Windward’s vessel risk assessment capabilities based on its AI-driven Predictive Intelligence solution will enrich Vortexa’s analytics platform. Vortexa’s real-time and detailed global cargo level information and advanced ship-to-ship tracking data will bolster Windward’s Predictive Maritime Intelligence solution.

Windward’s AI-based risk metrics are now available within Vortexa’s platform at the vessel level, while Vortexa’s cargo data will strengthen Windward’s ability to measure vessel risk more accurately. With the amalgamation of Windward’s and Vortexa’s data, maritime stakeholders can now identify and reduce risk as part of their high-stakes trading and chartering decisions.

“Partnering with Vortexa is a win-win for global maritime intelligence and risk mitigation,” said Ami Daniel, CEO of Windward. “Both companies have highly specialised capabilities and data, and sharing intelligence on certain risk factors will enable each company to continuously improve their offerings so maritime stakeholders can conduct business with confidence.”

“Our partnership with Windward will enable physical trading and tanker chartering opportunities shown at Vortexa’s analytics platform to be analysed together with vessel risk factors provided by Windward,” said Fabio Kuhn, founder and CEO of Vortexa. “This unique combination of predictive intelligence will help our clients to physically trade with a greater level of confidence and avoid some of the most P&L-destroying operational and compliance ‘surprises’.”
