Accelleron extends reach of LOREKA360° digital solutions in Korea with LAB021 tie-up
Press release | Busan, Korea | Oct 28, 2025
- Vessellink developer authorized to offer Accelleron digital solutions
- Partners to co-promote and improve integration across platforms
- Deal offers wider access to a key shipbuilder and ship owning market
Accelleron has signed an agreement with maritime software developer LAB021 to extend the reach of its digital solutions among Korean shipbuilders, owners and operators. Through this agreement, LAB021 can now further enhance operational efficiency for its customers – including more than 700 vessels already using its Vessellink ship management platform – by offering Accelleron LOREKA360° digital optimization solutions.
Under the agreement, Accelleron will also promote Vessellink to its worldwide base of digital solutions customers. The partners will cooperate to improve integration between their platforms, driving optimization opportunities for ship operators.
Korean shipyards build some of the most technically advanced vessels in the world, with an increasing focus on smart ships equipped with digital solutions. The country’s ship owners – operating a large fleet spanning ultra-large container ships to domestic ro-ro ferries – are also increasing their digital deployments, supported by innovative developers like LAB021.
LOREKA360° comprises several modules that represent a single platform for managing and optimizing vessel, fleet and voyage performance. Three modules are covered by the agreement: Tekomar XPERT Engine, which assesses engine performance and delivers related advisory. Emissions Desk supports operators in converting vessel data into compliance reporting and insights for further reductions. And OptiHull combines voyage and vessel data to optimize hull cleaning planning based on a ship’s route, hull condition and potential fuel savings.
Vessellink provides powerful and convenient software featuring marine-specific data and analysis functions required for the shipping industry. A 24-hour intelligent system monitors the safety and efficiency of the fleet and is optimized for environmental regulation response. Vessellink currently manages more than 700 ships onshore.
Accelleron Global Head of Sales and Operations, Digital Solutions, Shailesh Shirsekar, said:
“Working with LAB021, we can advance the integration of ship management and performance optimization solutions, and showcase the resulting efficiencies widely in one of the world’s key shipbuilding and ship owning countries. We look forward to a fruitful cooperation that will contribute to lower costs and emissions for our joint customers.”
LAB021 CEO Sang-Bong Lee, added:
“Accelleron’s complementary digital offer will add further value to Vessellink users, and users of LOREKA360° will find opportunities in integrating our state-of-the-art ship management system. We are excited to join Accelleron in working towards a more holistic, integrated approach to digitalization that allows ship operators to use each platform to its full advantage.”
