The tech space in dry bulk is crowded, concedes Sebastian Sjöberg, the CEO and co-founder of Seaber, a predictive AI platform providing data-driven decision support for scheduling and chartering optimisation. It’s a point evidenced by the fact that more than a third of the 58 sponsors of this year’s Geneva Dry – including Seaber – come from the maritime tech space.
“Seaber differentiates itself by focusing on tangible ROI and quick, practical wins,” Sjöberg claims. The company offers a low-risk licensing structure, a four- to six-week go-live, and a focus on generating savings from day one.
“Owners and operators don’t just like to understand ROI—they demand it,” Sjöberg says with his company regularly showcasing real-world case studies where Seaber has cut costs, improved utilisation, and streamlined scheduling to drive measurable financial impact.
Geneva Dry is a unique space where tech meets commercial decision-makers
Geneva Dry delegates can see for themselves the solutions Seaber has to offer with the company exhibiting as well as sponsoring. For those interested in a demo on April 28 or April 29 during the show, simply click here.
“The dry bulk sector is increasingly demanding practical, results-driven solutions that seamlessly integrate into existing workflows,” Sjöberg says, adding: “Geneva Dry is a unique space where tech meets commercial decision-makers, and we’re eager to discuss the real pain points facing the industry.”
Geneva Dry made its debut last year with around 600 delegates with organisers forced to issue a ‘Sold Out’ sign prior to the event.
Working with the same hotel for the next edition, a new lay-out for the dry bulk showcase will allow for more delegates to attend later this month. Nevertheless, interested parties are urged to book today to ensure a pass as well as the discounted hotel rooms reserved across six hotels for attendees.
As well as familiar sessions such as iron ore, coal, agri-commodities, minor bulks and dry decarbonisation, Geneva Dry 2025 features some new panels including a 50-minute special of forward freight agreements, a chartering spotlight, while digital efficiency drivers at port and then at sea will form the first two sessions on Day Two. Another highlight based on how much discussion there was on the topic at this year’s event will be a high-level discussion on electric vehicles and how they are supercharging dry bulk.
