About Maritime Optima

Maritime Optima AS was founded in May 2019. Today, we are privately funded by several tech entrepreneurs and shipping executives. We were awarded the Copernicus price and the Microsoft Startup program in 2019-2021. In 2023, we became a part of the Microsoft ISV Success Program.

Our company is located in modern offices in Vika Atrium in Oslo, but we want to build and grow a marketing team outside Norway. So in 2024, we intend to have presence in London and Singapore, as well as Oslo, so it is fine with us if you are located in any of these places.

We are working closely with the users while developing the products we offer. Today, we develop and distribute two SaaS products:

ShipIntel: A flexible and affordable team software for any company involved in maritime business. With ShipIntel our customers can make better decisions today, with tomorrow's maritime solution.

ShipIntel’s first modules were launched in October 2022 as MVP. In October 2023, we officially launched the modular ShipIntel, and ShipIntel is growing very quickly. ShipIntel is available on the web and as a part of the Microsoft Office 365 portfolio. ShipIntel is also available on mobile.

ShipAtlas: An application for individuals and consumers interested in following ships.
ShipAtlas was launched in August 2020 as a MVP product on the web, and in February 2022, we launched the mobile applications with different types of subscriptions. Users can download the application in the AppStore, Google Play Store, or register on the web. Today, ShipAtlas has more than 330,000 registered users.
