Our story
Grieg Connect was born out of a merger in 2018 of Norwegian technology start-up Shiplog AS, the software company Seamless AS with 25-year port management experience, and CTS who has 15-years experience in the terminal operating space.
Shiplog was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Vidar Fagerheim and communications engineer Erling Fagerlie. They spotted a gap in the market for delivering and processing automated marine-traffic information, using intelligent software and services. The company was acquired by Grieg Logistics in 2017 and folded into Seamless & CTS and thereby creating Grieg Connect.
Fagerheim and Fagerlie are just two of many creative minds populating Norway’s dynamic maritime cluster who are delivering novel solutions.
Growing Grieg Connect into a recognized maritime technology brand is pretty good for two young guys from the small fishing town of Kristiansund. They continue to inspire the team in expanding and refining our portfolio.
Having Grieg Logistics as a long term and supportive owner makes us a safe choice as your preferred technology partner. We will continue to create innovative and user-friendly solutions together with the people who use them.
