NAVTOR has announced a strategic partnership with Sweden’s Chris-Marine to enhance data collection and minimize reporting workloads for shipping crews and companies. This collaboration will see Chris-Marine’s Trust-Ocean data collection system integrated into NAVTOR’s NavBox and NavReporting platforms, providing users worldwide with improved efficiency and data accuracy.
Jacob Clausen, Director of Performance at NAVTOR, stated that this partnership aims to “optimize smart shipping solutions” and unlock significant benefits for both vessel crews and onshore teams. The integration is a step toward fulfilling NAVTOR’s commitment to collaborate with industry leaders, enhancing value within the company’s digital ecosystem.
Clausen emphasized that Chris-Marine’s hardware and expertise simplify and enhance data capture. This integration will facilitate greater automation in data reporting, leading to reduced workloads for crew members, fewer manual errors, and improved insights for onshore teams.
The high-frequency operational data will consistently reach shore-based verifiers and stakeholders, streamlining operations while enriching decision-making processes with seamless and high-quality data flows. This partnership further strengthens NAVTOR’s existing ecosystem, which supports smart shipping products and services for over 18,000 vessels globally.
The new integrated system allows accurate and secure data sharing across various tools, including Digital Logbooks, e-Navigation systems, and Performance Monitoring solutions. NavReporting, noted for its automation capabilities, enhances noon reporting significantly.
Leif Abildgaard, Chief Commercial Officer of Chris-Marine, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting their six decades of experience in precision tools for marine engines and monitoring technology. Abildgaard noted a shared vision between the two companies to improve efficiency and performance in shipping through smarter data utilization.
The partnership was officially announced at Nor-Shipping 2025 in Lillestrøm, Norway.
