Nakakita invests in Smart Ship Hub to revolutionize Japanese maritime industry

Smart Ship Hub (SSH) has received significant strategic investment from one of Japan’s largest maritime equipment manufacturers.

In particular, Nakakita Seisakusho, the Japanese market leader in valves and high quality fluid control devices, is known for its innovative butterfly valves and various other fluid control systems.

" Japan is an important market for us and we have learnt a lot from Japanese processes and quality frameworks over a long period of time. Having invested significantly in this market already, a long-term partnership such as this is very positive for the Japanese maritime ecosystem. "

Joy Basu, CEO of Smart Ship Hub, said.

"Smart Ship Hub is one of the fastest growing maritime digital platform globally and we have been assessing their growth for some time. Their global presence, deep technology competences, top tier client base coupled with what is a robust digital platform, is just the right combination that appealed to Nakakita."

..Teruhis Miyata, President of Nakakita Seisakusho.

“Keeping with the tradition of customer first and value-based outcome, we decided to combine skills from both sides to ensure an easy and smooth digital transformation process. By investing in SSH, we are disrupting the legacy processes, bringing in efficient workflows for maritime companies and setting new standards in digitally powered fleet management. With the current emphasis on technology-managed processes and remote management of the fleet, Japanese maritime companies will be able to drive in bottom line savings while enhancing efficiencies with SSH’s ‘All in One’ platform experience that will be further curated by Nakakita,” he added.

As explained, maritime companies worldwide are transitioning from traditional legacy processes to technology-enhanced experiences. The integration of high-frequency sensor data with legacy process data, vessel manuals, and updates from dry dock and maintenance forms the basis for comprehensive data-driven intelligence. SSH’s proprietary IoT gateway can extract data from various machinery and equipment, including main engines, diesel generators, flow meters, pumps, scrubbers, boilers, bridge and navigation systems, and cargo. This capability generates a rich source of high-quality data that underpins AI-driven ship management practices.

How Smart Ship Hub Cuts Costs and Connects Fleets Like Never Before

During Singapore Maritime Week, I had an informative conversation with Joy Basu, CEO of Smart Ship Hub. Since its founding in 2018, this company has been addressing the maritime industry’s significant challenges. Rising operational costs, limited ship-to-shore connectivity, and declining interest among young seafarers – these are the problems Smart Ship Hub is working to solve with its digital platform. For more details about their approach, the full interview video provides a comprehensive look at their maritime solutions.

Basu recognized an opportunity in an industry traditionally reliant on family-run fleets, Excel spreadsheets, and legacy systems. Smart Ship Hub collects live sensor data and integrates with existing ship systems – without requiring retrofitting – to create a unified source of information. This consolidated data gives ship owners, operators, charterers and insurers immediate insights that help reduce inefficiencies and improve decision-making. With fewer than 10% of the world’s 65,000 merchant vessels currently using smart technology, there’s substantial room for improvement across the industry.

Smart Ship Hub offers a comprehensive approach rather than focusing on isolated issues. The platform provides practical intelligence for fuel and hull performance monitoring, condition-based maintenance, and other key operational areas that directly affect costs. For example, it helps prevent equipment failures and optimizes voyage routes based on weather conditions. During our discussion, Basu described their partnership with DNV that streamlines emissions reporting, saving resources while ensuring compliance. Their collaboration with Navarino brings improved connectivity to vessels, enabling video feeds and remote management that strengthen ship-to-shore communication.

Particularly noteworthy is Smart Ship Hub’s effect on recruiting new seafarers. By involving younger crew members in data collection and analytics – and providing them with competency certificates – the platform makes seafaring more appealing as a technically advanced career. Basu explained how a cadet might connect gateways, monitor data flowing to the cloud, and observe analytics in action. This hands-on experience with modern technology helps attract interest and updates perceptions of maritime careers.

Rising costs, connectivity challenges, and workforce concerns are all being addressed by Smart Ship Hub through data-driven solutions. For a more detailed understanding of how they’re improving maritime operations, I recommend watching the complete interview with Joy Basu from Singapore Maritime Week – it provides valuable insights into the industry’s digital development.

