# Coach Solutions

> Voyage optimization software for maritime operators. Simple, reliable tools trusted by operators and advisors, backed by Kongsberg Maritime.

## Company Overview

Coach Solutions is a maritime software company providing voyage optimization tools for tramp shipping. Part of Kongsberg Maritime. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.

**Positioning:** "Simple and reliable", tools that work the way shipping people think, without the complexity of enterprise platforms.

**Target users:**
- Ship operators (daily voyage management, CP compliance)
- Vessel owners and technical managers (vessel performance, maintenance prioritization, CII)
- Pool managers and commercial advisors (fleet benchmarking, chartering decisions)

## Products

Coach offers three integrated products that build on each other. The dependency is the point: a route is only as reliable as the vessel model behind it, and the model is only as reliable as the validated data feeding it.

### 1. Coach Data
The foundation layer for collecting and validating vessel data.
- Noon report collection validated by 120 automated checks plus analyst review before submission
- Sensor data integration from onboard systems
- Emissions reporting built in: EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, IMO DCS, UK MRV, EU MRV, with auto-sync to DNV, ClassNK and ABS
- Available standalone as an entry point, and always bundled with Performance and Routing

### 2. Coach Performance
Vessel performance analysis built on validated data, reviewed monthly with your performance manager.
- Vessel-specific speed and consumption models built from each ship's real data, not generic curves
- Hull and propeller fouling flagged within 2 to 3 days of sailing
- Charter party (CP) compliance monitoring and voyage assessments that hold up in disputes
- Fleet benchmarking normalized for weather, loading and route

### 3. Coach Routing
Weather-optimized voyage routing using your vessel's actual performance, not a generic model.
- Multi-leg routing that optimizes each leg against the real vessel curve
- Balances fuel cost, charter terms, CII and FuelEU impact per voyage leg
- Continuous re-routing as conditions change, plus a Weather Viewer link the captain opens without logging in
- A 24/7 voyage advisor desk of ex-sailors and meteorologists you can call when the weather breaks

## Differentiators

- **Reachable human experts**, not a ticket queue. Answers within hours, a 24/7 advisor desk, a performance manager in the monthly meeting. Coach acts as your external performance and technical department.
- **Validated data you can defend** when a verifier pushes back months after submission.
- **Simple and fast.** Productive in weeks, no full-time analyst required, no new sensors.
- **Integrated.** Data feeds the performance model, which feeds the routing.

## Proof

- Hull-fouling advisory saves around 160 mT of VLSFO per vessel per year once fouling is caught and the hull cleaned; one operator's fleet saved 1,447 mT of VLSFO with 4,507 mT of CO2 avoided in a year, on a conservative basis (anonymized customer ROI reports).
- Around 145 hours of crew and shore time saved per vessel per year, and about $41,500 a year in EU emissions statements avoided at the class-society rate (215 USD per voyage).
- A documented fuel saving in every customer ROI report reviewed.
- Trusted by Hafnia, Swire, Hartmann and Fednav, among others.
