Ofiniti, a Norwegian maritime technology startup, has secured $6.8 million in funding to expand its software solutions for fuel management in global shipping hubs. The company, which emerged from DNV, a leading energy and maritime technology organization, has already processed over 25,000 bunker operations in 2025 and claims to hold around 40% of Singapore’s digital bunkering market.
Streamlining Global Shipping Operations
The maritime fuel supply chain is notoriously complex and reliant on manual processes, often leading to inefficiencies and errors. Each fuel delivery to a vessel at a port generates a series of paperwork and coordination tasks that can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. Ofiniti’s platform aims to digitize and automate these processes, offering real-time data management and compliance tracking for fuel suppliers, ship operators, and port authorities.
The latest funding round was led by Verb Ventures, bringing the company’s total funding to $9 million. This investment underscores growing interest in digital solutions within the maritime sector, where operational inefficiencies can have significant financial and environmental impacts.
Expanding Global Reach
With this capital, Ofiniti plans to extend its presence into other major shipping hubs around the world, including Rotterdam, Shanghai, and Los Angeles. The company's software is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing port and vessel management systems, making it easier for stakeholders to adopt and scale digital solutions across their operations.
Industry experts suggest that as global shipping becomes increasingly regulated and environmentally conscious, tools like Ofiniti’s will be critical for maintaining compliance and reducing operational costs. The company’s rapid growth and market share in key ports indicate a strong demand for such digital transformation in maritime logistics.
Conclusion
As the shipping industry continues to modernize, Ofiniti’s success highlights the increasing importance of technology in addressing age-old logistical challenges. With further expansion on the horizon, the company is well-positioned to become a key player in the digitalization of global maritime operations.
