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 vessel, and the verified contact for the person who actually decides.
Singapore
Where the idea started.
How it started
In 2025 I took a two-year traineeship as a marketing representative for a Singaporean shipyard. As a rookie I was taking it all in, and I learned fast how valuable time is in an industry that never stops moving.
What I also ran into was a frustration the whole industry shares: the hours lost chasing leads off vessel arrivals, one ship at a time, with almost nothing on the market to make it faster. The gap between what is knowable about a ship and what you actually know in time to act became the mission.
So I built the tool I kept wishing I had. Contacts, fleet data, news, and live arrival alerts in one place, on the go, at the ease of a single button press. That is Vessel Hunter.

What we're building
Most tools sell you the position. We pair it with the commercial layer behind the vessel, so you reach the right person before a competitor does.
Built by maritime
Shaped by someone who lived the problem, for the people who meet the ship, not a generic data feed repackaged for shipping.
The whole picture, not just the dot
Position, the ownership tree, the inspection and class record, and the verified decision maker behind the vessel, in one place.
