Ofiniti replaces paper-based fuel delivery documentation at major ports worldwide. It streamlines scheduling, coordination, and documentation across all marine fuel types — from conventional fuels to LNG, methanol, biofuels, and ammonia.
Why now? The maritime industry is under mounting pressure to decarbonise, with new fuel types like methanol and ammonia entering the mix. Managing documentation and logistics for these diverse fuels using paper-based systems is increasingly untenable, creating a clear opening for digital solutions.
What could go wrong? Maritime is a notoriously slow-moving industry when it comes to tech adoption. Ofiniti will need to convince port operators and fuel suppliers across different jurisdictions to abandon entrenched paper-based workflows — a process that could take longer and cost more than anticipated.
The signal: Ofiniti is still at the early growth stage, yet it has already assembled a syndicate that blends specialist maritime capital (ShipsFocus Ventures, DNV Ventures) with climate-focused state funding (Nysnø) and a generalist tech VC (Verb Ventures). That breadth of backing suggests the company's port-level digitisation play is viewed less as a niche efficiency tool and more as critical infrastructure for a multi-fuel shipping future.
