We know great people don’t always check every box. If you’re passionate about what we’re building and think you could make an impact, we want to hear from you. You might bring something we didn’t even know we needed.

Clarity in a complex, data-driven industry
We help clients navigate maritime compliance with data-driven tools – by working with them, not just for them. Be ready to build trust and drive innovation.

A great team that blends maritime, tech, and trust
We’re 35 people across five countries from various cultures and with diverse backgrounds. We really love working with each other from our local offices and come together company-wide at least twice a year. But you’re still missing!
