Acquired by GDNA Group Ltd in July 2026, ShipsDNA remains the group's flagship data product and a distinct platform for subscribers and developers.

Our operating principles

Practical tools. Controlled access. Evidence before certainty. Our intelligence supports professional judgement and independent verification; it does not replace them.
