Seaber

Seaber is a Finnish maritime technology company that has developed an innovative cloud-based software solution for optimizing schedule planning, communications, and operations in the bulk and break bulk shipping industry. The company's AI-assisted planning tool is designed to help shipowners, charterers, and cargo owners maximize fleet utilization, improve profitability, and reduce emissions.

Seaber's technology supports multi-parcel and multi-port voyages, in addition to single cargo voyages, addressing the challenges of unnecessary ballast voyages and low utilization rates. By optimizing schedules, vessel rotations, and port calls, Seaber's solution enhances asset utilization, lowers costs per ton-mile, and minimizes the environmental impact of shipping operations.

The company's modern tech stack seamlessly integrates with existing software solutions like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Voyage Management Systems, enabling a seamless transition to digital operations. Seaber's solution automates data integration and improves data ergonomics, reducing planning errors and enabling stakeholders to collaborate in real-time.

In February 2024, Seaber announced a partnership with Neste, a producer of renewable and sustainable fuels, to optimize Neste's marine logistics tasks, such as shipping schedules and port calls, using Seaber's software. This collaboration aims to increase vessel utilization, reduce emissions, and lower costs per ton-mile for Neste's operations.

In October 2023, Seaber partnered with Alba Tankers, a Danish company operating chemical and oil tankers in North Europe and the West Mediterranean. Through this collaboration, Alba Tankers will optimize its chartering and scheduling processes, leading to increased efficiency and reduced emissions.

In April 2023, Ultratank, a chemical bulk operator, signed a long-term contract with Seaber to optimize its operations and support its goal of reducing CO2 intensity by at least 40% by 2030. Initial results showed that Seaber's solution allowed Ultratank to save up to 3% in operating costs, with estimates of up to 5% savings in the future.

In March 2023, Seaber announced a collaboration with Wilson EuroCarriers, the largest short sea shipping company in Europe. Wilson adopted Seaber's technology to digitalize its fleet scheduling, aiming to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize emissions.
