A technology partnership with Denmark's leading maritime human factors consultancy, delivering digital tools that scale their expertise across the global shipping industry.
Combining deep maritime domain knowledge with modern software engineering to create tools that improve safety culture, leadership development, and operational performance across the global shipping industry.
Green Jakobsen is a Copenhagen-based maritime consultancy specialising in the human element of shipping - safety culture, leadership development, crew management, and maritime HR. Their expertise helps shipping companies worldwide build safer, more effective operations through better people management.
While their consulting methodology was well established and respected across the Nordic maritime industry, their tools and processes were primarily delivered through traditional engagement models. To scale their impact across the global shipping industry and reach more shipping companies, Green Jakobsen needed to digitise their consultancy tools and develop platforms that could support their methodology at scale.
MCD partnered with Green Jakobsen to provide dedicated development resource, embedding technical capability within their Copenhagen-based team. This model gave Green Jakobsen the software engineering expertise they needed without building a permanent in-house development team - a practical approach for a specialist consultancy whose core strength is maritime domain knowledge rather than technology.
Working closely with Green Jakobsen's consultants, MCD developers translated their maritime HR and safety expertise into digital tools. The embedded team approach meant our developers gained deep understanding of the maritime safety domain, while Green Jakobsen maintained full control over their product direction and consulting methodology.
The collaboration enabled Green Jakobsen to extend their reach beyond traditional consulting engagements. By digitising their maritime safety and HR tools, they could serve more shipping companies across the Nordic region and internationally, maintaining their high-touch consulting approach while using technology to scale their impact.
This engagement demonstrates MCD's ability to work with Nordic maritime organisations as an embedded technology partner. Rather than simply delivering a product and walking away, we integrated with Green Jakobsen's team to build solutions that genuinely reflected their deep domain expertise in maritime human factors - the kind of collaborative approach that Nordic businesses value.
The partnership also deepened MCD's maritime sector expertise, complementing our work with NorthStandard on training assessment and incident reporting, and positioning us as a trusted technology partner for the Nordic maritime industry.
Partner with us to create innovative software solutions tailored to your business needs.
