New digital company Nauticworx launches workboat availability platform

Nauticworx, a recently founded Dutch digital company by Friso Visser and Björn Smets, has officially launched its workboat availability platform at the SMM 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. The platform enables fleet owners, charterers, and brokers to connect with the right vessels at the right time.

The platform addresses the need for a reliable, efficient, and secure way to match available workboats with urgent offshore, maritime or port projects. The platform’s innovative approach allows users to expand or shrink their operations with ease, ensuring maximum efficiency and profitability in an industry where timing is crucial.

The platform provides a user-friendly, seamless – and safe – solution for chartering regional workboats on the spot market in a digital environment that keeps participants anonymous until they choose not to be. In addition, by only offering workboats in an 800 nm radius, significant time & fuel savings are made when deploying vessels on the spot market.

The platform is based on fixed subscription rates with no hidden fees or brokerage charges, and lower operational cost due to local/regional availability.

“We’re excited to unveil Nauticworx.com at SMM 2024,” says Friso Visser, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Nauticworx. “It’s great to see that the ideas we had a year ago have come to life – and go live – for which in part we have to thank our digital technology partner iQuality and John van Beek with whom we’ve been working so hard in the past months. Also, I am very grateful to all the people in the chartering, brokerage, offshore construction, oil & gas, towage, supply, and wind energy sectors that advised and helped us define the most pressing needs of the industry, both as to asset availability and the related commercial processes. All their feedback has been inserted in the platform, making it, we think, a truly valuable tool for those in need of a spot workboat or those with downtime on their hands.”

“We believe Nauticworx.com will become a useful tool in the maritime industry, particularly for those operating in the spot market,” says Björn Smets, Co-Founder and Operations Director of Nauticworx. “Our platform is not just about connecting vessels and projects; it’s about doing so in a way that enhances profitability, sustainability, and overall operational efficiency. We are about preventing project delays, cutting cost, reducing fuel consumption, filling up downtime gaps and ensuring the availability of fit-for-purpose vessels, to summarise. It’s just a no-nonsense, smarter, faster way to manage maritime operations.” Source: Nauticworx Image: Friso Visser, Managing Director / Co-founder Nauticworx at SMM
