For Principals

Quiet Technology for Operators Who Move Markets

Competitive infrastructure, quietly adopted.

~20% of global DWT managed by Greek-owned fleets.
The brief

Founded in Piraeus, built around trust with the owner networks that set the global standard. The earlier you start, the deeper the moat around your own data history.

Technology adoption in this community doesn’t follow pitch decks. It follows trust built over time. VesselFront was founded in Piraeus and maintains strategic access to owner networks that are hard to replicate.

Compliance records accumulate over multiple years. The earlier you start, the deeper the moat around your own data history.

What you get

Three decisions built around your role

The features principals actually use on a Wednesday at 14:00.

01

Built on real commercial data

Not academic benchmarks — operator-grounded outcomes from millions of real voyages.

02

Vertically integrated

From AIS sensor ingest to the bridge decision. Auditable end-to-end. No third-party black boxes in the loop.

03

Three to five years ahead

Complex-Event Recognition research, neurosymbolic architecture, and continuous validation against the live fleet.

Proven in the field

Voyages that vindicate the principals brief

Real commercial passages — not synthetic benchmarks. Each one is reproducible from raw inputs.

India-to-Brazil voyage from Sikka to Niterói, routing south through the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the South Atlantic – 30 days, 7,922 nm. The operational risk on this lane is the Cape rounding, where the route hit its southernmost point at 35.9°S in the Roaring Forties. The optimised track cut Sea State 6+ exposure (≥4.0 m) nearly in half – from 6.4% of the historical track to 3.6% – and reduced Sea State 5+ exposure from 36.0% to 26.0%. Route-averaged significant wave height was 2.17 m. The vessel operated on VLSFO throughout with no ECA transits, so the 13.31% FOC reduction (89 MT saved) is a pure routing-and-speed optimisation result, not a fuel-grade effect.

India-to-Brazil tanker voyage from Gujarat to Rio de Janeiro, 25 days westbound across the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the South Atlantic, October–November 2023. The route-averaged significant wave height was 1.95 m on the optimised track. The highest seas of the voyage came late, on the Brazilian approach at 24.2°S, 34.3°W: the optimised track encountered a peak of 5.96 m versus 5.64 m on the historical track – a marginally higher absolute peak in exchange for reduced overall heavy-weather dwell time, with Sea State 5+ waypoints cut from 26.1% to 23.4%. The lane runs entirely outside ECA zones, so VLSFO was held throughout with no fuel-switching event, and the 0.94% FOC savings (5.9 MT) is a pure routing result rather than a fuel-grade arbitrage.

Eastbound tanker voyage from Tubarão to Port Louis, 20 days, 5,514 nm – across the South Atlantic, round the Cape of Good Hope, across the southern Indian Ocean. September 2023. The lane runs entirely through the Southern Ocean's high-sea-state corridor; the historical replay spent 100% of the voyage at Sea State 4+ and 13.7% at Sea State 6+ (≥4 m), with a 6.09 m peak just south-west of the Cape. The optimised track cut Sea State 6+ exposure to 1.3%, a 10% reduction, and Sea State 5+ exposure from 62.4% to 40.9%. Peak wave encounter dropped from 6.09 m to 4.29 m, and the peak itself relocated: from the Cape's stormiest zone to a milder corridor south-east of Madagascar. Mean SOG 11.6 kn. The result was a 14.34% FOC saving (84 MT), outside any ECA, so a clean routing-and-weather management saving rather than a fuel-grade effect.
