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.

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.
