Charter short term workboats when you need them
You need a specific vessel? We match the regionally available assets with your project.
Sustainable chartering
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 fast.
This means you:
- Save time
- Save fuel
- Reduce emissions
- Reduce cost
- Gain uptime
We aim to contribute to a more sustainable maritime industry by offering simple, energy-saving solutions.
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.
To match charterers in the spot vessel market to shipowners with assets for hire - fast and easy.
Whether you are searching for a spot vessel, offering one, or both, you can connect in a few clicks.
To make the spot market for (specialised) workboats as efficient as possible!
In close collaboration with the maritime industry, we transform the way assets can be connected to projects. Spot. Click. Match.
We are guided by three core values: transparency, innovation and authenticity.
We envision a world where spot projects are handled in a smart and sustainable way, faster than ever before, while reducing emissions. And yes, we believe the two can go together.
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.
Safe and secure
- Confidentiality first: only receive proposals from companies you select.
- Control your timing: connect with relevant people when you’re ready.
- Stay anonymous: remain anonymous until you choose to reveal yourself.
- Mutual agreement: share details only after both parties agree.
- Secure transactions: conduct all communications and transactions with full security.
