Smart Ship Hub and ORBYT Global Group partner to deliver integrated compliance and emissions reporting platform

Smart Ship Hub (SSH), a leading vessel optimisation platform, has entered a strategic partnership with maritime technology communications specialist ORBYT Global Group to deliver a fully integrated, single-window digital solution for shipowners, operators and charterers.

The partnership combines SSH’s high-frequency onboard data platform with ORBYT Global’s managed hybrid LEO/MEO/GEO connectivity and digital services, creating a secure, enterprise-grade ecosystem that unifies vessel performance monitoring, fleet operations, emissions reporting, regulatory compliance and shore-based decision-making.

The maritime industry continues to operate with fragmented digital tools and siloed data sources - a structure that drives inefficiency, increases compliance risk and limits the value extracted from operational data. With regulatory and environmental pressures accelerating, the need for integrated, auditable systems has become critical.

SSH’s proprietary onboard technology captures high-frequency sensor data from both newbuild and existing vessels, independent of shipyard or vessel age. The data is securely combined with operational, historical and regulatory inputs to generate real-time performance insights and intelligent alerts.

ORBYT Global complements this capability with fully managed hybrid satellite connectivity, intelligent navigation, digital logbooks, emissions management and compliance tools, supported by 24/7 global service.

The integrated platform enhances fuel performance, voyage optimisation and asset utilisation through real-time analytics and AI-driven insights. It also enables automated reporting aligned with requirements from the International Maritime Organization, including EU ETS, CII and wider ESG frameworks, all from a single auditable data source.

Joy Basu, CEO of Smart Ship Hub, said: "This partnership moves maritime digitalisation from isolated tools to an integrated operational backbone. By aligning technology, connectivity and managed services, we enable shipping companies to reduce complexity, improve decision-making and future-proof their fleets for the decade ahead.”

Theodore Nikolopoulos, CEO of ORBYT Global Group, added: "By combining resilient global connectivity with advanced onboard data intelligence, we are delivering a unified digital environment that simplifies compliance and strengthens operational control. Together with Smart Ship Hub, we are enabling shipowners to operate more efficiently while meeting evolving regulatory and environmental obligations with confidence.”
