Ocean Intelligence

Greener shipping through science >>

our vision

The shipping industry faces a perfect storm of commercial, security, and regulatory pressures to reduce its reliance on carbon-based fuels. Commercial shipping produces approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions per year. That puts shipping on par with the aviation industry as a contributor to anthropogenic climate change.

Ocean Intelligence uses state-of-the-art ocean forecasting, satellite data, and artificial intelligence to optimise vessel transit time, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions in real time. Leveraging our ground-breaking research and deep knowledge of the shipping industry, we are partnering with ship owners, operators and retailers to decarbonise their supply chain.

We need to rethink shipping

Dynamic route optimisation

OUR solutions

dynamic route optimisation

By measuring and predicting ocean currents in unprecedented detail, our dynamic ship routing algorithm optimises travel time, fuel consumption, and emissions in real time.

AI-driven Digital Twins

Using low-cost, satellite-connected sensors, Ocean Intelligence gathers thousands of points of data to build a seakeeping performance model for individual vessels.

Trusted Emissions reporting

Ocean Intelligence’s emissions reporting suite gives owners, operators, and retailers the power to track shipping emissions, identify savings and report Scope 3 emissions.
