Frequently asked questions
Answer key questions about the native connection.
Veson made a strategic acquisition of Shipfix to address current and future challenges in the industry by unifying structured and unstructured data in maritime shipping workflows. With this acquisition, IMOS and Shipfix users can immediately benefit from enhanced pre-fixture decision making, a user-centered workflow, robust access to market data, and total continuity from pre-fixture to post-voyage. For the entire industry, this acquisition will redefine standards for informational immediacy and continuity throughout the entire voyage and cargo lifecycle.
Delayed decisions can result in failed or missed trades, which mean lost revenue, lost margin, and lost profits. From an operational standpoint, delayed decisions can result in critical downstream delays and excess costs, driving up demurrage, fuel expenses, environmental costs, and more. While informational immediacy is a competitive advantage today, it will quickly become a requirement for maritime organizations to compete profitably.
Today, maritime organizations face three key barriers to informational immediacy: voyage participants work in silos, they have numerous solutions that increase complexity, and data abounds but is often trapped in email and other sources. Shipfix addresses all of these barriers by unifying pre- and post-fixture teams with a common workflow platform, providing a single ecosystem that unifies information for charterers and operators, and bridging the gap between the information stakeholders need and the way they work.
Shipfix applies proprietary machine learning technology to the extraction and contextualization of data from emails and other communication channels. In addition, Shipfix runs data science and complex algorithms around vessel tracking and operating data, such as AIS tracking, with over 1 billion datapoints processed per month.
Yes, Shipfix was designed specifically for the requirements of shipping and trading teams, from pre-fixture to post-fixture, with a strong emphasis on the complex communication workflows involved, both internally and externally.
The platform coordination is streamlined by sharing tags and reference data between IMOS and Shipfix. For the next release, users will be able to surface IMOS voyage data within Shipfix, acting as a base for native workflows to be enabled.
Shipfix applies security and privacy by design and by default. Both are an absolute core focus of our engineering and product development teams, reflected in our tech architecture and going far beyond simple GDPR compliance. As Shipfix is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Veson Nautical, it has certified ISO 27001 and 27701, which are the most stringent certifications when it comes to security and privacy across global jurisdictions.
