Ofiniti Buys Teqplay — A Bunkering Platform Reaches for the Whole Operational Picture

Ofiniti, the Oslo-based fuel-operations platform that spun out of classification society DNV in 2024, has acquired Rotterdam maritime-intelligence firm Teqplay — folding real-time vessel tracking and port-call analytics into a business that until now handled bunker scheduling, coordination and documentation. The logic is consolidation: take the workflow you already own and wrap it in the live operational data that tells you what is actually happening. What each side brings: Ofiniti's platform processed more than 25,000 bunker operations in 2025, including 500,000 tonnes of alternative fuels, and holds roughly 40% of Singapore's digital bunkering market — the largest in the world. Teqplay, founded in Rotterdam in 2015, runs a maritime digital twin built on real-time AIS, weather and port data, tracking vessel and cargo movements across 490 ports in 90 countries; its Port Reporter tool gives independent, timestamped records of every vessel movement, used by port authorities, terminals and lines to benchmark performance and cut waste. The AI angle: Ofiniti says the combined platform surfaces AI-driven "next best action" recommendations directly in operator workflows, and exposes its data through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors so customer systems and AI agents can query it in real time. Why this matters for ship managers: the deal triples Ofiniti's customer base, opens its first Netherlands office and adds a US Gulf foothold anchored by the Port of Corpus Christi — but the bigger signal is structural. CEO Tue Nielsen frames the prize as removing the blind spots that cause "longer waiting times, more frequent disputes, and higher emissions." For managers, this is the standalone-tool-versus-integrated-platform question made concrete: the value is no longer a single feature but a connected picture from port call to fuel delivery. Watch whether integrated platforms like this measurably reduce demurrage disputes and waiting time — and whether rivals answer with consolidation of their own. [Splash247 · DNV]
