Digital bunkering platform Ofiniti successfully spun out from DNV

FuelBoss to continue under new DNV company Ofiniti

Ofiniti, formally known as FuelBoss, a platform for managing marine fuel bunkering operations, has attracted investment from private and venture capital investors as part of its successful spin out from DNV.

With port authorities stepping up their requirements for “digital bunkering”, the new corporate structure will allow it to operate with more agility.

DNV remains the largest shareholder of Ofiniti, with new investment led by a Nordic family fund and Singapore-based maritime venture capital firm ShipsFocus.

“DNV has developed a pathway to progress digital business ideas into new enterprises and incentivise corporate founders.  The fact Ofiniti has attracted such interest from investors is an endorsement of the great service it provides and a vindication of our Venture strategy,” said Kjetil Ebbesberg, DNV Chief Financial Officer.

“ShipsFocus is very pleased to be part of DNV’s startup spinoff in Ofiniti as the choice VC investor. Ofiniti’s flagship FuelBoss bunkering platform has the DNV innate quality and accreditation with its dominance in the LNG market share. We believe the founders will bring it to great heights,” said Chye Poh Chua, Founder of ShipsFocus.

With over 3,000 liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries completed since 2021, Ofiniti is a market leader in digitising LNG bunker deliveries and have recently expanded to support digital delivery of all marine fuels on its platform.

By digitising bunker operations and providing electronic Bunker Delivery Notes (eBDNs) Ofiniti’s customers are able to increase the utilisation of their bunker vessels, provide live delivery insights to customers and significantly reduce the time to invoice.

This transformation results in safer, more efficient operations, cutting back-office work and reducing cost of credit.

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important to the bunkering process as demonstrated by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore’s plan to make “Digital Bunkering” mandatory from next year.

“Digitalisation of the bunkering industry is set to accelerate rapidly. By spinning out of DNV Ofiniti will be positioned to deliver an independent operational platform and a trusted, experienced partner to support both digital transformation and decarbonisation efforts at the pace that is required,” said Martin Wold, Founder of Ofiniti.

Three DNV employees leave their jobs in DNV to join Ofiniti as full-time founders in addition to new hires in commercial and product development.

New agreements inked to advance marine electrification in Singapore

Innovation Norway and Team Norway on Wednesday (6 November) announced two agreements aimed at advancing sustainable maritime solutions, signed at the Singapore Norway Innovation Conference (SNIC) 2024.

The first agreement—a Letter of Intent (LOI)—was signed by Lita Ocean Pte Ltd, SeaTech Solutions International (S) Pte Ltd, Pascal Technologies AS, and Evoy AS, to develop a fully electric high-speed harbour craft specifically designed for Singapore’s maritime landscape. The second agreement—a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)—was signed between Yinson GreenTech and Evoy, aiming to foster collaboration in marine electrification across Asia. 

The LOI signed between Lita Ocean, SeaTech Solutions, Pascal Technologies, and Evoy marks a key milestone in Singapore’s ongoing efforts to decarbonize its maritime industry. 

The project will develop a fully electric passenger harbour craft, integrating cutting-edge technologies like advanced electric propulsion and air lubrication systems to maximise energy efficiency and performance. This new vessel will set new standards for sustainable harbour operations and support Singapore’s green transformation goals in maritime transportation.

The collaboration builds on previous advancements in electric harbour crafts in Singapore, positioning the project as a critical step toward achieving maritime decarbonisation and a cleaner, greener future for the region. 

Additionally, Yinson GreenTech and Evoy have signed an MoU that will combine their strengths to drive marine electrification in the region. Yinson GreenTech’s electrification solutions, paired with Evoy’s electric propulsion systems, will support the conversion of internal combustion engine (ICE) vessels to electric power and foster the development of new electric vessels. 

This partnership is aimed at advancing the transition to a more sustainable maritime industry, with the shared goal of exploring new opportunities, collaborating on upcoming projects, and playing a key role in the broader transition to greener shipping solutions in Asia. 

The MoU was signed by Jan-Viggo Johansen, Managing Director of marinEV at Yinson GreenTech, and Mads Roland-Glimsholt, Business Development Manager at Evoy. 

“As a proud partner in this Norway-Singapore initiative, Evoy is excited to bring our high-performance electric propulsion systems to Singapore’s maritime landscape. We are committed to setting new standards in sustainable harbour craft and working with our partners to support a greener future in maritime transport” Mads Roland-Glimsholt, Business Development Manager at Evoy.
