LONDON, UK, May 6, 2025 – Compute Maritime Ltd. (CML) has announced a collaboration with Fram Marine AS, a Norwegian firm inspired by the historic Fram expedition vessel’s pioneering legacy. Fram Marine specializes in maritime design and project management for the marine, energy, and renewable energy sectors, blending technical and operational expertise for project delivery and implementation.
This partnership brings together two complementary forces in the maritime industry. Compute Maritime’s flagship tool, NeuralShipper, leverages generative AI to create and evaluate vessel design concepts optimized for next-generation propulsion technologies – like air lubrication systems and wind-assisted propulsion – and alternative fuels like LNG, methanol, and ammonia. Fram Marine applies its knowledge of design feasibility studies and project execution to develop designs that meet the needs of modern maritime operations.
Junaid Awan, CTO of Compute Maritime said, “Our collaboration with Fram Marine is a natural progression in our commitment to delivering end-to-end design tools. By combining our AI-driven concept generation with Fram Marine’s scientific expertise and project management expertise, we are uniquely positioned to offer our clients a seamless transition from innovative ideas to robust, executable vessel designs.”
This collaboration brings together Compute Maritime’s data-driven design capabilities and Fram Marine’s engineering expertise to address the evolving needs of the maritime industry. The partnership is expected to support the development of practical and efficient vessel design solutions, with future projects demonstrating the combined strengths of both teams. Clients can expect reliable solutions backed by technology and experience.
Ane Viaene Engebretsen, CEO of Fram Marine commented, “Partnering with Compute Maritime reinforces our vision of integrating advanced technology with proven engineering expertise. Together, we will enhance the entire design lifecycle – reducing lead times, increasing accuracy, reducing emissions, and ultimately delivering greater value to the industry.”
As a client partner, Fram Marine will support the transition from concept to detailed design, ensuring that final solutions are future-ready and compliant with classification standards.
About Compute Maritime
Compute Maritime Ltd, founded in July 2024 and based in Guildford, England, is a technology company focused on advancing maritime sustainability through data-driven solutions. The company offers generative AI and quantum computing tools tailored for the shipbuilding and marine engineering sectors. Its flagship product, NeuralShipper, is the world’s first generative AI platform designed for the simulation, optimization, and design of maritime systems such as hulls, propellers, hydrofoils, and energy-saving devices. Trained on a dataset of over 100,000 vessel designs, NeuralShipper helps naval architects develop innovative, fuel-efficient vessels that support net-zero targets and regulatory compliance. Whether reworking ship structures or adapting designs for alternative fuels, the platform enables faster and more efficient design cycles. Compute Maritime primarily serves the sustainable maritime transport industry, aiming to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. One key initiative includes the integration of NeuralShipper with Siemens’ Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to enhance computational fluid dynamics capabilities for marine design analysis.
