We want to help maritime professionals unlock their digital potential by providing smart and easy to use software solutions built on industry knowledge, big data and algorithms.
Norway is a small country, and most companies have very little bureaucracy and hierarchies. We have a well-functional maritime cluster of companies providing various services to the global maritime industry. That makes Norway an excellent place for developing a game-changing maritime software.
Maritime Optima was founded in April 2018 by Kristin Omholt-Jensen and her sons after mapping software in use and interviewing people working in the industry. When Pål-Robert Engnæs embarked as the CTO and investor in April 2020 the company came into operation.
We launched a test/beta version of ShipAtlas in September 2020. The first ShipAtlas MVP was launched in January 2021. We launched ShipIntel MVP with 5 modules in October 2022. Today the company is funded by the founders, employees, shipping investors, and Krysse AS. The company is also supported by the Norwegian Research Council and Innovation Norway.
We are 14 employees plus some students working part-time.
