WiseStella stands out in the global maritime industry with its digital solutions

While digitalization is becoming more and more important in the maritime industry, the way to stay one step ahead of the competition is to adapt to technological developments. We talked to Ferhat Abul, Managing Director of WiseStella, which offers consultancy and training services along with digital solutions in the field of HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality), about their innovative approach that makes a difference.

Ferhat Abul, Managing Director of WiseStella, an innovative solution partner that equips the maritime industry for the future, said that they contribute to the rapid and continuous transformation in the maritime industry by facilitating the adaptation process to new regulations and requirements thanks to their expertise. Stating that they offer digital tools to the use of the sector in parallel with technological developments, Abul said, "As a company, we support digital solutions in the maritime sector, especially in the field of HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality), with our training and consultancy services. The digital solutions we have developed with our own software team include digital reporting and trend analysis in areas such as SIRE 2.0, Human Factor Self Assessment (HFSA), Behavioral Competency Assessment (BCA) and Crew Wellbeing Index, which are extremely important for ship operating companies. Thanks to the global experience and sectoral expertise of our founding team, we support different types of ship operating companies with smart digital solutions by addressing the needs from many angles and offer 360-degree solutions."

Solution through remote connection

Speaking about the regions and ports they serve internationally, Abul said, "Within the scope of our consultancy and training services, we can easily provide services to companies in any country in the world and manage processes through remote connections. In addition, we can successfully carry out our onboard assessments and inspections with our qualified inspector/assessor/auditor team regardless of location."

We create digital tools with our own team

Evaluating the advantages offered by the company to the industry, Abul said, "We are one of the rare companies that create digital tools with its own team. Thanks to our team that has proven itself internationally in terms of academic competence, the ability to respond to the needs of the maritime industry and the ability to produce software, we can say that the fact that we can produce the fastest and highest quality solutions by addressing the solutions needed by a ship management company from different angles is one of the features that make WiseStella different in the market. We are aiming for a digital platform that will make a big difference in the sector, offering solutions with Artificial Intelligence and going beyond analysis to ensure that our customers are one step ahead of the competition."

A team with all international certifications

Providing information about the certificates they hold and the partners they cooperate with in the international arena, Abul said, "We have qualified marine assessors and auditors who are certified in accordance with the relevant international standards, especially for onboard assessments and audits. In addition, our founding team's connections with the University of Strathclyde/UK, BeeBi Consulting/GER and FG Maritime/TUR show the diversity of our communication network, as well as the fact that the solutions we produce are handled by considering every detail in both academic and practical aspects."

24/7 support

Explaining his company's approach to customer satisfaction, Abul said, "We have a structure that is accessible and able to provide support services every day and every hour of the week in every subject including the consultancy services and digital solutions we offer. Our employees, who lead both our software and consultancy teams, are in constant communication with our customers with the awareness and experience of the uninterrupted flow of the maritime sector. In particular, since we do the R&D and software for the digital solutions we offer with our own team, the speed at which we respond to feedback from our customers is much higher than what is customary in the sector. We can say that this is just one of the building blocks that constitute our strength in after-sales services."

Digital solutions are complemented with consultancy and training

Drawing attention to the importance of digitalization in the maritime industry, Abul said, "As WiseStella, we are differentiated by the consultancy and training services we provide on the subjects we are experts in as well as digitalization. We are currently excited to work with Türkiye's leading maritime companies. It is even more exciting to see that our initiatives to carry this excitement to the international arena are yielding positive results."
