NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, Nautilus Labs, the technology firm advancing the efficiency of ocean commerce through artificial intelligence, announced that it will officially participate in the Eastern Pacific Accelerator Powered by Techstars. As part of this visionary maritime accelerator program—spearheaded by Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS)—Nautilus will establish a presence in Singapore to support clients and partners across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

“Singapore has been a strategic part of our growth plan since launching Nautilus. Not only is the city-state a global powerhouse in ship management but it serves as a key hub for many of our clients like Eastern Pacific Shipping. We’re thrilled to join both EPS and Techstars, the global gold standard in accelerator programs, as we create a more sustainable industry and help build a better planet,” said Matt Heider, CEO of Nautilus Labs.

Nautilus will be one of nine participating startups in this inaugural accelerator from Techstars. The firm is currently hiring for open client success roles in Singapore, as local points-of-contact for a growing client base in the region.

Gil Ofer, Head of Open Innovation at Eastern Pacific Shipping, stated, “The commercial shipping industry is entering a new era where harnessing onboard sensor data through artificial intelligence and machine learning will play a critical role in driving efficient, sustainable, and profitable vessel operations. We chose to partner with Nautilus Labs after conducting a successful pilot that not only resulted in immediate savings, but gave our in-house operations team an accurate view on vessel performance in real time and at the click of a button.”

Applications were open from April 8th to August 4th, and Eastern Pacific Accelerator Powered by Techstars officially launched today, November 20.

Ocean commerce consumes over $100 billion dollars of fuel every year, nearly a third of which is the result of needless overconsumption. For owner-operators, reliance on manually collected and analyzed data makes it difficult to optimize fleet performance in real time. By providing a unified data platform that leverages machine learning, Nautilus helps clients make better decisions by maximizing the return for every vessel and voyage–and drive closer collaboration, greater transparency, and stronger accountability across their full fleets and shoreside teams, in real time.
