NAVTOR partners with Chris-Marine to enhance data collection and reduce reporting workloads

NAVTOR has taken another step in its mission to ‘make life easier’ for shipping crews and companies, announcing a fresh strategic partnership with Sweden’s Chris-Marine. The agreement will see Chris-Marine integrate its acclaimed Trust-Ocean data collection system within NAVTOR’s NavBox and NavReporting platforms, empowering greater efficiency and data accuracy for users worldwide.

Jacob Clausen, Director of Performance, NAVTOR, says the move will help “optimize smart shipping solutions” and “unlock next level benefits” for both vessel crews and onshore teams.

 Simple, seamless, accurate

 “This is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to work with fellow segment leaders to deliver optimal value across the NAVTOR digital ecosystem,” Clausen comments.

 “Chris-Marine’s hardware and expertise make data capture simple and accurate, allowing for greater auto-population of data within reporting, reduced crew workloads, less manual errors, and better onshore insights, with high-frequency operational data consistently delivered to shore-based verifiers and stakeholders. It both streamlines operations and provides added value, driving better decision-making through seamless, high quality data flows.”

 Shared vision

 It’s a move that further strengthens NAVTOR’s ecosystem, which currently delivers smart shipping products and services to more than 18,000 vessels in the world fleet. Integrated, accurate and secure data can now be shared across Digital Logbooks, e-Navigation systems, Performance and Monitoring solutions, and more. NavReporting is NAVTOR’s innovative, highly automated noon reporting tool.

 “With over six decades of experience, Chris-Marine has been delivering precision tools for marine engines alongside cutting-edge monitoring technology. We’re delighted to bring our long-standing expertise on board with NAVTOR”, says Leif Abildgaard, CCO at Chris-Marine. “We share the same vision of helping shipping companies enhance efficiency, improve performance and make safe, sustainable decisions through smarter data use, so it’s a perfect match.”

 The agreement was announced today at Nor-Shipping 2025, taking place in Lillestrøm, Norway.
