Marine digital services company Ascenz is launching a partnership with supply chain automation company Rise-x.io to offer digitalisation services to the shipping and bunker industries.

"This partnership combines the Bunker Monitoring capabilities and services of Ascenz with rise-x.io’s QuayChain platform to automate the marine fuel supply chain to help customers in the sector to optimise their fuel spend and increase vessel profitability," the companies said in a statement Wednesday.

The QuayChain software is a blockchain-based platform aimed at optimising the bunker purchasing process, according to Rise-x.io.
