About us

We make complex vessel systems simple to deliver, operate and maintain

Blue Ctrl is an independent provider of maritime automation solutions based in Ålesund, Norway. We build the platform system integrators use to deliver automation solutions on vessels worldwide. Shipowners rely on it to operate them. Built for the full lifetime of the vessel.

A platform born from real vessel experience.

Blue Ctrl was founded as a result of Ulstein Group's strategic decision to take ownership of its automation technology, rather than depend on third-party solutions. What started as project-based development evolved into a dedicated product company, based in Ålesund and built around one platform: X-CONNECT®.

What we believe

Independence protects everyone

We are technologically and commercially independent, and we build X‑CONNECT® so that our partners and customers remain so too. No hidden agendas, no forced upgrades, no single vendor holding the keys.

Simplicity is possible

Maritime automation does not have to mean fragmented systems, expensive specialists and vendor lock-in. We have built a platform that proves otherwise.

Built to last

Vessels operate for 20 to 30 years. We take responsibility beyond the delivery, and we are here when the pressure is on.
