MARITIME predictive intelligence company Windward has partnered with Maritech to provide its risk scores to the Sea/ digital platform.

The Sea/ platform enables charterers, brokers and owners to make informed decisions and manage freight transactions from start to finish by digitising workflows.

The solution allows customers to increase efficiency in chartering negotiations by streamlining compliance and due diligence processes.

Windward’s AI-powered solution allows stakeholders including banks, commodity traders, insurers, and major energy and shipping companies to make real time, predictive intelligence-driven decisions, providing a 360° view of the maritime ecosystem and its broader impact on safety, security, finance, and business.

The partnership with Windward will allow Sea/’s customers to view a vessel’s risk score within the Sea/ trade platform, ensuring that they only pursue vessels that meet their specific sanctions requirements, saving time by having all relevant information on vessel risk available in one platform.

Windward’s risk scores are categorised based on deceptive shipping practises like Dark Activity, Identity Tampering, Loitering, and Meeting and Port Calls.

Alex Gray, head of commercial partnerships at Sea/ said, “The integration of Windward’s AI platform within Sea/trade will empower our clients with further data and information to assist them in their chartering decisions.

“Collaborating with Windward is a really exciting step for Sea/ and we look forward to the efficiencies it will bring.”

Ami Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Windward said, “Windward’s Predictive Intelligence platform provides real time information for traders, charterers, owners, and brokers alike to go beyond compliance and digitalise their business, enabling them to make intelligence-driven decisions to manage risk and achieve business and operational insights.

“The partnership widens the reach of our sanctions screening service into new areas of the shipping industry and we look forward to developing our global partner programme in 2022.”
