Color Line has signed an agreement with NAPA to deploy NAPA Logbook across its entire fleet of five vessels throughout 2025. The implementation of the electronic logbook solution helps meet growing safety, compliance, and efficiency requirements for ferry operators, while reducing onboard workload for crew. The vessels will operate along domestic Norwegian routes and international services between Oslo and Kiel.
This strategic move away from manual data entries builds on a longstanding relationship between the two companies, and supports Color Line’s digitalization goals by automating compliance, ensuring traceability and improving collaboration between ship and shoreside teams.
By adopting NAPA Logbook, Color Line will simplify environmental and safety reporting, streamline regulatory compliance, and ease crew workload. Seafarers will be able to save time, avoid duplicate data entry and reduce the risk of errors, while shoreside teams gain seamless access to 24/7 real-time data via NAPA Fleet Intelligence, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
The rapid rollout of NAPA Logbook has been fully remote, without the need for onboard hardware installation, making it easier to update in line with crew needs and to scale across the fleet.
Henrik Baråt Svensen, Superintendent Maritime Digitalization at Color Line commented: “The wellbeing and safety of our crew and passengers is always our top priority. Working with NAPA has allowed us to take a proactive approach to safety by leveraging digital solutions, like NAPA Logbook, that understand our operations and crew. This has helped simplify daily tasks and save time, while improving data quality and reporting.”
Markus Tompuri, Account Director, Ferry and Navy at NAPA said: “The potential for digitalization to transform the ferry sector is significant, and our long-standing relationship with Color Line is testament to the numerous benefits for safety, compliance and crew wellbeing that are on the table. We are looking forward to working with Color Line to further support them on their digital transformation with connected, purpose-built solutions, particularly as regulatory requirements tighten.”
