Minimise risk exposure and fix with confidence
Make faster, safer, and more profitable decisions at every stage of the shipping lifecycle.
Shipping moves fast. Your intelligence should too
The shipping industry is a web of interdependent relationships – owners chartering vessels to traders, managers overseeing technical operations, service providers timing deliveries to port calls. At every link in that chain, the quality of your intelligence determines the success of your decisions.
We bring together real-time vessel tracking & risk monitoring, counterparty due diligence, trade data, emissions analytics, breaking news and ownership intelligence to meet every need in your organisation.
Trusted by thousands of customers worldwide
Vet every vessel and counterparty before you commit
Owners need to know who is chartering their vessels — and charterers need confidence in the vessels they fix. Our intelligence supports both sides of that relationship. Use counterparty risk reports to assess the financial health and market reputation of the companies you trade with, and our vessel intelligence to verify age, deployment history, and understand risk before any charter agreement is signed. For energy companies managing their own fleets, we provide the vetting framework to evaluate both owned and chartered tonnage.
Fix vessels with confidence. Every time
Charterers operate in the opportunity market — fixing vessels for defined routes and periods, often under tight timeframes. Before you commit, our data gives you the vessel intelligence to assess age, deployment history, condition and associated risk, and the counterparty tools to evaluate the owner you're entering a contract with. Create counterparty agreements backed by real data — including safety grades, sanctions status, and ownership structure — so your clauses hold up when it matters.
Manage risk across every vessel — and every principal
Ship managers sit at the centre of the shipping ecosystem, responsible for the safe and compliant operation of vessels owned by others. Management teams can utilise a single view of fleet-wide risk — tracking ownership changes, monitoring sanctions status, and maintaining emissions performance records across every vessel under management. With complex multi-principal structures, our ownership intelligence tools help you map beneficial ownership chains quickly and keep your KYC obligations current.
Reach the right vessel at the right port at the right moment
For bunker suppliers, chandlers, equipment providers, port agents, and other ship service businesses, timing is revenue. Predictive fleet analytics and real-time vessel movement data help you anticipate port calls, coordinate supply before a vessel arrives, and avoid the costly waste of missed windows. Before you commit stock or extend credit, sanctions screening and counterparty checks ensure it's safe to trade — protecting you if a vessel is arrested or an owner is sanctioned after delivery.

Screen every vessel, every owner, every trade — before risk becomes exposure
In a market where sanctions lists change overnight and ownership structures are deliberately obscured, our risk and compliance solutions give you live screening across vessels, flag states, owners, and operators. With AIS-powered tracking across 550,000+ vessels, advanced risk scoring and automated monitoring, your compliance team always knows when something material changes — before it becomes your problem.
In shipping, everyone vets everyone. Make sure you vet them first
Ship owners vet charterers. Charterers vet owners. Energy companies vet both. This mutual due diligence is the foundation of how shipping does business — and we make it faster and more rigorous than ever. With 35,000+ analyst-written counterparty reports covering financial health, payment behaviour, ownership structure, and market reputation, you get the depth of intelligence to approve trades, set credit terms, and enter contracts with complete confidence.
Emissions performance is now an asset — or a liability. Know which one yours is
Whether you're a ship manager demonstrating CII compliance to principals, a charterer selecting vessels based on emissions ratings, or an owner building a case for greener operations — emissions data is now core to commercial and operational decisions. Our emissions data delivers voyage-level CO₂ estimates, CII and AER ratings, fleet benchmarking, and multi-year performance trends, updated every 24 hours, with no manual tracking required.
Know which vessel is coming into port — before your competitors do
For ship service businesses — bunker suppliers, chandlers, safety equipment providers, lubricant suppliers, telecoms and navigation equipment companies — the business development opportunity lives in the data. Our Maritime Trade 360 solution combines real-time vessel movements, predictive port call analytics, and cargo intelligence so you can coordinate supply, approach the right decision-maker, and convert prospects before a competitor picks up the phone. And with sanctions screening built in, you can be certain it's safe to trade before you commit.
