We are heading towards Christmas and November has been a very busy month. We started the month in Athen training and setting up our Sales and Customer Success manager Christina and ended the month in signing up a new frontend developer; Diemas Michiels who will join our team in January.
We are now looking for a Head of Global Marketing and a Sales and Customer Success Manager in Singapore. So do you want to embark Maritime Optima, reach out to us!
November has also been busy for sales and for developing new ShipIntel features and we are happy to share that we have started onboading customers on ShipIntel Pre-Fix.
Beside being active in the day-to-day activities, we organised a Christmas Party in the Traveller's Club and we had the pleasure of being invited by the Norwegian Embassy to their Christmas Party in Athen. We are grateful to be invited and becoming a part of the Greek shipping society.
In the end of November we also became a member of Norwegian Maritime Exporters NME, who has served as a link between Norwegian maritime companies and the global markets since 1995, and we have we will be at Nor-Shipping 2025, thanks to Sidsel Norvik. We are ready to scale and grow globally and be present where the shipping industry is located.
Our "working-horse" ShipAtlas seems to keep on growing. ShipAtlas has been around for 3 years; 3 years with the Standard subscription and 2 years with the Premium subscription.
To make ShipAtlas available for any individual that might be interested to track vessels, we have kept the subscription prices unchanged.
No complex pricing structure and no adds. In-house processed data fro raw AIS data from satellite, terrestrials and dynamic sources along with other public data sources.
Global coverage and for any type of vessels.

November has been the month of recurring revenues and since ShipIntel Essentials is for any type and size of company, we have a variety of different companies as customers:
Here are the Subscriptions offered by Maritime Optima:
ShipIntel Essentials - the must have AIS tool box, with advanced AIS based models like destination prediction and dynamic vessel lists where you are notified about the vessels performance.
ShipIntel Pre-Fix including Maritime Email AI. Saving hours each day. As tested by experienced chartering managers, we estimate about 10- 20% each time 👊
ShipIntel Post-Fix & Scheduling (will be officially launched in January 2025)
This month we have the pleasure of sharing with you that we have started onboarding customers on ShipIntel Pre-Fix Subscription.
Any type of company needs to follow the market and understand the risk they are taking, therefore any type of company needs to run some quick pre-voyage calculations.
That is why we also offer the Pre-Fix Subscription at a very affordable price (a fraction of the price offered from existing ERP systems, with less complexity and only with the features you need)
In last month's newsletter we could reveal that we had welcomed Christina Madamadiotou and Arne M. Bartnes to the company, being our local presence in Greece and Singapore respectively.
In the last week of November Christina came to Oslo to work with the rest of the team. It was great getting to knowing her, listen to her ideas and getting some new perspectives. In addition to our time together at the office, we also spent time together with her outside the office.
We're happy to have you with us Arne and Christina!
At the end of the month we gathered our colleagues, shareholders, board and customers to celebrate this festive season, the challenging yet successful year we're leaving behind us and the exciting times we're approaching
This year's celebration took place at the Travellers Club, where Thorleif Thorleifsson, our Chairman, welcomed us. He started off the event by drawing some fascinating parallels between startups and his own successful expeditions to the Artic waters 🥾with bold ambitions, limited resources and a team that work hard together.
Kristin Omholt-Jensen took us through a year with challenges and milestones, and looked into 2025 with excitement and energy, sharing budgets and roadmaps. Glenn Ricaud, Jørgen Hanssen, Pål-Robert Engnæs, Bjarte Klyve Larsen and Morten Omholt-Jensen continued with presenting parts of ShipIntel and our achievements in 2024.
The party continued with wonderful food, filled glasses, games, music and meaningful conversations.
Thank you to everyone who joined and made the night a special one!
Christina had the honour of attending the Norwegian Embassy in Athens’s Christmas party last week, where the Norwegian Ambassador, Lajla Brandt Jakhelln, warmly welcomed Maritime Optima to the Greek market.
It was a delightful evening of connection and celebration. Events like these strengthen our ties as a Norwegian company operating in Greece, and we’re excited to continue building relationships in this vibrant region.
