YUGEN·ZETTA

Software for maritime operations,
kept simple.

Yugen Zetta is a small software company from Mersin, with ties to Hong Kong. We started with the work we know: MarineOS, which lets owners and operators on voyage charter follow their demurrage from charter party to collection — with fleet, compliance and fuel records in the same system.


The name

Where our name comes from.

幽玄yūgen — noun

In Japanese, the depth you don't see at first glance. For us: truly understanding the detail of the work on the ground.

10²¹zetta — unit

The scale of data. For us: building systems that can start small and grow.

Understand the work first, then write the software.


How we work

Four simple principles.

— Ⅰ

We start from the field.

Product ideas come from shipowners' offices and the port, not from a desk. We listen first, then build.

— Ⅱ

Fewer things, done well.

Rather than trying to do everything, we do a few jobs properly: certificates, voyages, fuel and demurrage.

— Ⅲ

It has to be clear.

Plain screens your team can use without training, in their own language — and a move away from Excel that doesn't hurt.

— Ⅳ

A long-term relationship.

We shape the system together with our pilot customers. The goal isn't to sell and leave; it's to improve it with you.


Products

What we're working on.

Maritime · Demurrage

MarineOS

For owners and operators on voyage charter: the demurrage file, from CP to collection.

AI reads the charter party and the SOF; your operator checks and approves. Laytime is calculated to your CP terms, invoices and collections are tracked, and you're warned before the time bar runs out. Fleet, certificate and fuel records live in the same system.

Services

Data and systems consulting.

Alongside our products, we help businesses turn scattered spreadsheets and ad-hoc processes into systems that hold up. The work keeps us close to how things actually run.


Why us

A small team with the right connections.

From inside Mersin.

We know the Mersin maritime community closely, and we learn shipowners' day-to-day problems by talking with them.

Between Türkiye and Asia.

Years in China and a link to Hong Kong help us understand the trade and shipping ties between Türkiye and Asia.

Efficient with AI.

We are a small team. We use AI tools to speed up repetitive work, and keep the decisions with people.

Without rushing.

Every feature is grounded in a real user need. We would rather grow correctly than grow fast.
