Star Information Systems

What Star Information Systems does

Star Information Systems AS (SIS) is a Norwegian software company headquartered in Trondheim that has operated for over 25 years as a specialist provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software and related services for the maritime and energy industries. The company's flagship product, STAR Suite, is a unified platform combining core components (STAR Explorer, STAR Planner) with operational modules covering Maintenance, Supply & Logistics, QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Environment), Projects & Docking, and Asset Management, plus Advanced Tools and Mobile Apps. The platform is designed to be accessible on any device in both online and offline modes, addressing the operational reality of vessels and offshore assets that operate with intermittent connectivity.

The company serves a clearly defined enterprise customer base of shipowners, fleet managers, offshore operators, oil & gas companies, drilling contractors, and renewable energy operators. Named customers include OKEA, Altera Infrastructure, COSL, Ocyan, Fontis Energy, Roll Group, Hoegh Autoliners, ASP Maritime, Solvang ASA, Color Line, and Sapura Energy — a mix of European, Asian, and Latin American operators. In 2024, SIS acquired Sharecat, a provider of technical data quality solutions, to strengthen its data-driven asset management offering.

The business model combines recurring software licensing (subscription-style) with a substantial services layer: implementation, operational support, managed services, and consultancy. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to fleet size and module selection, consistent with a long-cycle enterprise sales motion. Distribution is exclusively direct — no reseller or channel partner network is evidenced — and lead generation runs through the company website, LinkedIn presence, and industry-specific content. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, headcount is 51-100, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• ABB Marine & Ports: Industrial automation incumbent with maritime digital offerings including fleet advisory and asset performance; competes more broadly than SIS and offers overlapping capabilities as part of a much larger portfolio.
• Kongsberg Digital: Maritime digital platform vendor offering Vessel Insight and various maritime SaaS solutions for shipowners; competes in maritime digitalization with a broader technology portfolio than SIS.
• IBM Maximo Application Suite: Industry-leading enterprise asset management platform with broad applicability across energy and industrial verticals — a generalist EAM incumbent that competes with STAR Suite for large enterprise EAM RFPs.
• Wärtsilä: Major maritime technology and services company with digital fleet and lifecycle solutions that touch on asset management, smart maintenance, and operational optimization — adjacent and partly overlapping with STAR Suite's domain.

Direct peers

• Veson Nautical: Maritime software platform focused on fleet operations, voyage management, and freight/commodity operations with maritime-specific workflows overlapping STAR Suite's fleet and operations planning modules.
• MESPAS: Swiss provider of maritime maintenance and asset management software for vessels and offshore units, with overlapping modules for planned maintenance, spare parts, and reporting — a direct functional competitor to STAR Suite.
• SpecTec (AMOS): Provider of AMOS Suite, a comprehensive maritime management software covering maintenance, procurement, QHSE, and crew — a direct end-to-end competitor to STAR Suite in the shipowner EAM segment.
• Tero Marine: Norwegian-headquartered provider of fleet management and EAM software for shipowners and offshore operators, directly competing with STAR Suite in maritime maintenance, procurement, and QHSE workflows.
• SERTICA (RINA): Maritime EAM and operations software owned by classification society RINA, offering maintenance, procurement, QHSE, and crew modules to shipowners — competing head-to-head with STAR Suite for maritime EAM budgets.

Others

• DNV (Veracity / ShipManager ecosystem): Maritime classification society with adjacent digital services and data platforms; while not a direct EAM competitor, it is a relevant ecosystem participant in maritime digitalization and could partner with or compete against STAR Suite.
