Maritime Optima notice increased international interest for their innovative AI solution ShipIntel® and announce establishment of new offices in the important global shipping hubs Greece and Singapore.
ShipIntel® by Maritime Optima is driving the digital transformation of the shipping industry. By letting the companies combine company data with maritime AIS data, cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, and generative AI technology through their partnership with Microsoft, ShipIntel® creates a revolutionary maritime working environment.
ShipIntel® subscriptions can be integrated into the customer’s Entra protocol, and we have developed a web portal for IT managers to simplify the configuration and setup of Microsoft integrations. These integrations save companies hours each day by reducing routine work and data searches, allowing them to make better-qualified commercial decisions, says Founder and CEO Kristin Omholt-Jensen.
Maritime Optima’s customer base is growing internationally. Recognizing the need for local representation, our first step in internationalization is establishing offices in Athens and Singapore, two of the world’s leading shipping hubs. From these offices, we will serve customers in Southern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, says Omholt-Jensen.
