Digitalisation is no longer a buzzword. It is shaping the future of shipping in ways that are both practical and profound. At Venture Marine Services, we see technology not just as an upgrade, but as a shared journey with clients, classification societies, and shipowners. Together, we explore how data, systems, and automation can make shipping more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.

As a daughter company of Wah Kwong, we are proud to carry forward a legacy of maritime excellence, now with a strong focus on digital transformation. In close collaboration with our parent company and Bureau Veritas, we helped secure BV’s first-ever global smart notation. The certification, awarded to one of Wah Kwong’s vessels, recognises advanced onboard digital capabilities and sets a new benchmark for smart shipping.

This milestone is about more than technology. It represents alignment between owner, class, and operator. It shows what’s possible when all parties invest in smarter workflows, better transparency, and shared ambition. For us at VMS, it also demonstrates our role in translating innovation into real-world shipping operations.

Smart notations, digital twins, remote monitoring, and advanced reporting. These are not future concepts. They are available now. But applying them in ways that add value, streamline operations, and improve decision-making takes experience and trust. That’s where we come in.

This project with Bureau Veritas and Wah Kwong is a steppingstone. One that points to a future of smarter fleets and closer partnerships. One where innovation is not just adopted, but truly applied.
