Ofiniti, the digital platform for maritime fuel operations, on Wednesday (18 March) said the company raised USD 6.8 million in a growth round led by Verb Ventures, co-led by ShipsFocus with participation from DNV Ventures, Nysnø and other major investors.
The growth round brings Ofiniti’s total funding to USD 9 million to date and will accelerate international scaling across the world’s major bunkering hubs.
Ofiniti handles scheduling, operational coordination, and digital documentation for all marine fuels, including conventional, LNG, methanol, biofuels, and ammonia. The platform processed more than 25,000 bunker operations in 2025, including 500,000 metric tonnes (mt) of alternative fuels, with volumes expected to increase tenfold in 2026.
The platform saves an average of 45 minutes per delivery, which across the industry translates into savings of up to 40,000 man-days annually. In Singapore, the world’s largest digital bunkering market, Ofiniti holds approximately 40% market share.
Tue Nielsen, CEO, Ofiniti, said: “Our customers are managing more fuel types, across more ports, under more demanding documentation requirements than ever before. Including major fuel suppliers and global trading houses, they rely on Ofiniti’s seamless scheduling and automated documentation to reduce operational costs, protect themselves through verifiable digital records, and provide full transparency across every delivery.
“This funding enables us to serve more customers, in more markets, as demand for digital bunkering operations continues to grow.”
Alex Chikunov, Founding Partner, Verb Ventures, said: “Ofiniti has rapidly established and maintained market leadership in a USD 250 billion industry that is being forced to digitise by regulation.
“From Singapore to Rotterdam to the EU’s new emissions reporting requirements, the pressure on shipping to move from unreliable paper documentation to verifiable digital records is coming from multiple directions at once. Tue and his team have built a platform that will be essential for the industry’s largest operators, and we can help them scale it globally.”
Chye Poh Chua, Founder, ShipsFocus Ventures, said: “We saw Ofiniti’s potential early and have been consistently impressed by its rapid progress and execution. We are now doubling down to support Tue Nielsen and his team as they scale the platform globally, expand into new markets, and deliver on Ofiniti’s tremendous potential.”
Maren Stangeland, Investment Manager, Nysnø Climate Investments, said: “We see Ofiniti as key digital infrastructure for the maritime fuel transition – turning bunker deliveries from paper-based processes into real-time, verifiable data that stakeholders can trust. This matters even more as shipping moves toward alternative and low-carbon fuels, where transparency and data integrity are critical. We’re excited to support Tue and the Ofiniti team in the next phase of growth.”
Kaare Helle, Venture Director, DNV Ventures, said: “DNV Ventures continues to back Ofiniti because of its impressive growth and clear market validation. Under Tue’s leadership, the team has proven it can win and retain key customers, and the company is already a market leader in Singapore with strong potential to expand globally. With fast revenue growth, disciplined execution, and a compelling vision, Ofiniti is well-positioned to become a global maritime operations platform.”
Ofiniti was established within DNV and became an independent company in 2024. It is headquartered in Oslo with operations across Europe, Singapore, and a growing global footprint. In 2025, Ofiniti acquired Singapore-based Angsana Technology, expanding its capabilities and customer base in Asia-Pacific.
It has since expanded into West Africa, the ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) region, and Scandinavia as major fuel suppliers across those regions adopt the platform, and counts over 50 customers including trading houses, bunker suppliers, and shipping lines.
