A company that helps maritime companies digitize and transition from an analogue into a digital operating system.

ShipsFocus

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 looks to invest and build up to 20 maritime unicorns that help the $20 trillion seaborne trade and maritime supply chain cut huge wastage and GHG emissions.

In 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 we see Climate Change and Maritime Supply Chains as 2 sides of a same coin: to solve Climate Change, we need to tackle the huge wastage which according to McKinsey >40% occur in the supply chain, a great majority is via the sea. Cargo owners put aside extra materials, inventory & storage as costly contingencies due to shipping uncertainty & lack of visibility which perpetuate the wastage.

Yet, despite huge investments, creating such supply chain visibility confounds even the billion-dollar-funded startups and conglomerates.

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 builds teams who operate at the fringe rather than at the center as futurist system thinkers, designers, developers & operators, leveraging on the software & platform technologies, and taking an ecosystem approach in solving the myriad of problems systematically in the maritime web. 

In 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬, we understand the problems as practitioners, therefore we solve them as an outsider. The ultimate digital maritime supply chain that is visible, predictable & agile will eventually emerge from the systematic linking of data silos that require a wide range of resources including funding, expertise and talents we are putting together now. 

Join us in this greatest once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 💐𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 🎉 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫.

Yesterday afternoon together with about 70 maritime technology stakeholders in the ecosystem we had 'hi-tea' to celebrate what we consider as our "collective milestone". 

After all, digitalizing the maritime supply chain is a collective movement.

Mr. Kenneth Lim of Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) kindly and aptly described ours as 𝐚 𝟖-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (& 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞), 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (& 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (& 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥ism).

Thank you all for your kind support.

Our investee startup Cetasol - iMaritime Sustainability - focuses on maritime fleet management systems: 

"... including its 𝐢𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐦 digital platform that provides eco-driving guidance for commercial vessels, predictive maintenance, and features such as path planning, speed recommendations, and reports based on vessel operation statistics."

"The system consists of an onboard interface and cloud connectivity that utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI) to continuously find optimal operating parameters."

"Cetasol has also developed a technology called 𝐂𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥, a virtual sensor that helps users to monitor fuel consumption in real-time."

“𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 .... " said Volvo Penta Director Marine Commercial, Jan-Willem Vissers on exploring such potentials with Cetasol.

Not sure if this is the end of the VC.

But we became the world's first maritime-dedicated venture studio mainly by chance and due to necessity about 8 years ago.

When we started, our founders first researched deeply on why few maritime startups succeeded.

Through their own experimentations developing over a dozen innovative products, it was necessary to infuse ultra-high intensity and frequency domain-knowledge & input in the development scrums that the ecosystem could not offer.

This is especially challenging for the early stage startups that have to grapple with limited resource while trying to succeed from 0 to 1 in the maritime supply chain innovation before they run out of runway.

Before too soon, we were already operating as a venture studio with the rare combination of key resources: entrepreneurship (clear vision & incessant drive); talents; technology; domain knowledge; industry & corporate network, funding; etc. together.

By no means this is it. We're still experimenting. Every day is Day 1, until we see a digital maritime supply chain that delivers.
