Maritime compliance platform automating EU emissions regulations
OceanScore builds compliance software for shipping companies navigating EU ETS and FuelEU regulations. The tech stack (Python, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, Spark on Databricks) reveals a data-science-heavy operation focused on forecasting and emissions modeling rather than traditional SaaS infrastructure. Hiring is sales-driven (4 sales roles) with a concentration of manager-level positions, suggesting a push to scale customer acquisition and onboarding — a pattern confirmed by active projects around northern European market expansion and customer activation.
OceanScore is a maritime sustainability software company founded in 2020 with 40+ employees across Germany, Portugal, and other countries. The platform automates emissions compliance for shipping operators, handling EU ETS invoicing, FuelEU surplus trading, and year-round regulatory forecasting. The company also administers the Environmental Ship Index, a port incentive scheme covering 6,800+ vessels and 100+ ports globally. Core products include the Compliance Manager (integrated EU ETS and FuelEU tracking), FuelEU Marketplace (surplus pooling), and OPX (a transparent market reference for compliance surpluses).
Python, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch, SQL, Apache Spark, and Databricks. The emphasis on machine learning libraries and distributed data processing indicates heavy modeling work around vessel forecasting and emissions analysis.
Northern European market expansion, vessel activity forecasting models, emissions exposure modeling, customer activation, regulatory scenario analysis, and transitioning to a new ESI core framework. Key challenges include acquiring maritime customers and improving data quality consistency.
