Brim Explorer has successfully reduced fuel costs by 30% on its Trollfjord cruise route using Cetasol's iHelm platform to optimize operations. This cost-saving strategy is applied consistently across hundreds of trips from Svolvær, enhancing sustainability and efficiency in operations.
Experienced operators know their vessels, but even the best crews can't manually track every operational variable across every voyage. iHelm doesn't replace human judgment. It adds a layer of data-driven insight that helps captains and crews identify patterns, validate decisions, and reduce fuel consumption. Experience and data, working together. cetasol.com
For decades, fuel measurement at sea meant hardware heavy installation, up to €50,000 per vessel, pipe modifications, and days of downtime. Cetasol challenges that assumption. CetaFuel creates a digital twin of the vessel's engine, delivering accurate real-time fuel insights with no fuel line installation and up to 90% lower CAPEX.
Cetasol introduces Ceta AI, a personal AI agent that helps maritime operators turn complex operational data into clear, actionable insights. By continuously analyzing vessel and fleet data, Ceta AI highlights trends and anomalies automatically, reducing manual analysis and supporting faster, more informed decisions on efficiency, performance, and operations.
Cetasol has signed a long-term fleet-wide framework agreement with Aesen to deploy its iHelm decision-support platform across 120 vessels. The agreement, which follows a collaboration that began in 2024, will see the first installations start in 2026, with full rollout planned over coming years, supporting fuel efficiency, operational insight, and the maritime energy transition.
Cetasol, together with Nordic and international partners, launches Nordic MiL, a Swedish Energy Agency–funded Model-in-the-Loop simulation platform. The project enables maritime stakeholders to evaluate vessel designs, operations, and energy-transition scenarios using data-driven digital twins—supporting informed decisions before investments or operational changes are made.
Cetasol has signed a long-term frame agreement with Stromma Group to deploy its iHelm decision-support platform across Stromma’s 140-vessel European fleet.
