Built by maritime natives
and AI researchers
Routing is the heart of AI in commercial shipping. Without easy, explainable and defensible sea routes, compliance and autonomy will be impossible. Our mission is to deliver the world's highest accuracy level in predictive routing and become the foundational AI model for commercial shipping.
We've built this from inside the industry, alongside shipowners, charterers and navigational officers; on real commercial data; in strategic partnership with one of the world's leading tanker operators; and with some of the best maritime and maritime-AI talent on either side of the Atlantic. The result is a neurosymbolic, multi-agent system that turns every voyage into structured, auditable intelligence.
As regulation, autonomy and AI converge on shipping, the companies that own the routing layer will define the next decade of global logistics and the next vertical AI category alongside legal, clinical and financial intelligence.
We're building VesselFront to be that company.
