Full-fleet digitalisation

More than 80 vessels from Jifmar’s fleet are being integrated into a unified digital ecosystem. This initiative optimises fleet visibility, standardises technical information, and enhances the ability to prepare, assess, and deliver complex offshore projects with accuracy and speed.

It also illustrates how large operators can future-proof their operations in a sector where data-driven decision-making is becoming the new norm.

AI-assisted chartering and project preparation

By adopting AI-driven analysis and vessel-project matching, Jifmar gains faster commercial responsiveness and improved visibility on the suitability of its assets across global opportunities.

This structured, predictable way of preparing offers reflects a shift toward more agile and competitive chartering practices across the industry.

Integration of AI into internal processes

The partnership supports Jifmar’s transition toward enhanced automation and more efficient workflows across multiple departments. It demonstrates a pragmatic approach to AI adoption: targeted use cases, measurable impact, and a clear trajectory toward long-term operational resilience.

ZEBOX, an innovation accelerator behind the partnership

This collaboration was made possible through ZEBOX, the international innovation accelerator initiated by the CMA CGM Group. As a true innovation catalyst, ZEBOX’s mission is to enable co-innovation by connecting startups and corporates to tackle global challenges and accelerate industry transformation.

In this context, ZEBOX facilitated the connection between corporate partner Jifmar and ZEBOX Club member Seavium, paving the way for a partnership fully aligned with the sector’s ambitions for innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable impact.

By combining Jifmar’s operational expertise with Seavium’s digital and AI capabilities, this partnership marks a significant step forward for both organisations and signals how leading offshore players are preparing for a more data-driven, accountable, and performance-oriented future.

“This partnership with Jifmar marks a clear shift in the offshore industry. Digitalisation is no longer optional: AI and structured data are redefining how chartering and operations must be run. Jifmar is moving early and decisively, and we’re entering this new competitive era together. We’re ready to scale our impact across EMEA.”
— Adrien Barrau, CEO of Seavium

— Paul Berud, Head of Innovation of Jifmar Group
