Oslo-based maritime fuel platform Ofiniti has acquired Rotterdam-headquartered maritime intelligence company Teqplay as part of a broader strategy to expand beyond bunker operations and build a fully integrated global maritime intelligence platform.
The acquisition brings Teqplay’s vessel tracking, digital twin and operational analytics technologies into Ofiniti’s existing bunkering ecosystem, allowing customers to access real-time vessel visibility, port-call benchmarking and operational decision-making tools across major global bunkering hubs.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
According to Ofiniti, the deal marks an important step in transforming the company from a bunker workflow provider into a broader maritime operations platform as shipowners, suppliers and ports increasingly demand connected digital solutions capable of combining operational management with live intelligence.
The company revealed that it processed more than 25,000 bunker operations in 2025, including approximately 500,000 metric tonnes of alternative fuels. Ofiniti expects alternative fuel volumes to increase tenfold in 2026 as LNG, methanol and other low-carbon marine fuels continue gaining market share.
In Singapore, currently the world’s largest bunkering hub, Ofiniti said its platform now represents around 40% of the digital bunkering market.
Founded in Rotterdam in 2015 by Léon Gommans and Richard van Klaveren, Teqplay specialises in tracking vessel and cargo movements across 490 ports in 90 countries using AIS data, weather information and port intelligence feeds.
Its Port Reporter platform is already widely used by shipping companies, terminals and port authorities to monitor vessel traffic and benchmark operational performance.
With the integration, Ofiniti customers will gain direct access to live operational data within bunker workflows. The combined platform will also introduce AI-driven decision-support tools and system integrations designed to help operators analyse and use operational data in real time.
Ofiniti chief executive Tue Nielsen said the maritime industry still suffers from major operational blind spots despite the scale of global shipping activity.
According to Nielsen, the lack of connected visibility has contributed to longer waiting times, operational disputes and higher emissions levels across ports and bunker operations.
He explained that Teqplay’s technology adds the missing operational visibility layer by connecting real-time vessel movement directly to bunker workflows, allowing bunker suppliers, traders and port authorities to monitor every stage of a bunker call from vessel arrival to fuel delivery.
Teqplay co-founder Léon Gommans, who will join Ofiniti as senior vice president partnerships, said the merger significantly expands the reach of Teqplay’s operational intelligence technology.
He noted that Teqplay was built around the idea that maritime operations become more efficient when all stakeholders share access to the same operational picture.
The acquisition also strengthens Ofiniti’s presence in the US Gulf market through Teqplay’s customer network, which includes the Port of Corpus Christi.
The move follows a period of rapid growth for Ofiniti. The company, which was spun out of classification society DNV in 2024, previously acquired Singapore-based Angsana Technology and secured a $6.8m funding round in March led by Verb Ventures.
Ofiniti stated that the Teqplay acquisition triples its customer base while also establishing its first dedicated office in the Netherlands as the company expands across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Industry investors backing the company said the deal reflects a wider transformation within maritime technology, where operators increasingly prefer integrated operational platforms instead of standalone software tools.
DNV Ventures venture director Kaare Helle described the acquisition as the next stage in Ofiniti’s evolution beyond compliance and execution services toward full operational decision support.
Verb Ventures founding partner Alex Chikunov added that shipping remains one of the least digitised global industries despite its scale, creating strong opportunities for platforms capable of combining workflows, operational data and intelligence within a single ecosystem.
