Predictive Maintenance · Real-time Analytics
Fincantieri wanted to extend value beyond ship delivery by keeping vessels connected, improving operations over their long service lives, and using vessel data to support fuel efficiency, maintenance, and new digital services.
Reported impact
The first Navis Sapiens vessel entered service in February 2026. The platform is estimated to improve cost of ownership by about 15%, save up to 5% in fuel, and enable real-time monitoring of core systems.
Fincantieri and Accenture launched Navis Sapiens, an open-architecture AI-powered smart-ship platform, with the Fincantieri Ingenium joint venture providing the operating model for a continuing digital maritime business. The platform connects onboard systems, applications, and ecosystem partners so operational information can generate insights and services after a vessel enters service. It monitors energy use, recommends course adjustments using maritime conditions, flags maintenance anomalies before failures, and detects cyber threats such as falsified GPS data. Captains, engineers, and crews use a connected operational view to act on those insights, while specialists use voyage data to inform new services and future ship designs. The source does not identify underlying cloud, storage, or model products.
Onboard systems and applications generate operational data that Navis Sapiens connects and analyzes; insights are presented to vessel crews for decisions and used by specialists to shape services and future ship designs.
"Navis Sapiens can monitor energy consumption in real time, recommend course adjustments based on maritime conditions, flag maintenance anomalies before they become failures, and detect cyber threats such as falsified GPS data."
