THE COMMERCIAL GAP
The vessel arrives.
The sales window started earlier.
Most maritime businesses know their ports. The harder part is knowing which vessels to approach, who makes the decision, and when to start talking.
02
Too much manual research
Finding the relevant managing company and the person who can actually say yes takes time.
03
Too many missed follow-ups
Messages, callbacks, enquiries and documents get scattered across teams and channels.

The right contact matters more than sending more messages. VesselReach brings company targeting, decision-maker discovery, and outreach into one motion.

03 / PHONE
Turn outreach into a call.
AI-initiated calls reach decision-makers. When someone needs a human, connect your representative through the mobile app.
Your enquiry needs a representative.

Outreach should respect recipient preferences, consent requirements and applicable messaging regulations.
AI + HUMAN HANDOFF
AI handles the routine.
People handle what matters.
When someone replies, VesselReach can answer supported questions, share approved brochures or company profiles, and follow up at the right time.
If the AI cannot answer reliably, it doesn't invent one. It escalates the conversation to your team, including direct call connection through the Android and iOS apps.

It targets vessels near your selected ports and vessels scheduled or expected to arrive there, subject to the available vessel information.
How do I find ship owners and decision-makers?
VesselReach identifies the ship management company and vessel decision-makers behind each vessel, including operations, fleet, procurement, commercial and senior executive roles, where contact information is available.
How does VesselReach reach decision-makers?
VesselReach reaches decision-makers by email, WhatsApp and phone calls, with follow-ups when a recipient requests one or does not reply, subject to configured rules and applicable regulations.
What if the AI doesn't know the answer?
