Dear customers, partners and friends
It feels like 2025 has been a year of connection.
In a world that sometimes seems like it’s drifting apart, here at NAVTOR the bonds between our customers, partners, staff, key stakeholders, and even our solutions, have grown stronger than ever.
Central to that development has been the further integration of the fantastic staff and customers from Voyager Worldwide into the NAVTOR family. Since our formation in 2011, we’ve always focused on working as one, unified team to make our customers’ lives simpler, safer and more sustainable. The acquisition of such an established, respected and large organisation could have challenged the way we worked, but we’re delighted to say it’s only strengthened the ‘new NAVTOR’s’ mission and commitment.
I’d like to offer a special thank you to our new and existing staff and customers for their trust, efforts and dedication to this development, helping NAVTOR cement the undisputed position of global leader in e-Navigation, performance and maritime technology.
We would not be here without you. It’s an honour to have you alongside us.
On the product side we’ve continued building our performance and monitoring offering, helping shipping companies worldwide simplify compliance and empower better business decision making. Our leading e-Navigation platform and services have gone from strength to strength, while we’ve been delighted to see the rapid adoption of NAVTOR’s Digital Logbooks by customers keen to make the (long-awaited) move from paper to pixels. There’s huge potential to build on this in 2026, and beyond, unlocking real competitive advantage for ambitious adopters.
Talking of potential, integrating AI into our solutions has been a focus (with both existing products and research and development projects), while our wonderful team has been working hand in hand with industry and regulators to help steer the way forward on the upcoming S-100 data standard. The future looks bright.
As the connections on our integrated digital eco-system grow, we’ve also been lucky enough to expand collaborations with customers across the board - hosting seven seminars worldwide, building ever-stronger product feedback loops, attending events and exhibitions all over the globe, and working as partners to address industry pain points.
We’ve never felt closer – or more connected – to the industry and individuals we serve.
Thank you again for helping make 2025 a year to remember. We can’t wait to voyage further with you in 2026.
On behalf of all the team here at NAVTOR, I’d like to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and, when the time comes, a very Happy New Year!
- Tor Svanes, CEO, and the NAVTOR team