“It is exciting to see the possibilities for operational and cost benefits that a platform such as Smart Ship Hub can produce for maritime businesses,” says Sven Brooks, senior director of IoT business development for KVH. “KVH Watch will enable Smart Ship Hub to have access to the real-time data that will make their digital platform all the smarter and will allow them to conduct troubleshooting sessions to solve critical issues at sea. More importantly, it will allow SmartShipHub to deploy more digital services and features than ever before as KVH Watch removes the technical constraints and limitations imposed by the traditional satellite connection onboard.”
 
Getting information from a vessel to shore is essential for bringing the maritime ecosystem into the digital age. Real-time data from the vessel’s equipment is the starting point for performance optimization. However, the ship’s bandwidth is constantly contested by other users, so there are data limits that prevent an IoT service company from scaling its digital business properly. Furthermore, this limited bandwidth poses a bottleneck for any required video troubleshooting. There needs to be high-speed Internet connectivity to enable video troubleshooting while the vessel is at sea, which saves time and money in port. Network management and cybersecurity issues must also be addressed as shipowners often restrict access for external parties. Therefore, a dedicated IoT connectivity solution is critically important for reducing cyber risks by keeping OT (operational technology) data flow separate from the vessel’s IT (information technology) data flow. Satellite connectivity designed for IoT is the key to being able to provide these services while the vessel is at sea and out of range of cellular signals.

Singapore, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart Ship Hub (SSH) is ready to deploy a digital platform for global maritime logistics. Like avionics in the aviation industry, SSH is revolutionizing the shipping industry. Cloud-based, on-demand SSH provides “a unified platform and a trusted and unique source of information” for shipowners, ship operators, charterers, shipping insurers, and port authorities. The platform is compatible with merchant ships, warships, oil rigs, riverboats and fishing boats.

Despite being the largest means of transportation in the world, operational inefficiencies, lack of visibility and transparency are widespread, leading to a loss of commercial opportunities. Today, shipowners, pilots, ship agents, and insurers are focusing on smarter processes backed by technology to ensure "high ship operating time, seaworthiness, and predictability" with digital systems.

SSH's "ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship"-based fleet management using smart sensors, IOT and big data is saving significant operational costs while increasing navigational efficiency. The digital platform helps to identify possible machine downtime, malfunctions predictions, performance deviations, and ship routes to improve navigation and vessel performance. SSH's Marine Insights is a proprietary maritime big data platform that uses millions of records to provide actionable intelligence, smart alerts, and performance advisory across its fleet.

SSH’s global customers can achieve goals of “minimum failure maintenance,” “optimal fuel utilization,” “maintaining full compliance, including emissions,” “optimizing costs with condition-based maintenance,” and much higher levels of “nautical control” goals. The Performance Advisory” feature reduces the number of such ship incidents while saving maintenance and fuel costs. The future-ready shipping companies are helping to build connected ecosystems. It is a "pay-on" model using connected ships, shared services (route, capacity, procurement), and SSH digital.

Joy Basu, founder of Smart Ship Hub, said: Digital platforms play a fundamental role in revamping the traditional processes of maritime. Traditional workflows that are inefficient on ships and on land are gradually being replaced by automated remote management. This funding will allow us to provide more value to our customers around the world. Customers will have access to a dedicated performance center at a fraction of the costs they currently borne. Shipowners, operators and charterers can obtain a digital upgrade of "zero" capital investment to free up capital and upgrade more ships.

This startup is building technology that will help ships connect with each other to optimise capacity

Singapore-headquartered maritime logistics tech startup Smart Ship Hub is working on a technology that will enable ships to connect with each other and share information. This will help optimise capacity, routes and procurement, thereby creating a “shared economy" in maritime logistics. 

 
The shared data platform, which leverages IOT, Big Data and machine learning, can help ship operators plan their next steps. If information on capacity of ships, the routes they are taking, and their destination are shared, multiple ships need not take the same route at 3/4th their capacity. Ships can also share information related to weather conditions and sea state and other voyage specifics.
 
 “This is the value of shared economy, which is functional in airline logistics and truck logistics. The same is now becoming a reality in maritime logistics,” says Joy Basu, Co-founder, Smart Ship Hub. 
 
Connected economy for shipping 
 
“Technology is in beta at this stage and we intend to go live in 2023. Ships will be able to share critical information that allows them to partner and leverage each other’s strengths. This will be an open platform wherein hundreds and, in future, thousands of vessels will be connected for their operations,” says Joy. According to him, shared economy in maritime logistics exists in a “smaller fashion wherein a few Japanese ship owners have joined hands to create their own pool of vessels.” 
 
