Weilbach

What Weilbach does

Weilbach A/S is a privately held Danish maritime industry software and product provider headquartered in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Singapore, Egypt, Canada, and the United Kingdom (CherSoft Ltd.). The company serves shipping operators, fishing fleets, offshore operators, and other maritime industry participants with a portfolio that combines certified maritime software, digital products, and a direct e-commerce webshop of physical nautical goods.

The core product set comprises CherSoft Digital Log Books — certified by Lloyd's Register as conforming to IMO regulation MEPC.312(74) and the MARPOL Electronic Record Books standard — and the Pay-As-You-Sail (PAYS) ENC distribution service, which is DNV type-approved and compliant with the Joint RENC-PRIMAR & IC-ENC specification. These are complemented by bespoke/custom software development and a webshop selling sea charts, nautical books, digital products, flags, signs, instruments, and related maritime supplies. The group holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and (via CherSoft) ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, and operates an e-commerce storefront with global DHL shipping and Click & Collect at the Danish headquarters.

Weilbach generates revenue from four streams: software licenses and subscriptions, one-time and unit-priced nautical product sales through the webshop, 24/7 support and professional services, and bespoke software development. Distribution is a hybrid of direct e-commerce (long-tail SMB/consumer) and direct enterprise field sales for software licensing and custom projects, with marketing conducted primarily through the company website, LinkedIn, and email newsletter channels. The company appears to be independently operated, with no external investor or PE/VC ownership signals identified.
