Elomatic signs agreement with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding to advance decarbonization and digitalization

The new collaboration focuses on leveraging Elomatic's engineering expertise and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's services to enhance energy efficiency, accelerate the adoption of alternative fuels, and drive digital innovation across the global maritime sector.

Elomatic has announced the signing of a Framework Agreement for Business Collaboration with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group. The agreement was formalized during a signing ceremony at Nor-Shipping 2025, one of the maritime industry's biggest events, held in Oslo, Norway.

Initial areas of collaboration include air lubrication systems, modular fuel supply systems for ammonia, and digital scanning with data analytics. These technologies are designed to be applicable across all vessel types, in order to comprehensively support the industry as it navigates the transition towards decarbonization and digitalization.

As part of the agreement, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS) will be integrated into carefully selected vessels to reduce hull resistance and fuel consumption. The MAmmoSS modular fuel supply system will support the adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel, enhancing safety and system flexibility. With regards to enhanced digitalization, Elomatic's Aura APM platform will bring practical asset performance management and data analytics into everyday ship operations. Our Reality Capture Solutions (RCS) will provide high-accuracy digital scans and 3D ship models. These models support planning, maintenance, and modification work by giving teams a reliable and up-to-date view of the vessel's structure.

Antti Yrjänäinen, Manager, Marine Life Cycle Solutions, at Elomatic, said: "Partnering with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding reflects Elomatic's commitment to delivering innovation on board vessels. It also supports our updated strategy and one of its key directions: combining our strengths across business areas to better serve our customers' needs. Our joint ambition is to provide forward-thinking solutions that add measurable value to our clients and support the maritime industry's sustainability efforts."

Shingen Takeda, Chief Technology Officer, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, added: "We are proud to collaborate with Elomatic, a company whose digital and engineering expertise aligns well with our wider strategic vision. This agreement represents a major milestone in expanding our global partnerships and delivering next-generation maritime technologies."
