If a tanker consistently underperforms, the data is visible. This transparency forces operational excellence.
The group now operates over 160 vessels, including crude oil tankers, dry bulkers, container ships, and offshore wind vessels.
Traditional VLCCs were built for the 2000s boom: speed over efficiency. The Compass uses a (a MAN B&W design) paired with a large-diameter, fixed-pitch propeller optimized for slow steaming (12–13 knots rather than 15–16). Euronav Compass
Operating large crude carriers requires strict adherence to international maritime law. The platform acts as a digital compliance gatekeeper, ensuring all active personnel meet regulatory frameworks before setting foot on a vessel.
Think of it as a hybrid between a Bloomberg terminal for shipping and a live operations dashboard. It provides stakeholders with: If a tanker consistently underperforms, the data is visible

Another notable mention is the , a Horizon Europe-funded initiative that was officially launched on November 1, 2025. Coordinated by France Energies Marines, COMPASS brings together 14 partners from 8 European countries to develop a digital decision-support platform for enhancing the sustainability of offshore wind farm design. Traditional VLCCs were built for the 2000s boom:
The Compass stores five years of operational data for every Euronav vessel. This allows charterers to audit a ship’s:
The system reduces pilot or captain workload by providing intuitive, automated planning tools, reducing the likelihood of human error.
