This webpage outlines the key features of SMARTShip™, provided by ZeroNorth, and the points that can be expected at implementation. Built on IoT- and AI-driven data analytics, it brings together functions related to operational efficiency, including fuel use, compliance with environmental regulations, and understanding of equipment condition.
AI integrates high-frequency data from onboard sensors with weather information, then analyzes operating conditions using naval-architecture models. Taking factors such as fuel costs and charter-party terms into account, it presents recommendations on routes and speed and provides inputs for considering complex operational decisions, including compliance with regulations.
It is suited to operators that need to consider regulatory compliance—such as fuel-efficiency management and CII ratings—in parallel. By detecting changes in equipment condition from data, it can be used to identify early signs and consider maintenance planning, supporting technical management teams in decisions to maintain marine condition.
As explored above, the core strengths and focus of each system vary significantly. Finding the right solution starts with assessing your fleet's specific management goals and operational scale. To simplify your choice, we have categorized top-tier vessel management software by company type. Explore our recommendations below to find the ideal fit for your organization.
SMARTShip™ can integrate with existing ERPs and applications to enable centralized management across marine fleet management operations. By integrating more than 5,000* onboard data points with weather information, it enables high-precision analysis (*Information confirmed on the official webpage as of December 2025).
In addition, the dedicated app SMARTShip GO enables real-time visibility into vessel status regardless of location.
It automatically collects regulatory data such as CII and EU MRV. It also automates emissions reporting through integration with ClassNK, obtains ClassNK certifications such as AssetAI, and ensures secure data transfer via HTTPS encryption. In an increasingly digitalized shipping industry, it helps improve the efficiency and reliability of compliance with regulations.
Pricing information is not publicly disclosed, and implementation costs vary depending on fleet size and the modules used. Because the configuration is considered based on operating requirements and objectives, specific terms need to be confirmed through an individual inquiry.
One expected use scenario for SMARTShip™ is to continuously track in-voyage fuel-consumption trends and changes in CII indicators, and use them to review operating conditions. By referring to information such as recommended speeds and routes, a company can examine options for more efficient operations.
In addition, by using AI to analyze operating data for equipment such as the engine, it can help identify early signs of condition changes and provide inputs for planning maintenance and response actions for port calls in advance.
During implementation, installation support by specialist engineers is provided as needed. After implementation, a support structure to help establish operations is available, and inquiries about operation and use are handled through local offices. Because support hours and scope vary by contract, confirmation is needed at the time of implementation.
