Local Vessels, Global Impact
Faster, Greener, Smarter Maritime Solutions
The logic behind the NauticWorx platform is that, when you need a spot vessel, it should not have to come from 10,000 miles away – no, it should be in the neighbourhood and be able to mobilise in 2-3 days. We aim to contribute to a more sustainable maritime industry by offering simple, energy-saving solutions.
This means you:
- save time
- save fuel
- reduce emissions
- reduce cost
- win uptime
Trusted by global maritime and offshore companies
Nauticworx is trusted by industry-wide brands in the maritime, oil & gas, offshore wind, dredging and other workboat industries.
Our mission
To match charterers in the spot vessel market to shipowners with assets for hire – fast and easy.
Our vision
To make the spot market for (specialised) workboats as efficient as possible.
Our values
We are guided by three core values: transparency, innovation and authenticity.
Solve problems – find your vessel
Oil & Gas majors, Offshore Wind Farm operators and other actors often need a specific vessel for a specific job. That vessel must be chartered fast, but not at any cost; it must also be cost-effective.
Nauticworx’ platform tackles the challenge of finding validated and real-time available ships-for-hire in a specific area of operation for a specific job. Moreover, it ensures the visibility of validated demand for a particular vessel or type of work in a specific area at a specific time.
Simultaneously, Nauticworx accommodates ship owners with downtime on their hands (or seeing it coming) and are looking to charter out their vessels.
