About

The lack of turnkey solutions for automating processes in maritime logistics in a short time and a sane budget, with competence in IT and logistics, has become the main prerequisite for the creation of the Marine Digital System. Combining experience from different industries we bridge the gap between innovations and maritime logistics. Industry knowledge, software and product development skills resulted in the diversified technology-driven cloud-based platform with several use-cases.
