Product development in SaaS often follows a familiar recipe: build and release fast, respond to customer requests – rinse and repeat. At Klaveness Digital, that approach is taking a different direction. As a company firmly rooted in shipping, the product team is challenging both themselves and the industry to think beyond the obvious. 

As shipping faces growing climate regulation, much of the responsibility has been placed on shipowners to cut emissions. But where does that leave cargo owners? Our MD, Ingrid Kylstad, guests on a podcast with Klaveness Combination Carriers to dive into the cargo owner’s evolving role when it comes to decarbonizing shipping.

In shipping, where operational priorities shift quickly and data often grows faster than teams can act on it, having a good idea is only the beginning. What happens next, and how that idea is evaluated, shaped, and tested, often determines whether it becomes something meaningful.

If you work in tech and you're looking for your next challenge, it might be time to look beyond the usual suspects. The shipping industry—responsible for moving some 90% of the world’s goods—is undergoing a massive digital transformation. The problems it faces aren’t just your everyday tech challenges; they’re global, high-impact, and deeply rewarding to solve.

Digitalization may have gained ground in shipping — including dry bulk — but as long as spreadsheets, emails, and manual processes continue to dominate daily workflows, there’s a long way to go. For developers like Tony Elmquist, that’s exactly what makes it interesting!

Digitalization is picking up speed in shipping, but in dry bulk — where spreadsheets, PDFs, and emails still dominate much of the workflow — there’s still a long way to go. For developers stepping in from tech-focused environments, it can feel like entering a different world.
