Raa Labs

What Raa Labs does

Raa Labs AS is a Norwegian maritime technology company, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lysaker, Norway, that builds vessel data infrastructure for commercial shipping operators. The company was incubated out of the Wilhelmsen Group, a 160-year maritime industrial conglomerate, and operates as a Wilhelmsen subsidiary with shared board leadership and access to the parent's industry network.

The company's core product is a cloud-based vessel data foundation that captures, standardizes, and serves high-frequency ship sensor data through structured APIs. It is delivered via two deployment paths: RaaEDGE, an onboard IoT platform that captures data directly from vessel systems with local buffering and OEM-agnostic protocol support, and Cloud Connect, a cloud-to-cloud integration that consolidates data from existing onboard collectors without new hardware. Data is standardized into industry schemas (ISO 19848, DNV VIS, JSMEA) and exposed via token-controlled APIs to downstream data lakes, analytics, reporting, and third-party applications. The platform is offered under three operating models — Self-Governed, Governed, and Assured — that progressively transfer operational responsibility for the "vessel data Function" from the customer to Raa Labs, with the Assured tier adding SLA-backed detection, investigation, and case management.

Raa Labs sells primarily to large enterprise fleet operators (container, RoRo, offshore) via a direct enterprise sales motion, supplemented by industry-event presence at Nor-Shipping and content-driven demand generation. Revenue is generated through annual subscriptions, professional services for onboard implementation, and managed-service fees under the Assured model. Named customers include Seaspan, Wallenius Wilhelmsen (with a verified 7% fuel-savings outcome from AI-driven voyage optimization), Solstad Offshore, and seminar-presenting operators Maersk, Eastern Pacific Shipping, and Wilhelmsen Group; documented technology partners include Wiz (security), DeepSea.AI, Toqua, VPS, and Corvus Energy.

Revenue model

1. Vessel Data Infrastructure Subscription: Annual subscription-based revenue model for vessel data infrastructure access. Customers pay for platform access across their fleet with different operating model tiers (Self-Governed, Governed, Assured) that vary in the level of operational support and accountability provided by Raa Labs.
2. RaaEDGE Implementation Services: Implementation services for onboard IoT platform deployment including hardware installation, system configuration, and validation. Part of initial customer onboarding.
3. Managed Services (Assured Model): Full operational management under the Assured model where Raa Labs operates the vessel data Function on behalf of the customer, including detection, investigation, coordination, and SLA-backed response and case management.

Core offering

Raa Labs provides a vessel data infrastructure platform that captures, standardizes, and delivers high-frequency vessel data at fleet scale for maritime operators. The platform consists of two deployment paths — RaaEDGE (onboard IoT platform for direct vessel system capture) and Cloud Connect (cloud-to-cloud integration for existing onboard collectors) — feeding into a unified data foundation served through structured APIs in multiple industry standards (ISO 19848, DNV VIS, JSMEA). The company also operates the data Function with three service tiers (Self-Governed, Governed, Assured) to maintain operational data reliability.

Product overview

Raa Labs provides vessel data infrastructure as a unified platform comprising two deployment paths: RaaEDGE (onboard IoT platform) and Cloud Connect (cloud-to-cloud integration), both delivering into the same Raa Labs fleet tenant. The Foundation standardizes and contextualizes vessel data across the fleet, served through structured APIs with token-based access control. Three operating models offer escalating Raa Labs responsibility: Self-Governed (customer operates), Governed (full visibility), and Assured (Raa Labs operates the function with SLA-backed accountability).

Products and services

• RaaEDGE Onboard IoT platform that captures data directly from vessel systems, standardises at the source, and delivers to the cloud. Handles signal capture, local processing, buffering during connectivity loss, and secure transmission. OEM-agnostic across all common industrial protocols. Designed for maritime operators who need onboard data capture or want to replace existing data collection setups.
• Cloud Connect Cloud-to-cloud integration that brings data from existing onboard collectors into the Raa Labs foundation at the cloud level. No new hardware required. Consolidates data from multiple collectors and OEM clouds into one foundation, handling format mapping, signal identification, and contextualization. Designed for maritime operators who already have data collection infrastructure and want to build on that investment.
• Vessel Data Infrastructure (Foundation) The integrated system producing one trusted dataset across the fleet. Captures vessel data at source, standardises across vessels and systems, stores and serves through APIs in naming schemas downstream systems require (ISO 19848, DNV VIS, JSMEA). Includes ingestion, standardisation, calculations, governance, API access, and portal.
• Vessel Data Function The operational discipline that keeps the Foundation reliable over time. Monitors data health, investigates root causes, and takes action to restore data streams. Available in three operating models: Self-Governed (customer operates), Governed (full visibility from Raa Labs), and Assured (Raa Labs operates the Function with SLA-backed accountability including detection, investigation, coordination with crew/IT/OEMs/vendors, and case management).
