Marcura, a global leader in digital maritime solutions, has announced the strategic acquisition of VesselMan, a prominent provider of technology solutions for dry-docking and technical project management for shipowners and managers.
Today’s announcement marks a significant step forward for Marcura in enhancing its comprehensive suite of data-driven maritime solutions, providing its customers with expanded capabilities to streamline operations and optimise costs.
VesselMan's cloud-based software complements Macura’s e-procurement platform by offering advanced vessel management tools, ranging from inspections and technical project planning, sourcing, and purchasing to project workflows and analytics.
A Unified Platform for Comprehensive Vessel Management
VesselMan will be integrated with established Marcura solutions, MarTrust and ShipServ, to provide customers with access to end-to-end services within a unified digital environment.
By this, VesselMan customers will benefit from the extensive supplier network of ShipServ, offering unmatched procurement efficiency and access to the maritime industry’s largest marketplace.
Similarly, MarTrust will provide customers with tailored payment solutions for technical projects, ensuring secure, compliant, and efficient financial transactions.
These integrations will help customers to manage the entire vessel lifecycle more efficiently from voyage costs (DA-Desk, Claimshub), Vessel Operational expenses (ShipServ), and technical project budgets from VesselMan within a single ecosystem.
Enhanced Solutions and New Opportunities
“This acquisition represents a natural evolution of Marcura’s mission to deliver seamless, data-driven solutions for the maritime industry to manage its growing complexities,” said Henrik Hyldahn, Group CEO of Marcura. “With VesselMan, we’re equipping our customers with an even stronger platform that delivers unmatched operational efficiency.”
“VesselMan’s mission has always been to empower shipping companies with smart, standardized processes,” added Frank G. Olsen, CEO of VesselMan. “Joining Marcura allows us to expand that vision, enhancing our solutions and present new opportunities for our customers.”
