OceanPass, a Copenhagen-based maritime tech company specializing in emissions reporting for the maritime industry, has been acquired by maritime navigation software company Weilbach, with Weilbach purchasing a 51% stake in the startup. This acquisition will lead to the integration of OceanPass’s emissions reporting system into Weilbach’s OneLog digital logbook offering. As a result, ship operators will be able to streamline their emissions reporting process, gaining access to a comprehensive overview of key indexes such as CII, EEXI, EEOI, AER, Poseidon, and Sea Charter, all centralized within OneLog. The move aligns with Weilbach’s mission to enhance shipping efficiency and safety through its software solutions, extending its range of services in the maritime industry.
