2017–2019, a retrospective Two years ago, I started Shone with my co-founders Ugo and Antoine with the idea that other transportation industries had seen a lot of innovation and digitization that had not yet reached the maritime world. Bear in mind, at that time it was not yet mandatory forContinue Reading
This blog post addresses a fairly different aspect of Scoutbase, rather than the usual safety-science, HSEQ, or tech perspectives. It addresses the peculiar thing it is to start and work in a business based on a dream and talks about creating change and improvement. Because that is what we atContinue Reading

We would like to invite our members of Maritime Startups Germany to the 10. Branchentag “Schiff & See” with the topic “Smart drive technologies and their contribution to environmental protection” New environmental requirements and legal regulations for emissions are forcing us to rethink shipbuilding and port technology. At the 10thContinue Reading
At Scoutbase we are all about asking questions. Good questions. The right ones. But why is it that we believe that this is valuable, and how did we come up with that? Solving problems is often praised and highly valued. Maybe because this at first glance seems more vigorous and resourcefulContinue Reading
Earlier, we wrote how ship owners and operators can lose millions by not considering all their bunker options. Here we show that even if all options are considered, high price volatility between bunker ports means the choice needs to be continuously scrutinised to avoid large P&L losses. Bunker prices fluctuate with the oil marketsContinue Reading
We think it is fair to say that Asset Performance Management (APM) represents the future of our industry in managing marine assets. In this article, we will review the reliability methodologies that are applicable for asset performance management (APM) and propose a process for deploying the appropriate tools at theContinue Reading
So what should we do on Monday morning? — Putting modern safety science into practice While it has been pointed out by researchers that the maritime industry is lagging behind other safety-critical domains in embracing contemporary approaches to safety, the industry is certainly on the move now. A still growing audience within maritime safetyContinue Reading
“Bunkering is without a doubt the most opaque market there is. At least when a fixture is done in shipping, the detail gets reported out there pretty quickly — sometimes before even the charterer and the owner know. But in this market, no one knows the ‘fixture’ of bunkers. TheContinue Reading
When people take a detailed tour of a real Machine Learning (ML) system for the first time, they are often disappointed. We know that we was. Data on expensive, high consequence failures would be particularly valuable to us, because we may be able to prevent those failures from happening, orContinue Reading
