TURN MARITIME INTELLIGENCE INTO BUSINESS GROWTH

Windward’s Maritime Business Intelligence solution uses Maritime AI™ to turn global vessel activity, cargo flows, and trading behavior into actionable commercial insights. It helps organizations identify qualified leads, track market shifts, and uncover new trading, bunkering, and growth opportunities earlier than traditional market intelligence tools.

The solution is built for bunker traders, shipowners, commodity traders, financial institutions, insurers, and commercial strategy teams that rely on maritime activity to generate revenue, prioritize opportunities, and understand market dynamics in real time.

Windward surfaces high-potential commercial opportunities by monitoring vessel movements, ownership patterns, and trading behavior. Users can set customized alerts to identify vessels entering new regions, operating outside normal patterns, or linked to companies they have previously worked with, allowing teams to engage earlier and more confidently.

Windward identifies commercial opportunities by analyzing how vessels actually operate across ports, regions, and trade routes. This includes vessels approaching ports with likely service or bunkering needs, ships entering new regions or operating outside their usual patterns, and vessels linked to companies with existing or prior commercial relationships. By monitoring real-time behavior and historical activity, Windward helps teams spot opportunities that are emerging now, not after they appear in traditional market reports.

Windward tracks trading patterns and market shifts by combining global vessel movement data with its Early Detection models and Search and Analytics capabilities. The platform analyzes changes in vessel behavior, port activity, and cargo-related movements over time to identify emerging trends, such as shifting trade lanes, growing bunkering demand, or changes in vessel concentration. Users can explore these patterns through targeted searches and historical analysis, enabling earlier visibility into market shifts before they are reflected in traditional reports or price signals.

Windward provides visibility into company-specific vessel activity, operational overlap, and port presence. Users can analyze which competitors are active in specific ports or regions, identify lost-business vessels returning to market, and benchmark behaviors such as average anchoring or laytime to understand competitive positioning.

The solution is powered by Windward’s Maritime AI™, which fuses global AIS data, vessel ownership and company intelligence, port call history, cargo and commodity insights, and behavioral analytics. This multi-source approach ensures insights are grounded in real operational activity, not assumptions.

Unlike static reports or manual data analysis, Windward delivers automated, real-time intelligence driven by AI and behavioral analytics. It focuses on what vessels are actually doing, not just where they are registered or scheduled to be, allowing commercial teams to act faster and with greater confidence.

Absolutely. Users can define specific ports, regions, vessel types, companies, and behaviors to monitor. Alerts and insights are fully configurable, ensuring each organization receives intelligence aligned with its unique commercial goals and target markets.
