Expand your insight to enable better client follow-up

Investors, financial advisors and bankers need to know where their clients’ vessels are trading. ShipIntel provides reliable, high-quality in-house processed historical and live AIS data enriched by other publicly available maritime data.

ShipIntel lets you combine these high-quality maritime data feeds and the sea route calculator, with your proprietary data, to get the most out of your data allowing you to make data-driven decisions.

Tailor-make your map with type of vessels, vessel lists you have created, sea route calculations, notifications etc. so you quickly get the overview of where the vessels you and your network have funded are trading.

We recommend starting by creating a list of vessels you have funded (one for each client) and enriching the vessel lists with features and information. Set up ShipIntel inside your Microsoft 365 and attach internal documents, Outlook contacts and companies, Excel spreadsheets, pdfs etc. to port and vessels to quickly find the information you need when you need it.

Key features:

  • Access historical trading patterns for your clients’ vessels, get a better insight into where the vessels have been trading, which ports they have visited, where your clients' vessels are just now and where they are going.
  • Use destination prediction model to find where vessels are heading when they leave specific ports.
  • Be alerted when any of the vessels enters specific ports or areas like high-risk zones such as war zones, piracy areas, ECA zones or specific ports or country zones.
  • Find vessels technical specifications, type, technical descriptions (cubic, dwt, draft, TPCs etc.), year build, flag, yard built, ownership etc. and attach your private pdfs or Excel spreadsheets, technical drawings and GA plans.
  • Sync your Outlook contact book and create a team contact book, attach your contacts to their vessels, and create vessel lists in your map, and be able to quickly reach your contacts when you want to follow up on their investments.
  • Use the sea route calculator to calculate carbon emissions and potential savings by investing in new buildings, newly equipped vessels, or a different trading pattern.

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.

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.

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.