Apart from enabling ship-to-ship connectivity using smart sensors in ships, the startup is also working on ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship connectivity. This will enable live tracking and monitoring of ships. Enabling a shared economy in the maritime industry is what Smart Ship Hub is current working on. Its flagship product is an integrated digital SaaS platform that helps ship operators and logistics firms in ship maintenance, planning of ship routes, and remote management of fleet. 
 
The company was set up in 2019 by Joy Basu and Captain Harminder to address the pain points of the maritime industry.
 
 
Challenges in maritime logistics 
 
Globally, maritime logistics suffers from issues such as fragmented players, lack of coordination and transparency, and low technology penetration. Ship operators, charterers, ports, and supply agencies exist in silos with little or no integration between them. Cargo owners don’t have information regarding the ship’s voyage, which is largely driven by brokers and agents. With no information from the vessel, shore staff seldom know when the ship has a breakdown mid-sea or faces the wrath of bad weather, causing a delay in cargo arrival and monetary loss. 
 
All these ultimately lead to cost leakages, delayed processes, higher cost of supplies, an expensive value chain, a poor supply chain, and inefficient ship management.
 
According to a report by UNCTAD, around 80% of global trade by volume and over 70% of global trade by value are carried out by sea and handled by ports worldwide. Given the importance of maritime trade in the global economy, the maritime logistics industry cannot afford inefficiencies and delays. This is where access to timely information is crucial. 
 
 
Access to information 
 
Smart Ship Hub's digital platform gives ship owners, ship operators, and charter companies access to a host of information such as the vessel’s health, machinery condition, cargo condition, ETA assessment, and possible delays due to weather.
 
Access to information will help ship owners, operators, charterers, and insurance companies plan shipping routes and rerouting, optimise performance, and manage overall operations.
 
Joy says, “Brokers and agents need not drive the process and system, which a digital platform can now do and make it transparent.” 
 
 
 
Predictive diagnostics 
 
The digital platform also helps in managing ship maintenance, fuel needs, ETA, and the ship’s need for spare part change—through predictive diagnostics. 
 
“All these go towards 3% to 15% savings in operational costs—the impact of which for a mid-sized ship owner could be in the range of $6 million,” says Joy.
 
Remote management Smart Ship Hub also aims to remove the need for physical visits for inspection or scheduled maintenance by enabling remote access for tracking and monitoring the fleet, managing surveys and audits, changing spare parts, and cargo handling.
 
Reports are automated, thus eliminating the need for port authorities to inspect the processes, says the company. 
 
In case of breakdown or downtime, Smart Ship Hub provides video-based assistance from the shore, thus doing away with the need to fly in a specialist from some part of the world.
 
The pandemic has made shipping companies realise the value of remote management and digital technology. Before COVID, the acceptance and decision-making timeline—to adopt and implement digital tech—was about 5 months. Now it has come down to 30 days, says Joy. 
 
“Inefficient and legacy workflows in ships and shore are gradually giving way to automated remote management,” he says. 
 
Key performance indicators The startup's digital platform also predicts key performance metrics to monitor operational efficiency and achieve cost savings. 
 
The key performance indicators (KPIs) include machinery’s health, condition of main engine, auxiliary engine, boiler and cranes, and remaining usable life of the machinery. These metrics enable decisions on maintenance timeline and procurement of spares. Other KPIs are low fuel consumption, accuracy of ETA, and lower expenses in monthly maintenance routine. These help organisations ensure there is no unscheduled breakdown or downtime in operations and the ship is always business ready.
 
According to Joy, these KPIs potentially lead to 11% savings with predictive algorithms. 
 
 
 
Pilot run and thereafter 
 
Smart Ship Hub ran its first pilot in 2018, with India’s largest private shipping company, Great Eastern Shipping, for ship management processes, with the help of business intelligence tools and native mobile apps. 
 
The pilot helped the company realise the huge gap in the supply chain, often between the ship owning team and the ship management team. This is the gap that Smartship Hub hopes to address through its digital platform.
 
hereafter, the team delivered a proof of concept for the Indian Navy at the Visakhapatnam dockyard for 55 warships. 
 
 
 
Market differentiation 
 
The startup competes with players such as Zero North from West Europe and Alpha Ori from Singapore. It claims to be the only organisation that offers the advantage of ‘zero capex investment’ to clients. This means clients don’t have to pay anything to install the platform. They have to pay a monthly subscription fee once the platform is active and commissioned. 
 
