A checkable record of what happened — from anywhere on the vessel.
ConnectPoint links image, video, and voice to source, time, and location context, then cryptographically seals the record for later verification. We do not ask people to believe. We give them a record they can know.

EVIDENCE FOUNDATIONS
Three pillars of a checkable record.
Why it exists
Remote inspection is moving online. Critical maritime decisions still depend on who captured what, where, and when. Without reliable provenance, remote observation remains hearsay.
Evidence architecture
Provenance, trusted hardware timestamps, and digital-evidence handling — built from the ground up to withstand class surveyor audits and arbitration review months later.
Hardware-independent
Open integration. Shipowners choose the devices — cameras, drones, tank rovers, and wearable sensors connect seamlessly through the ConnectPoint Open API.
Two people used to be enough. Not any more.
Media linked to its source, time, and location — with cryptographic checks that reveal later modifications. Do not ask people to believe. Give them a record they can know.
The Black Book: Whoever has something to show wins.
In boardrooms and maritime arbitration chambers, a chairman’s worn black notebook beat human memory every single time. When disagreement arises months after an incident, memory bends to incentive. The lesson is permanent: make the record checkable from day zero.
The Ladder (Deepsea Trym): One voice on a phone is not enough.
Millions in downtime, hull repairs, and corporate liability once turned on what one engineer stood looking at in the North Sea while describing it over an analogue telephone. The people who held the authority could not see what he saw. Live shared view plus a tamper-evident record changes the entire trajectory of the call.
“Everything can be manipulated. Make manipulation harder than the value of the lie.”
That is Proof of Evidence. That is ConnectPoint.
COMMERCIAL VALUE & READINESS
The shipowner already pays for inspection. Readiness removes waiting.
A drone flown in a tank instead of staging expensive scaffolding. Expert vendor support without flying specialists across oceans. Zero days wasted waiting before class surveyors and technical managers ashore can agree on the call.
Indicative annual subscription per vessel. The tamper-evident evidence layer is the primary software service.
At an illustrative offshore rig rate of USD $600,000/day. Avoiding 30 minutes of indecision covers the entire annual investment.
Damage & Claims
Insurance, liability, bunkering, loading, repairs, warranty, and job acceptance verified on the spot with zero ambiguity.
Supplier Support
Engine and equipment specialists join remotely while ship crew and superintendents ashore see and hear the same job in real time.
Two-Way Voice
Low-latency live conversation between bridge, engine room, and headquarters over bonded satellite uplinks (Starlink / VSAT).
Up to 65 Languages
Instant live speech-to-speech translation and timestamped multi-lingual transcripts across international crews.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
Built by people who know what failure costs.
John Gunnar Haugenes
Founder & CEO · ConnectPoint
Maritime technical education. 10 years offshore in the North Sea. 20+ years building industrial IoT.
John Gunnar spent a decade on North Sea decks and engine rooms facing critical operational decisions with nothing more than an audio telephone. He subsequently founded, scaled, and successfully exited multiple IoT and telemetry companies across mission-critical healthcare, maritime, and public safety sectors.
PROVEN TRACK RECORD
Try, fail, understand — foundational telecom and field engineering knowledge that stays for decades.
Personal safety alarms in continuous 24/7 service since 2009 for Norwegian municipalities; successfully exited to Sensio.
Industrial & healthcare BLE mesh IoT systems deployed across demanding industrial campuses; merged into Sensio.
ATEX-certified industrial beacons engineered, certified, and supplied directly to Kongsberg Maritime.
WHO PAYS · WHO OPENS THE DOOR
Shipowners pay. Classification societies and insurers set the standard.
ConnectPoint does not replace the class surveyor or insurer — it provides every stakeholder with the exact same tamper-evident live view and sealed record.
Commercial Shipping
Bulk carriers, container vessels, and tankers reducing costly surveyor port delays and demurrage penalties.
Oil & Gas Offshore
Rigs, platforms, and FPSOs where 30 minutes of waiting equals over $12,500 in critical downtime.
Ports & Terminals
Quayside cranes, cargo damage verification, and rapid dispute resolution across terminal operators.
Offshore Wind
Remote turbine blade inspections, nacelle maintenance, and offshore technician support at sea.
Certification Initiated
System confirmation active with a major society classing ~10,000 vessels worldwide.
Active Society Dialogues
Two additional class societies in non-binding dialogue (combined ~35,000 vessels).
Installed Offshore Base
Total worldwide wind turbines and commercial vessels representing our addressable footprint.
