The short version

  • Each has a real cost: NAPA Fleet Intelligence model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.; Shone shone Automation was acquired by Bedrock Ocean Exploration in April 2022 and the product is no longer sold under the Shone name
  • They diverge on capability: NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model, Shone covers Autonomous navigation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • Model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • Pricing is per vessel and unpublished, and modular scoping means the quote you compare against a competitor may not cover the same functions.
  • Building the vessel-specific performance model requires hull form and design data that owners of older or second-hand tonnage often do not have, which turns onboarding into a data hunt.
  • It is a monitoring and advisory layer, not a system of record; you still run a separate planned maintenance system, a chartering system and a crewing system.
  • NAPA is strongest in the design and stability world, and its operational reference base, while real, is smaller than the pure voyage-optimisation specialists, so integration breadth with commercial shipping software is narrower.

Shone

  • Shone Automation was acquired by Bedrock Ocean Exploration in April 2022 and the product is no longer sold under the Shone name

Questions people ask

Is NAPA Fleet Intelligence or Shone better?
Neither clearly leads. NAPA Fleet Intelligence starts at On request and Shone at $3000/month, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, NAPA Fleet Intelligence or Shone?
NAPA Fleet Intelligence starts at On request and Shone at $3000/month.
Does NAPA Fleet Intelligence or Shone run on more platforms?
NAPA Fleet Intelligence runs on Web, Cloud. Shone runs on Maritime vessels.
What is NAPA Fleet Intelligence best used for?
NAPA Fleet Intelligence is most often used for a charterer assessing hull performance of vessels it does not own using ais data alone, an owner needing auditable cii and eu ets numbers rather than spreadsheet estimates, a technical manager deciding whether hull cleaning this quarter pays for itself in fuel, a fleet arguing a charter party speed and consumption claim and needing model-backed evidence. Of those, a charterer assessing hull performance of vessels it does not own using ais data alone and an owner needing auditable cii and eu ets numbers rather than spreadsheet estimates are not what Shone is typically brought in for.
What can NAPA Fleet Intelligence do that Shone cannot?
NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model, AIS-based analysis, Voyage optimisation, Emissions reporting. Shone covers Autonomous navigation, Collision avoidance, Sensor fusion, Decision support.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Do we need onboard sensors?

No. NAPA can produce performance analysis from AIS and noon reports using its hydrodynamic model, though instrumented data improves accuracy.

Shone: What does Shone's autonomous technology do?

Shone retrofits ships with autonomous technologies to improve safety, security and crew quality of life. The system provides assistance through situational awareness and course recommendations, which reduces watchkeeper fatigue and helps prevent accidents.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Does it handle EU ETS and CII?

Yes, emissions calculation and regulatory reporting for EU MRV, IMO DCS, CII and EU ETS are covered.

Shone: How does Shone detect surrounding vessels?

Shone's proprietary detection algorithm is based on data gathered from ship sensors including AIS, radar and GPS, with additional cameras installed on board for computer vision capabilities.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is it the same NAPA used for ship design?

Yes, same company, and Fleet Intelligence reuses the hydrodynamic modelling from that business.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is pricing published?

No. It is licensed per vessel by module, quoted per fleet.
