Our aim as ZeroNorth’s digital partner was to create solutions that would help ZeroNorth achieve their ambitious goals in the area of vessels optimization, such as reducing CO2 emissions and increasing TCE earnings, while decreasing the amount of work for vessel operators.

ABOUT ZERONORTH

Born from one of the world’s leading shipping companies, ZeroNorth was founded with a single, clear mission: transform the shipping industry through digitalisation. ZeroNorth wants to help their customers optimise business efforts through vessel performance and reduce CO2 emissions. This is what empowers ZeroNorth.

CHALLENGE

Previously vessel operators were using multiple sources of data while trying to identify optimal speed and ETA for each ship. The fact that it was done manually, with the large amount of data needed to be processed, created an opportunity to increase efficiency of the process. We knew that it was possible to create a digital solution that would save time, money and further reduce CO2 emissions.

PROJECT GOALS

Lower the amount of CO2 emissions by providing the most efficient speed for each vessel

Create a tool that cuts down the amount of work for vessel operators and automatizes the processes

Provide voyage optimisation to maximise time charter equivalent and earnings

Build a solution that turns complex data into actionable insights

SOLUTION

The outcome of our partnership was a digital platform with an interactive map that shows vessels’ positions, their voyage and other important data necessary to optimise for speed and CO2 emissions.

We built a tool that helps vessel operators make strategic decisions on the optimal speed to sail on any route in any conditions.

Operators are provided with an online interface and dashboard which with one click help them optimise their current and future routes. The calculation process takes hundreds of combinations of parameters into account, such as market rates, draught, cp speed, origin and destination port, and via points among others.

I’m very impressed with their focus on the growth of their employees. Other companies are more like software factories, while at Setapp you get the impression
that they genuinely care about their employees, that their employees are successful and that they are the right fit for the given project.
We are very happy with our partnership with Setapp which continues to deliver value to our company.
