ShipIntel for Investment Firms, Advisors & Insurance

Reduce risk. Protect capital. Make better maritime decisions every day.

Shipping is dynamic, global, and increasingly complex. ShipIntel Essentials gives banks, investment firms, marine insurers, project finance teams, and maritime advisors the intelligence they need to stay ahead of risk.

Monitor vessels, owners, operators, ports, and trade flows in real time. Detect sanctions exposure, AIS outages, ownership changes, suspicious trading patterns, and other risk indicators before they become costly surprises. Turn unstructured emails and maritime data into actionable intelligence, helping your team make faster, more informed decisions with confidence.

Turn maritime insight into reduced risk

Recent guidance from regulators and industry bodies increasingly highlights AIS outages, deceptive shipping practices, sanctions screening, and vessel monitoring as critical components of maritime due diligence. Yet much of the information still sits across disconnected systems, reports, spreadsheets, inboxes, and websites. Port agencies, ship chandlers, and freight forwarders each play a vital role in supporting vessels. While they may work independently or as part of a broader service chain, they all share the same objective: delivering excellent service without causing delays to the vessels.

Financial institutions face growing pressure to monitoring:

War risk
Sanctions
Piracy
Jamming
Changing MMSI
Changing name of vessels

Changing ownership
Trading to sanctioned countries
Turning off/on AIS
Vessels involved in STS operations (where, when and which vessels are involved)
Vessels historical trading pattern and changing trading patterns

Export in pdf to document with time stamps and add your own comments. Store these documents in your Sharepoint / folder and link it to the vessel so you can follow what really happened after they become your client.

Understand how assets are really trading

To reduce risk is to understand the commercial trading pattern, who’s the owner and then combine this information with the compliance risk listed above. The vessel may look attractive “on paper” but her actual trading history may tell a different story.

Create lists of vessel per existing client or find information about any of the vessel in the public database if a new potential client ask for your service.

See where vessels have traded, how they are being utilized, and whether vessel behavior aligns with the assumptions behind your investment, financing, or insurance decisions.

ShipIntel Essentials provides:

Historical trading patterns
Port call histories back to Jan 2020
Voyage playback back to Jan 2020
Arrival and departure detection (anchorages & ports)
Predicted destinations so you can be proactive
Type of cargo operation
Congestion monitoring in ports

Create unlimited number of vessels lists (e.g.. one per existing client) and be notified about events that matter to you. Receive these notifications in real time or emails sent out every 12 or 24 hours.

Turn emails into business intelligence

ShipIntel is not another email client.

It transforms daily email correspondence into structured maritime intelligence linked to vessels, ports, companies and contacts.

See where vessels have traded, how they are being utilized, and whether vessel behavior aligns with the assumptions behind your investment, financing, or insurance decisions.

Instead of information disappearing into personal inboxes teams can work from shared inboxes and have:

Emails become searchable by vessel, company and port and attached to vessels, ports and companies
Teams can work from shared inboxes, and assign tasks, add notes, search, filters, tabs etc. but the email content is parsed into structured data attached to vessels, ports, cargoes, companies etc.
Cargo opportunities can be followed from first email to fixture
Tasks and follow-ups are visible to the entire team
Contacts are automatically connected to vessels, ports and companies

Does your company use Microsoft 365?

ShipIntel subscriptions supports a deep integration with the Entra access control system and the ShipIntel's email client is built on top of Exchange. You can configure Sharepoint to attach folders to vessels and ports, and receive notifications inside Teams and on your mobile.

Mathias Børresen

NRP Maritime Asset Management AS

Having used several competing AIS providers, we were confident in our decision to add ShipIntel Essentials to our toolbox. We are impressed with its sleek, responsive, and easy-to-use interface and we're excited to leverage its full potential in our day-to-day operations. Maritime Optima has been very attentive, listening to our needs and implementing functions we have requested.

Espen Thulin

Shipbroker at Nomadic Shipping AS

We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. We added more features because we gained access to high-quality AIS data, smart AI searches, and a very user-friendly software at an affordable price. There are too many stand alone softwares, and we have started looking for a kind of all in one software that gives us what we need at an affordable price.

Lars Paulsen

Commercial Director at Oslo Bulk

We chose ShipIntel because it is an innovative solution, easy to use, and comes with a very competitive price. We continued using ShipIntel because the Maritime Optima team continuously develop and maintain the software. We also think it is an advantage that maritime software is developed by people that have been working in the industry. So the easy to use, relevancy, high AIS quality and price makes ShipIntel a unique maritime software box.

Sebastian Venjar

Shipbroker at Hesnes Gas AS

We believe ShipIntel stands out on key points such as coverage, search/filters/lists, and user interface. The highly skilled IT team is supplemented with experienced shipping people, so we are confident that ShipIntel will continue developing to our benefit.
