Our Story
Transforming the industry
A crew change is a complex, stressful and involved process, and requires collaboration between dozens of people to successfully execute it. It is also a process that deeply touches the experience of a seafarer, the global community of 2 million, that keeps the shipping industry consistently moving.
Recognizing the productivity and optimization challenges inherent in today’s operations, we saw an opportunity to transform the industry with technology.
Our mission is simple: We want to be the digital backbone to the human force that drives the shipping industry. We are launching our journey by building a trailblazing end-to-end crew change management platform, that empowers crewing teams, drives smart decisions, optimizes costs, and improves the lives of the seafarers.
