Oslo, Norway – April 11, 2025 – Maritime Optima, a leading provider of maritime software solutions for any type of company involved in maritime business, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Maritime IntelX. This collaboration will integrate Maritime IntelX's real-time bunker price data and forward curves into Maritime Optima's ShipIntel platform, providing customers with unparalleled access to accurate and timely fuel pricing information, bunker planning, and carbon emission estimates.
Maritime IntelX is a company specializing in real-time maritime bunker data and analytics. Their services include accurate bunker price data, forward curves, and other essential information.
As a chartering manager, your job is to find the best possible combination of cargoes and vessels to maximize the Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) of a portfolio of vessels and cargoes today as well as over time. However, to optimize the TCE, you also need to know the real-time bunker prices in many ports, which grades are available and be able to do the bunker planning. Additionally, you must estimate the carbon emissions for each voyage and over time. Chartering managers usually have to log in and out of several software applications to perform these different calculations and they are spending hours gathering information, reading emails, managing communications, and running pre-voyage calculations, often one by one, to compare TCEs for a portfolio of cargoes and vessels.
With the partnership between Maritime Optima and Maritime IntelX, customers can now access both real-time bunker prices and forward curves, perform bunker planning, and estimate carbon emissions as part of their voyage calculations and they can access this information along with essential information in ports.
In ShipIntel customers will now be able to access high quality processed AIS data with advanced destination predictions, email management and parsing, bunker planning, carbon emission calculations. "So now we can truly help our customers optimize both their time and the TCE for their portfolios," says Kristin Omholt-Jensen, CEO and founder of Maritime Optima.
"We have been working with Maritime Optima almost since the company started and find this very exciting, first as BunkerEx and now as Maritime IntelX," says Martin Leø, Global Head of Sales at Maritime IntelX. "It is great to find companies like Maritime Optima who dare to invest in data processing like they have done and do, to develop the next generation decision support system. We are happy to support them."
"We have wanted an integrated solution like this for a long time, and we want to be a part of developing the next generation decision support system for chartering, and by also integrating ShipIntel with our Microsoft 365, we truly get it all at a very affordable price," says Nina Bjerregaard, Chartering Manager at Sagitta Marine.
Maritime Optima aims to empower maritime professionals by unlocking their digital potential and enhancing productivity through innovative solutions.
