We are a maritime-dedicated venture studio that create startups with practical solutions that generate high recurring value in maritime commerce. Our members come steep in maritime domain expertise, yet we operate at the fringe rather than the center as futurist system thinkers, designers, developers & operators of digital platforms. We know the problems, therefore we solve them as an outsider. This is our unique edge.
Maritime shipping is in a flux. Technological changes are putting pressure on businesses and people to adapt. While helping companies ride the digitalization wave, ShipsFocus take lead in creating otherwise unavailable value-add products by leveraging on technological breakthroughs. Yes, contact us, let’s make your ideas come alive!
Our time-series (since 2003) freight data and quantitatively developed chemical freight indices continue to improve as we access ever wider network of data, sources, ever-enhancing data processing and modeling. Our next goal is to develop these indices based on a hedonic model.
Our comprehensive data include time-series freight rates, ship, cargo and trade volumes in chemicals, lubes, vegoils, indicators in freight, T/C rates and S&P prices and forecasts. These are designed and supported by a data management framework including a robust IT infrastructure.
Our tech applications include: Chartering & ops systems; ship tracking; voyage & DA management system; document automation & management; BI & dashboards; and continually developing products like PortView; Cargo+; Position+; Book-a-Launch; AGENSEE, etc.
We believe technology should serve the users, and not the other way round. We usually start with a digital tool offering that lightens users’ workload. Our customer-centric approach, based on 3 core pillars of technology, intelligence and service delivers real values simply.
We want to share our knowledge on innovation in maritime shipping and the challenges & opportunities it faces. In this process, our current & future collaborators can know more about us and the business we are doing, and create more values together.
