Blue Ctrl contract: Frøy enters a major agreement for fleet digitisation
Shipowner Frøy ASA and Blue Ctrl AS have entered into an agreement to digitise Frøy's fleet. The collaboration will enhance efficiency, contribute to more environmentally friendly decisions, and lay a solid foundation for Frøy's future growth.
The Ålesund-based company, Blue Ctrl, will provide data capture and cloud services to Frøy's entire fleet, and their solution, BLUE BOX, will play a central role in collecting and analysing operational data on board in an automated and efficient manner.

"This provides valuable insights that will give decision-makers and crew members important tools to make informed decisions and operate the business in line with sustainable principles," says Kristian Reiten, CIO of Frøy.
"We are very excited about the collaboration with Blue Ctrl. This partnership represents an important step towards achieving our ambitious sustainability goals. By harnessing the potential of digitisation and data analysis, we will be able to reduce noise, optimise operations, and minimise our environmental impact. This is important for both employees on board and the planet as a whole."
