Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • EU ETS coverage reached 100% in 2026, expanding the compliance market immediately.
  • Searoutes' July 2026 BuyCo partnership embeds emissions at booking time.
  • June 2026 carrier disruption increased demand for ETA accuracy, route optimization, and audit-ready data.

What critics are saying

  • Searoutes depends on EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, and compliance-heavy emissions reporting demand.
  • Incumbents like carrier booking platforms can bundle carbon analytics and compress Searoutes pricing.
  • If maritime emissions regulation slows, Searoutes loses its strongest demand engine and relevance.

What makes Searoutes unique

  • Searoutes tracks about 70,000 active vessels in real time in 2026.
  • Its routing model evaluates over 100 million route combinations for freight decisions.
  • BuyCo, Shypple, and Michelin use Searoutes for embedded carbon data workflows.

Zebox, An Incubator For Supply Chain Startups, Launches Its Asia Hub In Singapore

ZEBOX, an international accelerator network founded by shipping conglomerate CMA CGM to introduce more tech innovation into the supply chain industry, announced today the launch of its APAC headquarters. Based in Singapore, ZEBOX Asia will also look at markets like Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.The APAC hub is backed by Enterprise Singapore, a board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry to foster SME development, and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, alongside industry partners Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore, PSA unboXed and Synergy Marine Group.Founded in 2018 by CMA CGM Group chairman and CEO Rodolphe Saadé, ZEBOX already has hubs in France, the United States, the United Kingdom, West Africa and the Caribbeans, which have collectively worked with 100 startups that have raised a total of $235 million in funding. It has 20 corporate partners that startups collaborate with while they are in ZEBOX’s incubator, including BNP Paribas, CEVA Logistics, Infosys, BNSG Railway, Port of Virginia and Centrime.ZEBOX CEO Gwen Salley told TechCrunch that along with access to mentoring, experts, business opportunities and funding, its incubator program gives startups opportunities to test their solutions and work with large corporations. For corporate partners, the advantage is working with startups that can address their specific business challenges and engage in de-risked proof of concepts.The incubator network picked Singapore for its newest hub because more than 4,000 regional headquarters and startups are based there and it has pro-business policies, an efficient regulatory framework, transparent legal and financial systems and strong digital infrastructure, Salley said. “Additionally, the city state’s strategic location at the crossroads of major shipping lines and air routes connects large parts of Asia to the rest of the world, making it a global logistics hub,” he added.Some examples of startups incubated by ZEBOX include Searoutes, which uses routing engines and predictive data to show shippers how much CO2 emissions they’re producing at key points in the procurement chain and Sublime Energie, a deeptech startup that focuses on biogas liquefaction tech and provides biogas collection services. Both of these took part in ZEBOX France.BasicBlock, which took part in ZEBOX America and has iraised more than $78 million in funding, automates invoices and develops financial products for the freight industry
