Tilla was established in Berlin in 2021 to enhance the efficiency of crew changes in the shipping industry. Crewing remains one of the least digitised areas of work in shipping, yet it accounts for a significant portion of operational costs. Tilla has created a user-friendly and powerful platform to support optimal crew change decisions and automate workflows through real-time data and integrations. Tilla reduces crew change costs and boosts crewing team productivity while giving companies greater control over the entire crew change process, from planning to insights.

About Us

Founded in 2021 by Niklas Weidmann and Narayan Venkatesh, Tilla is based in Berlin with a team working from the city and remotely around the world. We’re spread across 6 time zones and represent 10 different nationalities. Our global, diverse team reflects the industry we’re working to improve—interconnected and truly international. We’re supported by advisors from the maritime industry, experienced investors, and founders who’ve built successful companies before.

Transforming the Industry

Crew changes are complicated. They’re stressful, require coordination between dozens of people, and have a direct impact on the 2 million seafarers who keep the shipping industry moving. Getting a crew change right matters—not just operationally, but for the people involved.

We saw the challenges facing crewing operations today and recognized an opportunity to make things better through technology. Our mission is straightforward: we want to be the digital backbone supporting the people who drive the shipping industry. We’re building an end-to-end crew change management platform that helps crewing teams work more efficiently, make better decisions, reduce costs, and improve life for seafarers.
