Officer for NORDEN

Sea provides us with lots of data around our charterparties which we otherwise wouldn’t have had. As we own the data, it can also be applied to our in-house advanced analytics, further helping us to achieve our business goals.
