Software for the Maritime Industry
Custom maritime software: from fleet tracking and port logistics to crew management and IoT sensor monitoring. Digitise your maritime operations.
The Netherlands holds a leading position in global shipping as a maritime nation, with the Port of Rotterdam as the largest in Europe. The maritime sector encompasses shipping companies, port operators, offshore companies, and maritime service providers — all dealing with complex logistics chains, strict safety requirements, and international regulations. Custom software enables maritime businesses to track their fleets in real time, optimise port operations, efficiently schedule crew, and leverage IoT sensor data for predictive maintenance. MG Software builds robust solutions built to withstand the challenges of the maritime environment.
Pain points
- Lack of real-time insight into vessel location, status, and performance across the fleet
- Complex port logistics with manual coordination between shipping lines, terminals, pilot services, and customs
- Inefficient crew management with manual planning of crew rotations, certificates, and sailing qualifications
- Untapped potential of on-board IoT sensor data for predictive maintenance of engines and systems
- Difficult compliance with international maritime regulations (IMO, MARPOL, SOLAS) due to fragmented documentation
Our solutions
- Fleet tracking platform with AIS integration, real-time positioning, and per-vessel performance monitoring on a centralised dashboard
- Port logistics platform connecting shipping lines, terminals, and authorities for automated arrival, berth, and cargo planning
- Crew management system with automatic rotation planning, certificate tracking, qualification checks, and compliance alerts
- IoT monitoring platform that analyses real-time sensor data from engines, fuel consumption, and navigation systems for predictive maintenance
- Digital compliance register for IMO, MARPOL, and SOLAS documentation with automated reminders and audit preparation
Benefits
- Up to 25% lower fuel costs through real-time monitoring of routes, speed, and engine performance
- Faster port turnaround through automated planning and digital communication between all chain partners
- Full crew compliance with automatic certificate and qualification checks in accordance with STCW standards
