The Finnish tech company has been entrusted by the also from Finland fuel producer to eco-optimise its logistics.

Neste uses Seaber's software to plan maritime logistics activities such as shipping schedules and port calls. "Seaber's intelligent technology provides data-led decision support that optimises fleet TCE (Time Charter Equivalent) and reduces costs per ton mile, bringing down shipping's environmental impact. In addition to single cargo voyages, it supports multi-parcel and multi-port voyages, where unnecessary ballast voyages and low utilisation rates are common," the tech company explained in a press release.

Paavo Kojonen, Shipping Asset and Sustainability Manager at Neste, added, "Neste's goal is to become a global leader in renewable and circular solutions. In order to achieve this, we need to find new ways to reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. New solutions and partnerships like Seaber are needed to help us optimise maritime logistics, which is one step towards reducing emissions."

"We are thrilled to see that Neste has taken this important step to optimise their shipping scheduling through further digitalisation. This collaboration enables Neste to optimise their processes, increase vessel utilisation and reduce emissions and cost per ton mile. Our partnership allows Seaber to further develop our solution for the benefit of the industry," Sebastian Sjöberg, CEO and Co-founder of Seaber, also highlighted.
