DBMatic and Weforsea Launch Maritime Data Company Maricontrol
MariControl has been launched as a new maritime data technology company focused on helping shipowners make better use of vessel data.
DBMatic, part of De Boer Marine, and Weforsea Shipping formed the company after years of working together on different parts of the vessel data chain, the companies said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.
MariControl combines onboard hardware, connectivity, software and AI-driven analysis in one platform. Its applications include vessel performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, weather routing, fuel and emissions optimisation, and digital reporting.
Technology from DBMatic and Weforsea is already installed on more than 250 vessels.
On the fishing trawler UK225 Auke Senior, the companies' systems provide voyage optimisation, energy-efficiency insights, market data and weather information through a single dashboard.
The company will initially target customers in the Netherlands and the wider European market, with plans to expand internationally.
“The future of the maritime industry does not lie in standalone systems, but in one intelligent ecosystem where data, hardware and AI work seamlessly together,” Louwe Post, Managing Director of MariControl, said.
“MariControl was founded on the belief that the maritime industry needs more than a technology supplier,” Meindert-Jan de Boer, co-owner of MariControl, said.
