C Transport Maritime rolls out Kaiko Systems’ solution on their fleet of 30 vessels
Kaiko Systems solidifies CTM’s safety regime and makes manual technical
operations more efficient and reliable
Berlin, November 16, 2022 – Berlin-based Kaiko Systems today announces a partnership with
C Transport Maritime (CTM) to roll out its software on CTM’s entire fleet under technical
management, consisting of 30 dry bulk carriers. By using Kaiko Systems’ software, CTM will be
able to streamline crews’ manual technical operations on board and make routine operations
such as inspection and maintenance more data-driven and proactive.
CTM is one of the world’s premier dry bulk carriers. With a rigorous and innovative safety
regime, CTM has recently won the 2022 Safety4Sea Dry Bulk Operator Award. Their decision to
implement Kaiko Systems followed an intensive trial phase. During the trial, it was proven that
Kaiko Systems can provide insights on how the safety regime is being conducted, and reduce
time needed on inspections for crews. In addition, the system structures the data into visualized
insights, allowing shore teams to immediately identify potential issues and take action.
Efficient and data-driven onboard technical operations via mobile devices
“Speed and accuracy are key to technical management”, comments Francesco Canepa,
Technical Director at CTM. “Kaiko Systems is able to verify and structure data into dynamic
analysis automatically. This gives us visibility on how thorough our safety regime is carried out
and allows us to identify off-hire risks and take action for our clients earlier. On top of which, the
Kaiko Systems team is fast and eager to absorb new ideas to continuously improve their
offering. We expect that working with Kaiko Systems will bring further improvements to our fleet
performance and operational efficiency.“
Mr. Canepa also highlights the level of transparency CTM can now bring to their clients: “With
Kaiko Systems, it’s now possible for our clients to have up-to-the-minute assessment of their
vessels at both a macro and a granular level. This can be overall condition rating, pictures,
trends, and even the effort crews spend on maintaining the vessel’s health condition.”
Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder and CEO of Kaiko Systems, says of the partnership: “CTM is
known for its competent people who consistently deliver the highest quality for their customers.
Being able to win their trust is a testament to the value proposition of our product and the
effectiveness of our rollout operations. Kaiko Systems provides much-needed solutions for ship
managers and owners of all sizes. Companies working with us can expect convincing results
immediately, rather than long research and development phases. This sets us apart from many
other companies and solutions in the market.”
Kaiko Systems continues to grow
Kaiko Systems, a two-year-old technology company, is on a strong growth path. The solution is
trusted by companies like Columbia Shipmanagement, Marlow Navigation, USC Barnkrug and
others. To date, Kaiko Systems is being rolled out on over 250 vessels, with more than 10,000
inspections already successfully completed.
