90POE is a leader in maritime technology, helping shipping companies manage the full operational and commercial lifecycle of their fleets through its cloud-based platform, OpenOcean STUDIO.
Built in collaboration with the shipping industry, the platform brings together operational, commercial and compliance data into a single environment, enabling operators to make smarter decisions from ship to shore. From voyage management and crew operations to maintenance and emissions compliance, OpenOcean STUDIO provides a unified view of fleet performance powered by AI, predictive analytics and real-time data.
The Challenge
Delivering complete fleet visibility starts with trusted data
For OpenOcean STUDIO, vessel positions and geographic intelligence sit at the heart of the platform. Customers rely on accurate, real-time visibility of their fleets to monitor vessel movements, validate passage plans, understand changing operational conditions and identify when vessels enter key areas of interest.
To deliver this capability, 90POE required two critical datasets:
* Reliable global AIS vessel position data combining terrestrial and satellite coverage
* Comprehensive Geo Zone data covering ports, terminals and other operational areas of interest
While the platform already supported these capabilities, 90POE wanted to review its data providers to ensure it could continue delivering high quality intelligence while improving commercial efficiency.
“Operators need to understand where their fleet is at all times. Reliable vessel position data is fundamental to everything else we deliver.”
Gary Lloyd, Chief Technology Officer, 90POE
Why Lloyd's List Intelligence?
Following an evaluation of alternative providers, Lloyd's List Intelligence stood out for far more than competitive pricing.
The team found the APIs easy to understand, well documented and simple to integrate into existing workflows. Throughout the evaluation, the Lloyd's List Intelligence team provided responsive technical support, while the data itself was rigorously validated against both the previous provider and GPS positions from selected vessels.
The result was confidence that customers would continue receiving timely, accurate vessel intelligence without disruption.
Key reasons for choosing Lloyd's List Intelligence
* High quality terrestrial and satellite AIS data
* Comprehensive Geo Zone coverage
* Well documented, developer-friendly APIs
* Stable and reliable platform performance
* Responsive technical support
* Competitive commercial model
The Solution
A seamless implementation
Because OpenOcean STUDIO was designed with flexible data ingestion in mind, migrating to Lloyd's List Intelligence was straightforward.
The implementation simply required building a new position ingester using an established development pattern already familiar to the engineering team. Combined with clear API documentation and straightforward integration, the transition was completed quickly with minimal effort.
"The documentation and APIs were easy to understand and access, making the whole process very straightforward."
The Results
Better intelligence without disrupting customers
The migration delivered immediate benefits while remaining invisible to customers.
On the AIS side, customers experienced a completely seamless transition with no disruption to service or platform performance.
The addition of Lloyd's List Intelligence Geo Zone data has also strengthened OpenOcean STUDIO's understanding of the maritime world, enabling richer operational context and more intelligent alerts within 90POE's onRADAR capability.
This allows customers to better understand when vessels are approaching ports, terminals or other important operational areas, helping operators respond faster and make better informed decisions.
Customer Recommendation
Better intelligence without disrupting customers
"I would totally recommend the Lloyd's List Intelligence services. The team is approachable, friendly to work with and always happy to help. The quality of the products is excellent, the data is high quality, and the APIs are easy to use."