“This is affordable even for organisations with a fleet size as small as 10 vessels. Smaller organisations can get digitally upgraded for as low as $1500 a month for base services,” says Joy.
 
 
 
Growth so far 
 
Smart Ship Hub’s India subsidiary is in Pune. The company has a team of 26 full-time members across India and Singapore and 14 field engineers for onboard automation and installation consultants across Rotterdam, Singapore, Dubai, China, North Americas and Japan. The startup generated a revenue of $200K in 2020. It signed contracts worth $1.1 million in 2021 and $3.4 million in 2022.
 
Smart Ship Hub was started with an initial investment of $600K from the founders. In July 2022, it raised $2.5 million in a seed round to develop its ready-to-deploy digital platform for global maritime logistics. The funding round was led by Ideaspring Capital and StartupXseed Ventures. Edited by Swetha Kannan

Cisco LaunchPad accelerated Smart Ship Hub to launch ‘Digital Towers (Network Ops Center)’ for the global maritime industry

Clocking more than $20 trillion in global trade per annum, the global maritime logistics industry is the second largest in the world, next to the oil and gas industry. It supports 90 percent of the global trade, but if you compare it with airline or road logistics in terms of innovation and technology, it's almost a decade behind. 
 
The term ‘Ship 4.0’ or ‘Maritime 4.0’ is now being used by global shipping companies as they go about leveraging data, live situational awareness and analytical insights to boost the sector’s potential. Now vessel owners, operators, charter parties are actively looking beyond Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions or homegrown systems and can see inside their ships, predict machinery in action, track crew health through remote sensors and create a uniform source of truth that the industry desperately needs. 
 
Sensing the lack of buzz about these technologies in the Indian market, Joy Basu and Captain Harminder launched Smart Ship© Hub in 2019 and are building a remote vessel and fleet management, leveraging live sensor data and process data for trusted business intelligence and analytics services for ship owners and ship managers in the country.
 
 Working at the heart of the ship's automation
 
Smart Ship Hub does for ships and any floating object what avionics does for aircrafts. The digital platform uses sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to help fleet owners, operators, charter parties, ports, insurers, ship suppliers, brokers and agents track, monitor, control and predict multiple operational parameters. Smart Ship Hub’s digital platform upgrades any ocean-going vessel, including merchant vessels, naval vessels, cruises, yachts, oil rigs, fishing vessels within two days for a range of remote management processes across operational, technical and commercial workflows. 
 
These include managing the expected times of arrival, port communication, energy management in the vessel and fleet, business intelligence for ship management processes, analytics and trends for vessel consumption areas, reliability and predictability of machinery performance and a central repository of live data servicing each entity, through its Digital Tower (Network Operations Center).
 
Smart Ship Hub's clientele comprises both Indian and global companies including Orion Ship ( Singapore) , Fleet Management Ltd.( Hong Kong), Great Eastern Shipping Co. Ltd. (India), the Indian Navy, Nova Ships (Singapore), Seven Island Shipping (India), among others. Customers have consistently seen up to 5 percent savings in fuel utilisation, 15 percent on operational costs and up to 35 percent savings on shore operations. Ship owners have been able to increase asset reliability by 30 percent, helping them charge premium from the charter parties by showcasing remote management capabilities. 
 
One of Smart Ship Hub’s clients is a prominent owner of Bulkers and Tankers, headquartered in Singapore, with offices in London, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia and has 20 vessels under the Smart Ship Hub’s digital platform. They get live updates from vessels about navigation, weather, engine performance, fuel consumption, emission and exhaust, cargo condition and multiple other actionable intelligence on operational and technical KPI’s. This enables instant decision making w.r.t adjusting vessel speed and navigation parameters in case of external conditions such as wind/ sea swell, strong currents while adhering to ETA plans which have substantial trade impacts. 
 
All stakeholders, including vessel owners, ports, fleet operators and supplier agencies and other teams in the maritime ecosystem are well informed about the voyage and trade specifics. In this way, the vessel owner is continuously saving on fuel, ETA , claims settlements, port expenses and overall expenses in maintenance processes.
 
Standing out in an ocean of global players
 
Although Smart Ship Hub is the only B2B maritime digital platform in India providing on-demand cloud services, it is competing against three large players from Europe, Greece and Singapore. 
 
