In the fast-moving world of maritime technology, data quality and reliability make all the difference. For seabo, a digital solution focused on streamlining chartering workflows, the goal was simple: give users deeper vessel insights to help them make faster, smarter decisions.
They were already using AIS and vessel data from another provider. But the seabo team saw an opportunity to go further — not just offering more data, but delivering the right data, in the right format, at the right time.
Raising the Bar for Maritime Intelligence
As seabo’s Chief Operating Officer, Markus Brendel, explains:
“We didn’t have pain points, but we did have high standards. The decision to look for a new data partner came from our commitment to deliver deeper insights for our users – not just more data, but the right data, in the right format, at the right time.”
To achieve this, seabo needed a partner with maritime intelligence in its DNA — one that could deliver trusted AIS coverage alongside rich vessel characteristics.
The Solution: AIS SeaOrbis from Lloyd’s List Intelligence
seabo chose Lloyd’s List Intelligence and its AIS SeaOrbis solution to power the platform with real-time vessel movement data and detailed vessel profiles.
A key factor in the decision was flexibility of delivery. seabo integrated the AIS SeaOrbis feed directly into their customer platform — choosing from multiple options (API, Snowflake, FTP, or TCP stream). This ensured a reliable flow of near-real-time AIS data without disrupting existing workflows.
The transition was smooth, with Lloyd’s List Intelligence working closely with seabo to deliver the data in a compatible format and accelerate time-to-value.
The Results: Stronger Insights, Greater Credibility
Since implementing AIS SeaOrbis, seabo has seen measurable benefits:
As Brendel puts it:
“Integrating Lloyd’s List Intelligence has done more than improve our data – it’s reinforced our credibility. The name alone signals quality and trust to our users.”
A Platform Built for the Future
For seabo, the partnership is about more than data — it’s about building a stronger foundation for innovation. With AIS SeaOrbis at its core, seabo is now positioned to scale faster, develop new features with confidence, and stay true to its mission: making chartering more efficient, data-driven, and transparent.
Or, in their words:
“By removing manual work and delivering centralised vessel insights, we empower our users to make faster, better decisions – and that gives them an edge in a competitive market.”
Why It Matters for Maritime Software Providers
seabo’s story highlights what many in the sector already know: when it comes to powering maritime platforms, the right AIS data can be a strategic differentiator. With AIS SeaOrbis, providers can deliver:
That’s why seabo considers Lloyd’s List Intelligence not just a supplier, but a growth partner.
