OSM Thome Celebrates 15 Years of Digital Development and Expands Vision for Decarbonization and Operational Intelligence

Thursday, 28 August 2025 | 00:00

OSM Thome, one of the world’s most forward-thinking ship management companies, proudly marks milestone years of sustained digital transformation – a journey that has reshaped how maritime operations are monitored, optimized, and decarbonized.

This progress is built since 2010 with deployment of NAU™ fleet performance, developed in partnership with Orion Marine, and years of trusted partnership with leading class society DNV and integration with their platform Veracity.

The solution provides seamless emissions reporting for an increasingly complex regulatory compliance landscape.

OSM Thome embedded data-led thinking into its core operations long before digitization became an industry imperative. This approach has empowered the organization to lead in areas such as emissions tracking, fuel performance, technical reliability, and voyage efficiency, setting new benchmarks for what sustainable ship management looks like.

Evigo is OSM Thome’s dedicated unit for performance management and emissions reduction. The competent teams in Evigo works closely with software developers at Orion to continuously improve the NAU solution. The teams recently achieved a significant milestone in finalizing the “Trim Optimization module”, a major step towards fuel and emission reduction for the OSM Thome fleet.

In parallel, following the beta release of the NAU Ai bot for Digital SMS (on the ERP version), Orion are actively working on the NAU Ai bot to extend similar capabilities to the fleet performance module on cloud as well the Mobile APP.

Powering the Decarbonization Era

With maritime decarbonization accelerating globally, OSM Thome’s digital infrastructure is a critical pillar in its long-term environmental strategy. The company leverages real-time data from its vessels to:

• Optimize fuel consumption and reduce CO₂ emissions through predictive performance tracking

• Continuously monitor trim and hull efficiency, improving energy output per nautical mile and optimizing hull cleaning and propeller polishing schedules

• Enhance engine and auxiliary performance through technical analytics and early anomaly detection

• Automate compliance via its long-standing integration with Veracity by DNV, supporting IMO DCS and CII, as well as EU MRV, EU ETS and Fuel EU requirements

These digital capabilities are not only reducing operational risk and environmental footprint, but also driving business value through smarter maintenance, faster decision-making, and transparent reporting.

Mrs. Pia Meling, Managing Director, on Evigo and the Decade Ahead

“We recognized very early that effectively managing ships would demand more than operational competence. Fuel optimization has made sense economically for a long time but becomes an imperative with the increasingly stringent environmental regulations from IMO and the EU.

As a large player in the maritime industry, we see it as our responsibility to make a positive difference where we can, by reducing the CO2 footprint of the vessels we manage. With some 400 vessels under full technical management, we make an impact by consolidating and visualizing performance data across the fleet and by sharing best practice, insights and tailored energy efficiency measures with our customers.

For more than a decade, we have built systems that enables data-driven decisions. Through our long-standing use of NAU and our years of collaboration with DNV and Veracity, we have created a digital backbone that delivers real-time insight, compliance and environmental accountability.

Now, as we scale our vision under Evigo, our focus is clear: decarbonize efficiently, digitize relentlessly, and drive operational excellence across every touchpoint in our fleet. The next decade is not about catching up — it’s about leading responsibly.”

Mikkel Skou, Executive Director Veracity by DNV:

“In Veracity we are set out to deliver trust and connectivity to the maritime industry and we are proud to partner with Orion Marine Concepts as a lead in delivering on this ambition. Through the integration between Orion Marine Concepts’ NAU and our Veracity data platform, we can offer companies like OSM Thome a seamless digital experience for emissions verification in DNV’s Emissions Connect service.”

Next-Generation Ship Management, Now

Under the Evigo leadership, OSM Thome is expanding the scope of its digital platform to support:

• CII compliance and benchmarking across vessel classes

• Advanced emissions forecasting based on historical performance and voyage conditions

• Dynamic routing and trim advisory systems for real-time optimization

• Integrated dashboards connecting shoreside teams with onboard crews in a seamless performance loop

This new chapter builds on years of digital maturity — preparing OSM Thome to meet upcoming IMO GHG strategy targets, stricter EU ETS and Fuel EU requirements, and growing stakeholder expectations around transparency, sustainability, and safety.
