35 Years of Maritime Software and Data Services Excellence
Connecting ship design, safety, and operational efficiency with world-leading technology and expertise.
From shipyard to sea
Finland to global maritime frontlines
Born in Finland in 1989, NAPA grew from a pioneering naval architecture platform into a global maritime force. Today, with offices in 10 countries and 220 experts onboard, we serve the world’s leading yards, fleets, and regulators—delivering data-powered solutions trusted across oceans.
Legacy built on shipbuilding
Over 90% of the world’s annual newbuilding volume is built by NAPA customers. Our legacy in design software isn’t just deep—it’s dominant. That foundation continues to drive innovation across early-stage design, model-based approval, and class society collaboration.
Enabling operational safety & efficiency at sea
Our ship operations solutions that turn data into decisions for ship safety and voyage optimization. These tools bring accuracy, automation, and insight to thousands users and hundreds of vessels worldwide—empowering crews and shoreside teams alike, every day.
Innovating to support industry ambitions
From energy transition, tightening environmental regulations, supply chain disruptions and cybersecurity, we fosters cross-industry partnerships and projects to deliver new insights and solutions in addressing some of the maritime industry’s most critical challenges and uncertainties.
At NAPA, we see software and data not just as tools, but as enablers of better decisions, safer voyages, and a more sustainable maritime future. Our technology and expertise support the full lifecycle of ships—from early-stage design to real-time operations at sea. That means helping shipyards adopt smarter, integrated design processes; giving crews safety and efficiency insights they can trust; and enabling shipping companies to make confident, data-driven decisions on fleet operations, fuel, emissions, and compliance.
As the maritime industry enters a new era of complexity, with new fuels, technologies, and sustainability expectations, our role is to bridge the maritime operations, from shipyard to sea. We bring clarity and efficiency to complex operations and turn it into opportunity. That’s what drives us, and what NAPA will continue to deliver.
