First Dutch in Collaboration with Platform Zero Invests in UAB-Online

On Wednesday 18th of October 2023, First Dutch announced that in collaboration with Platform Zero it significantly invested in UAB-Online

UAB-Online believes that the shipping industry requires a fundamental shift towards standardisation and digitalisation of processes to significantly reduce inefficiencies, enhance safety measures, and combat greenhouse gas emissions effectively. It is this shared vision for a more sustainable and technologically advanced maritime sector that makes the partnership with First Dutch and Platform Zero such a natural fit. With this sizeable capital infusion, UAB-Online is adequately positioned to accelerate global expansion throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America. It continues advancing the product and scaling the organisation, reaffirming its position as a pioneering force in the digital transformation of maritime operations.

Founded in 2010, UAB-Online is a platform to optimise liquid bulk operations. It is dedicated to supporting safe, efficient, and sustainable inland and sea shipping worldwide. The UAB-Online solution is adaptable to the wishes of the specific user, which provides direct benefits in terms of efficiency and safety, and indirectly benefits the entire chain while also guaranteeing compliance with national and international laws and regulations. 

UAB-Online’s CEO Hans Bobeldijk expressed gratitude for the investments, stating, “We are excited to welcome First Dutch and Platform Zero as strategic partners in our journey. Their financial support, expertise, and extensive networks will play a pivotal role in our mission to drive digitalization and sustainability in the maritime industry. As we grow, we can build an ecosystem that helps our existing and future customers streamline their operations, which will contribute to achieving the maritime industry’s decarbonisation goals.”

Adds Mr. Bobeldijk: “What really excites us is the opportunity to work with a maritime energy leader like First Dutch, which opens a wider network of expertise to us as we innovate and improve. Likewise, we are thrilled to work alongside Platform Zero, with whom we share a dedication to addressing climate change. “

First Dutch is convinced that UAB-Online’s software will play a pivotal role in improving communications, streamlining processes, and reducing manual dependencies, thereby leading to safer, more efficient and more sustainable terminal operations. We’re proud to have united with Platform Zero to support the growth and influence of UAB-Online.
