Nearly three decades ago, an early software pioneer, Michael Veson, saw an opportunity to deliver customized software solutions to the maritime industry.  He founded Veson Inc. and established the automation of port-to-port distance tables used in early voyage-estimating applications.  His Distance Calculation Engine is included with the Fairplay World Shipping Encyclopedia and is employed by thousands of users around the world.

Veson delivered customized solutions to meet the specific needs of companies worldwide.  In his twenty plus years in business, Michael built a base of hundreds of loyal customers with whom he developed personal relationships, trail-blazed best practices in the industry, and developed a reputation for honesty and integrity.



In 2003 Michael turned the reins of the company over to his son, John, who added “Nautical” to the name and changed how the entity does business, virtually creating a new company.   Today, John D. Veson has transformed the company’s product line, broadened its partner network and revamped its customer care approach. John has combined his legacy in the maritime industry, his education, his technology expertise gained as a Microsoft consultant, and his business acumen garnered from successfully managing multi-million dollar projects to revitalize and reinvent the “new” Veson Nautical. To date, the success of his focused business strategy has resulted in triple digit growth year on year since 2004.
