Shipping Technology, a Rotterdam-based upcoming player in the international maritime industry specialised in developing supportive tools for the shipping industry, has secured a significant investment from First Dutch in combination with the founders of Platform Zero. The hardware and software of Shipping Technology assists shipowners and crew to improve the safety, sustainability and efficiency of their operations and management decisions, reports Shipping Technology.
Next growth phase
With this capital infusion, Shipping Technology is ready to initiate its next growth phase. The company, founded in 2018, will both scale up internationally, especially in the Inland Shipping industry, and further develop and improve its already successful products and services, adding features that are being developed based on feedback from early adopter clients. In addition, the company’s team will be substantially expanded in the coming years in order to serve its growing number of customers.
Shipping Technology gathers, analyses and connects nautical and vessel data to future-proof shipping companies in the fields of digitisation, operational efficiency, sustainable sailing and safety. Already several insurance companies give shipowners up to 50% discount when Shipping Technology’s main product, the ST BRAIN, is installed on board.
First Dutch is a strategic investor in, amongst others, the maritime industry. It was founded by Peter Goedvolk and aims to help sustainable businesses grow, scale, and pioneer, thereby realising their full potential. First Dutch has a strategic collaboration with Platform Zero, who is also an investment partner in this project. They will share their extensive experience with and knowledge of scaling companies with the team at Shipping Technology.
