About
Built by maritime, for the people who meet the ship.
Vessel Hunter began with a simple frustration: hours lost chasing leads off vessel arrivals, one ship at a time, with almost nothing on the market to make it easier. So we built the workspace that pairs a live AIS feed with the commercial layer behind every hull, and the verified contact for the person who actually decides.

Where the idea started, and where your data lives.
How it started
In 2025 our founder, Bram van Oevelen, took a two-year traineeship as a marketing representative for a Singaporean shipyard. Inside the work he ran straight into an industry-wide frustration: the hours lost chasing leads off vessel arrivals, one by one, with almost no tooling to make it faster. That gap, between what is knowable about a ship and what is actually known in time to act, became the mission.
Vessel Hunter is the answer to it: contacts, fleet data, news, and live arrival alerts in one place, on the go, at the ease of a single button press. Read the founder’s full note.
What we’re building
Most tools sell you the position. We pair it with the commercial layer: the ownership tree, the inspection and class record, and the verified decision maker behind the hull, so you reach the right person before a competitor does. It is shaped around the teams that meet the ship, the shipyards, suppliers, service providers, and port agents who win or lose work on who gets to the call first. See every feature or how it works.