Smart Ship Hub's deep engineering and automation capabilities came in handy when it had to pivot and made it affordable by innovating the technology architecture with a flexible SaaS model.
 
"Our focus on adding direct value, by giving metrics to monitor cost savings and operational efficiencies scores better than our competitors. We are the only maritime digital company that covers most use cases under its predictive diagnostics services, while making it affordable even for organisations with a fleet size as small as 10 vessels," says Joy Basu, Co-founder and CEO, Smart Ship Hub.
 
It is also the only organisation with an offering of Zero CapEx investment, which means clients need not pay anything to get the platform installed and commissioned. They can start paying a monthly subscription once the platform is active, installed and commissioned. 
 
The company was also one of the few to be part of ‘Rainmaking Accelerator’, which opened up multiple possibilities to work with globally leading maritime companies such as Mitsubishi, Vale, Wilhelmsen for industry-sponsored projects.
 
Getting on board the Cisco LaunchPad partnership 
Smart Ship Hub's use cases of remote video-based maintenance and inspection, remote management, condition & health monitoring and predictive diagnostics got them to partner with global leaders such as Cisco. 
 
Cisco technology powers communication and network across 4,000+ ports in the world and once brought under Smart Ship Hub's digital network, it can potentially service all vessels coming in and going out of these ports. The partnership enabled quick go-to-market and the creation of a global support network across all these ports will be strategic to the growth of Smart Ship Hub. 
 
"The team driving Cisco LaunchPad is enviably committed and focused on the success of its cohort companies. We are glad that we have the attention of global leadership which is why we are extremely sure of the outcomes from this exercise. We have already started making customer pitches," says Joy. 
 
Cisco LaunchPad and Smart Ship Hub have put together a short term and long term plan in place. The former covers tech stack integration for Cisco global sales and solution team along with pitching it to companies managing cruises and ferries. The latter is to include Digital Tower and data centre services to be offered globally for the maritime value chain.
 
Creating remote access for maritime in the new normal 
 
At the beginning of 2020, the maritime industry experienced major shifts. With global maritime services being the backbone of logistics, Smart Ship Hub helped address challenges in the sector by removing the need for physical visits for inspection or scheduled maintenance. It enabled remote access for all aspects from tracking and monitoring the fleet to managing surveys, audits, changing of spare parts and even handling of cargo. Smart Ship Hub platform manages health and condition of ship’s machinery, cargo, crew while predicting key performance metrics.
 
Predictive diagnostics and ship health monitoring is helping customers accurately predict maintenance requirements, spare parts changes and fuel consumption. Also, reports are automated, eliminating the need for port authorities to inspect processes. 
 
"The pandemic made shipping companies realise the value of remote management. COVID-19 has shortened customer acceptance life cycle and decision-making for digital tech down to 30 days from earlier upto 5 months . For Smart Ship Hub, it helped us build faster on our competencies and roll out across multiple global ports," says Joy.
 
The journey so far and roadmap ahead The bootstrapped company has so far tracked, monitored and managed 3,000+ parameters with data telemetry every 10 seconds for each vessel . The founders expect to see revenues of $4.5 million in this financial year and are gearing up to contribute towards the SagarMala Programme, an initiative by the government of India to develop the country’s coastline, waterways and maritime sector. 
 
"Most of our customers are from Singapore, Hong Kong, Europe and the UK. However, with a strategic partnership with one of the ship registries, Smart Ship Hub’s 'Connected Vessels' platform will offer shared capacity for all ocean-going and coastal vessels along with sharing of routes, weather information, maintenance schedule and more," says Joy. 
 
Going forward, Smart Ship Hub is going to leverage data from its fleet for shared services and bring in at least 600 vessels to launch multiple other on demand cloud services. 'Digital Tower' or 'Network Operations Center' will disrupt the global maritime logistics process by centralising the value chain and putting a series of control features that will drive efficiencies and optimisation across the chain.
 
Digital Tower has the potential of optimising manpower utilisation up to 70 percent, leading to substantial cost savings across fleet management, response time and commercial processes. It also acts as a 24x7 support centre for ships to get instant feedback, updates and necessary instructions,” says Joy. 
 
He adds, "Voyage-related documentation can often range from 300 to 700 pages. With automation, all the information is available on dashboards and as on-demand reports. Digital Tower will in future publish trends, methods, best-case scenarios, advisory solutions and a range of shared cloud services for all vessels under Smart Ship Hub digital network."
