Smart Ship© Hub and ORBYT Global Group launch integrated maritime compliance and emissions platform
Smart Ship Hub and ORBYT Global Group partner to deliver integrated compliance and emissions reporting platform
11 March 2026
Smart Ship© Hub, a vessel optimisation platform serving the global maritime industry, has announced a strategic partnership with ORBYT Global Group, a specialist in maritime technology communications, to bring a fully integrated, single-window digital solution to shipowners, operators, and charterers.
The collaboration brings together Smart Ship© Hub's high-frequency onboard data capabilities and ORBYT Global's managed hybrid LEO/MEO/GEO connectivity infrastructure and digital services. The result is a secure, enterprise-grade ecosystem that unifies vessel performance monitoring, fleet operations, emissions reporting, regulatory compliance, and shore-based decision-making under one platform.
Shipping has long relied on fragmented digital tools and disconnected data sources — an approach that creates operational inefficiency, elevates compliance risk, and prevents companies from extracting full value from the data their vessels generate. As environmental and regulatory demands on the industry intensify, the case for consolidated, auditable systems has become impossible to ignore.
Smart Ship© Hub's proprietary onboard technology is built to capture high-frequency sensor data across both newbuilds and vessels already in service, regardless of shipyard or age. That data is enriched with operational, historical, and regulatory inputs to deliver real-time performance insights and actionable alerts to fleet managers and operators ashore.
ORBYT Global extends this with fully managed hybrid satellite connectivity, intelligent navigation tools, digital logbooks, and a suite of emissions management and compliance capabilities — all backed by round-the-clock global support.
Theodore Nikolopoulos, CEO and Founder of ORBYT Global Group, added: "By combining resilient global connectivity with advanced onboard data intelligence, we are delivering a unified digital environment that simplifies compliance and strengthens operational control. Together with Smart Ship© Hub, we are enabling shipowners to operate more efficiently while meeting evolving regulatory and environmental obligations with confidence."
Together, the integrated platform is designed to sharpen fuel performance, optimise voyages, and improve asset utilisation through real-time analytics and AI-driven decision support. It also automates reporting across International Maritime Organization frameworks, including EU ETS, CII, and broader ESG obligations — drawing from a single, auditable data source.
Joy Basu, CEO and Founder of Smart Ship© Hub, said: "This partnership moves maritime digitalisation from isolated tools to an integrated operational backbone. By aligning technology, connectivity, and managed services, we enable shipping companies to reduce complexity, improve decision-making, and future-proof their fleets for the decade ahead."
