Metizoft

The company's business model is centered on providing software-as-a-service (SaaS) and consulting for environmental and regulatory challenges. Metizoft serves a diverse client base that includes shipyards, shipowners, and equipment suppliers. Its revenue model combines software subscriptions and service fees, achieving a turnover of approximately 70 million NOK in 2022 with significant recurring revenue growth. In 2023, Metizoft secured a substantial investment from technology investor Dovetail and climate investor Nysnø to accelerate growth, while the founder retained majority ownership.

Metizoft’s core offerings address critical compliance needs throughout a vessel's lifecycle. A primary service is the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM), also known as Green Passport solutions, which helps ships document and manage hazardous substances like asbestos from construction through recycling. This service is crucial for compliance with regulations such as the Hong Kong Convention. The company also provides a Chemical Management System, a digital tool that allows crews to access safety data sheets, manage inventory, and log chemical exposures, thereby enhancing onboard safety. Building on its expertise in hazardous materials, Metizoft has expanded its portfolio to include a comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting tool tailored for maritime businesses, as well as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) solutions to help clients measure their environmental impact.
