See global shipping clearly - Decide earlier - Act with confidence.
The intelligence infrastructure for the maritime economy.
Marine Benchmark connects vessels, voyages, trade, capacity, environmental conditions, emissions and risk into one consistent view of global shipping — across history, today and what comes next.
Global shipping is one connected system.
Your maritime data should be too.
A vessel is more than a position on a map. It is part of a fleet, performs voyages, carries cargo, uses shipping capacity, encounters weather and ocean conditions, consumes energy, produces emissions and connects companies, ports and markets.
Marine Benchmark connects these dimensions in one consistent Data Foundation. This makes it possible to understand global shipping at system level — and then examine the vessels, voyages, events, locations and relationships driving what you see.
Broad enough to see the system. Detailed enough to explain it.
Global in scope. Deep by design.
From individual vessels to global markets, Marine Benchmark combines exceptional granularity, global breadth and 17+ years of consistent history in one connected view of physical shipping.
145,000+
IMO-registered vessels.
With pre-calculated statistics for every vessel. Identified and maintained from more than 2 million MMSI identities followed over time.
70,000+
Structured maritime geographies.
A globally maintained geographic framework spanning 9,000+ ports, 17,000+ terminals and 41,000+ named berth polygons, together with other operational and regulatory maritime areas.
30TB+
Pre-calculated maritime intelligence
Thousands of measures, already calculated across vessels, voyages, geographies and markets — and instantly accessible through 17+ years of history.
17+
Years of consistent global maritime history.
From 2009 to today, reprocessable under current methodology and instantly accessible across the full period.
25
Years of future fleet intelligence.
A vessel-level representation of the future global fleet, incorporating future vessels, capacity, technology and fleet evolution across a 25-year horizon, incl 2050 discussions.
Explore Marine Benchmark Data
Eight connected Data Domains. One maritime Data Foundation.
Eight connected Data Domains span the physical, commercial, environmental and risk dimensions of shipping - from global markets and fleets to individual voyages, vessels, events and locations.
Fleet Structure & Capacity
Know what exists and the capacity it represents.
Understand the scale, capacity and composition of any fleet including vessels on order, entering service, active, idle, laid up or leaving the fleet. Analyse fleet structure across vessel characteristics, stakeholders, markets, geographies and time.
Fleet Evolution & Forecast
See how the fleet is changing and what comes next.
Model how renewal, retirement, technology and utilisation reshape the global fleet and what that means for future vessel demand, equipment, fuels, capacity and emissions over a 25-year horizon.
Voyages & Vessel Activity
Understand what vessels actually do.
Turn vessel observations into consistent operational events and voyage histories. Understand passages, waiting, port calls, terminal and berth activity, ship-to-ship operations and the commercial voyages they form.
Cargo & Trade
See what the world is moving by sea.
Track physical cargo and commodity flows through vessels and voyages, connecting what is moving with its origin, destination, route and the shipping capacity carrying it.
Capacity & Performance
Understand how shipping capacity is deployed and used.
Measure effective supply, utilisation, transport work, congestion and productivity across global shipping and identify the markets, trade lanes, fleets and vessels driving change.
Weather & Ocean
Know the conditions shipping actually encounters.
Connect weather and ocean conditions with vessel movements, voyages, routes and maritime assets. Measure historical exposure, current conditions and forecasts up to 14 days ahead.
Energy, Emissions & Regulation
Measure energy, emissions and regulatory exposure.
Connect individual vessel activity with energy use, fuel consumption, emissions and regulatory consequences. Analyse consistently across voyages, shipments, fleets and markets from historical operations to future fleet development.
Risk & Compliance
Identify maritime risk and the evidence behind it.
Connect vessels and stakeholders with sanctions, trading behaviour, geographic exposure and actual maritime activity. Support KYC, screening, investigation and monitoring and identify future sanctions risk before official designation.
Used where maritime data has to stand up to scrutiny
Commercial decisions, international policy, regulatory analysis and long-term market questions all depend on defensible maritime evidence.
Marine Benchmark data and modelling have, over a long range of years, supported work with organisations including the IMO, UNCTAD, the European Commission, World Bank, IDB, Universities, various reseach institutes, alongside major commercial maritime and industrial customers.
International policy & regulation
Maritime activity, fleet, energy and emissions data used in high-level regulatory and policy analysis.
Commercial & market intelligence
Connected vessel, voyage, trade, capacity and environmental intelligence used for market and strategic decisions.
