Descriptiontext

UniSea is a Norwegian maritime software company founded in 1997 in Skudeneshavn that provides a cloud-based Fleet Management System (FMS) for commercial shipping operators worldwide. The platform comprises 40 integrated modules organized around seven solution categories (Safety & Quality, Technical, Operations, Personnel, Documentation, Environment, and IT Services), with flagship products covering HSEQ incident reporting, planned maintenance, vessel inspections, dry-docking project management (Maindeck), crew tracking, risk management, emissions and environmental compliance, and IT services for onboard systems. UniSea's technology architecture emphasizes offline-capable mobile applications for vessel use where connectivity is intermittent, fleet-wide version control, and native alignment with international maritime compliance frameworks including OCIMF/SIRE 2.0 and TMSA. The company serves ship managers, shipping companies, offshore oil and gas operators, and tanker operators across heavy lift, chemical tankers, general cargo, offshore support, and yacht segments.

UniSea generates revenue primarily through subscription-based SaaS contracts (annual billing, quote-based pricing) bundled into packages such as Enterprise, Technical Bundle, and TMSA modules, supplemented by professional services for implementation, data migration from legacy systems, and customization. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by an annual customer conference and content marketing through maritime industry publications. UniSea is majority-owned by Swedish private equity firm Adelis Equity since 2022, under which the workforce has tripled and the company has executed two acquisitions: Maindeck AS in October 2023 to add dry-docking project management, and Berlin-based Kaiko Systems in May/June 2026 to add AI-powered mobile inspection tools with computer vision capabilities. The combined UniSea Group now supports over 4,000 vessels globally and operates from offices in Skudeneshavn, Bergen, Berlin, London, and Singapore. Founder Kurt Roar Vilhelmsen remains as CEO.
