Cetasol, a Swedish innovator in intelligent maritime solutions, has entered a strategic collaboration with Furuno Sweden. As part of the agreement, Furuno will act as a sales and installation partner for Cetasol’s iHelm solution, which will also be integrated into Furuno’s display systems.

The collaboration combines Furuno’s renowned navigation and communication technologies with Cetasol’s iHelm decision support solution, enabling operators to achieve greater fuel savings, efficiency, and sustainability. Through this partnership, iHelm will also be made available directly within Furuno displays, offering a seamless experience for captains and fleet managers alike.

iHelm for fuel savings and operational insights

Cetasol’s core solution is iHelm — a decision support solution for the entire fleet. iHelm helps save fuel, track vessel performance, stay compliant, and maximise uptime – with real-time decision support and data-driven insights.

The system continuously gathers data directly from the vessel, enabling real-time recommendations to the captain using Cetasol’s digital twin technology. All operational data is also transmitted to the cloud-based dashboard, giving fleet managers and business owners access to both real-time and historical performance metrics, AI-driven decision support and predictive maintenance capabilities.
