Founded in 1999, Helm Operations develops marine operations software for the workboat market. Acquired by ClassNK in 2014, the company released its Helm CONNECT platform in 2016.
“Since its launch, the Helm CONNECT platform has grown to support the management of vessel maintenance, regulatory compliance, operations and personnel, quickly becoming the leading marine software platform in North America and establishing Helm Operations as a global player in the marine industry,” the company said. “Today, Helm CONNECT is the fastest-growing software platform in the marine industry, growing to be used by 150 companies and 3,000 vessels worldwide in the 24 months since its launch.”
Helm Operations will maintain its own brand and independence with support and resources from Volaris. CEO Ron deBruyne, along with the existing management team, will continue to lead the business.
Helm Operations joins other technology companies SpecTec, ShipNet and Idea Yacht in Volaris’ marine vertical.
