Volteo Maritime

Volteo Maritime is a maritime software company headquartered in Singapore, with team members in Singapore and India. Its product, Wayship, is a collaborative workspace for vessel operations management designed to help ship-shore teams reach operational decisions faster, reduce non-compliance and cut crew hours spent on administrative record-keeping, freeing time for navigation and preventive maintenance.

The platform combines electronic logbooks, checklists, noon reporting and permit-to-work systems into a single digital suite. Customers may adopt individual tools or the full package. Once records are digitized onboard, the data is shared with shore-based teams; the company states this reduces administrative burden by up to 30 percent for both vessel and office staff. Volteo Maritime is categorized as a software-as-a-service provider in the smart shipping thematic area.

Founding story

Co-founder Surendra Lingareddy, a software engineer by training, encountered the maritime sector in 2016 at a maritime event in Visakhapatnam, where he observed the record-keeping and data-archiving difficulties facing seafarers. In 2017 the Andhra Pradesh government backed his team's vision, beginning as a consulting engagement for the government that developed into the creation of Volteo Maritime. By 2020 Lingareddy had studied vessel workflows in depth, finding that technologically advanced ships still relied largely on paper logs and Excel spreadsheets; after encountering the same complaints repeatedly across the industry, the team set out to build a digital alternative.

Business model

The company sells a modular digital suite for vessel operations; customers can select individual tools — electronic logbooks, checklists, noon reporting, permit-to-work — or adopt the full package. It is categorized as a software-as-a-service provider.

Traction

The company reports that digitizing vessel records and sharing them with shore teams reduces administrative burden by up to 30 percent for both ship and office staff. It secured Eastern Pacific Shipping, described as one of the world's leading shipowners, as both an investor and a customer.
