AI-driven automation and optimisation for global shipping

NeptuneZero is developing an integrated solution combining onboard IoT hardware, edge computing, and cloud-based analytics, aiming to automate maritime reporting and improve fleet performance in real time.

Its platform collects and validates data using artificial intelligence algorithms, automatically generates daily reports, and provides real-time fleet analytics. By eliminating manual processes, it enables data-driven decision-making. Replacing error-prone and time-consuming workflows, NeptuneZero significantly reduces administrative burden while improving data accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Measurable impact: fuel savings, cost reduction and compliance

The company’s solution delivers direct and quantifiable value to shipping operators:

• ~3% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions
• ~100,000 euros + annual savings per vessel on average
• Return on investment (ROI) in approximately 6 weeks

At fleet level, NeptuneZero has already demonstrated:

• ~US$574,000 annual fuel savings across a 5-vessel fleet
• Additional savings from reduced EU ETS compliance costs
• Enhanced operational transparency and decision-making

Strong early commercial traction in a 700-billion-dollar market

NeptuneZero is already showing strong commercial momentum:

• 1 million euros in contracted revenues
• Installations across more than 100 vessels
• Partnerships with leading Greek and international shipping companies

The company operates within a rapidly transforming global maritime ecosystem, driven by decarbonization targets, increasing regulatory pressure (EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, IMO DCS), and rising fuel costs.

With the global merchant fleet exceeding 100,000 vessels and the marine IoT market estimated at 700 billion dollars, NeptuneZero positions itself at the forefront of a large and fast-growing industry.
