What Grieg Connect does

Grieg Connect AS is a Norwegian private software company that delivers a cloud-based Port Management Information System (PMIS) to port authorities, terminal operators, and ferry operators, primarily across the Nordic region. The platform, branded Port, follows a modular architecture connecting vessel visit planning, quay allocation, resource assignment, work-order execution, ISPS-compliant security and gate workflows, rental and lease management, GIS visualization, business intelligence, and a modern API for ERP and national reporting integrations. Adjacent products include Terminal (container TOS), Shiplog Traffic (real-time AIS-based vessel tracking for 285+ ferries and high-speed vessels), and an ISPS e-learning course.

The platform is built on modern cloud infrastructure (Azure services, .NET/.NET Core backend, TypeScript/React/React Native frontend, SQL Server) and integrates with national Maritime Single Window systems (PortNet, SafeSeaNet, NEMO), financial ERPs (Netvisor), and transport data standards (SIRI/ITxPT, Power BI). Product-level evidence of AI is limited to an ETA prediction algorithm and contribution margin simulation.

Grieg Connect monetizes through predictable monthly subscription fees on cloud modules, multi-year customer agreements, and phased implementation professional services, delivered exclusively via direct enterprise sales (regional sales managers across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Germany) and an in-house customer-success team. The company operates from six offices in Oslo, Kristiansund, Kristiansand, Gjøvik, Karlstad, and Tampere, with 30+ employees, 115+ port authority / terminal customers (80% PMIS market share in Norway, 50% TOS share per 2021 data), and benefits from the parent Grieg Group's 140-year maritime heritage.

• Wellamo Data OycoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 4 December 2025Acquisition of Finnish PMIS provider Wellamo Data Oy in December 2025, strengthening Grieg Connect's Nordic footprint and establishing presence in mainland Finland. Wellamo Data was a provider of port management information systems in Finland, and its acquisition expanded Grieg Connect's customer base and local expertise in the Finnish market.
• Sea-CargocoreTechnology or Integration · 18 November 2025M2M (machine-to-machine) integration between Sea-Cargo's vessel systems and Port of Bergen's PMIS. All cargo information from Sea-Cargo vessels is automatically transferred into the port management system for automated invoicing and statistics, eliminating manual data entry. Solution is scalable and can be implemented in other ports where Sea-Cargo operates.
• PortNet / National Maritime Single Window SystemscoreTechnology or IntegrationIntegration with national Maritime Single Window systems including PortNet (Norway/Finland) and NEMO (future). Grieg Connect's PMIS connects to national regulatory reporting systems, enabling ports to fulfill MSW reporting obligations automatically as part of the port call workflow. NEMO integration planned as it becomes available.
• Public Authorities and Shipowners (Shiplog)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerShiplog Traffic delivers real-time information to travelers by sea in cooperation with public authorities and shipowners. This public-private collaboration enables ferry passengers to receive ETA and deviation messages in real-time, supporting the broader maritime digital infrastructure.
• Grieg GroupcoreOthersGrieg Connect is a software firm that is part of the family-owned Grieg Group, with maritime heritage spanning more than 140 years. The group includes shipping and agency operations, seafood, terminal operations, and digital solutions.
