Company Overview
NAPA is the world leading software house supplying solutions for ship design and operation with a mission to improve safety and eco-efficiency of the global maritime industry.
With a solid track record in setting new standards for 3D modeling of ships and ship performance analyses, NAPA’s philosophy is that true eco-efficiency starts with the build process and continues through the operational lifecycle of a vessel.
NAPA and NAPA for Operations (Onboard-NAPA) software are used by shipyards, owners, designers, classification societies, research institutes, authorities, consultancies and universities around the world. NAPA has nearly 400 user organizations for design application and nearly 2,000 installations onboard.
Headquartered in Finland, NAPA employs 170 people in the fields of naval architecture, shipping and information technology.
The NAPA Group has subsidiaries in Japan, Korea, India and Romania and representation offices in China, Singapore, the USA and Italy.With an extensive international network we can ensure worldwide support for our solutions.
In spring 2014, NAPA Group was acquired by one of the world's leading classification societies, ClassNK. The change in the ownership guarantees adequate resources for NAPA to develop its products and services to meet the needs and expectations of its customers even better than before. However, NAPA continues to operate independently, maintaining neutrality and full confidentiality when it comes to any customer specific information.
