What ship & port agencies can do with ShipIntel

Support your clients with real-time insights for proactive risk management

Working in marine insurance and being an underwriter means having to continuously assess exposure and follow up on your existing and potential new clients and their vessels, to offer your risk management services and exchange knowledge.

In ShipIntel Essentials, you will access high-quality processed AIS data for any type of vessel with global coverage. The raw AIS data is collected from satellites, terrestrial senders and dynamic AIS. You will be able to access consistent trade tracking back to 2019. The AIS data is enriched with other types of maritime data like cargo operation, technical descriptions, speed and consumption etc.

Key features:

  • Create vessel lists operated by your existing clients so you know where each of their vessels are trading at any time.
  • On each of the vessels in the lists you will find where the vessel has been trading in the past (back to 2019), what type of cargo operation she did, where she is now and where she is heading.
  • To those vessels lists you can subscribe for notifications so you can be notified about where each of the vessel is heading, speed, course or if she is changing directions.
  • Be notified when vessels enter ECA zones, war zones, sanctioned countries or other defined areas.
  • If you sync your Outlook contact book you can attach contacts and companies to each of the vessels.
  • If you set up Microsoft 365 you can attach contracts, technical drawings and descriptions of each of the vessels.

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.
