About ShipsDNA

Maritime experience, made more useful through data

ShipsDNA is the flagship maritime intelligence platform of GDNA Group, supporting better commercial research, due diligence and technology integration.

Our direction

Built for people making maritime decisions

ShipsDNA began with a practical observation: important vessel and market information is often dispersed, inconsistently structured and difficult to connect to the decision at hand.

The platform brings those records together through focused data products, vessel workflows, market dashboards and governed API access. It is designed for maritime professionals who need to move from a question to supporting evidence without losing sight of provenance, access rights or commercial context.

ShipsDNA and GDNA Group

In July 2026, ShipsDNA was acquired by GDNA Group Ltd. The combination brings ShipsDNA’s maritime data platform together with GDNA Group’s brokerage, finance and advisory capability. ShipsDNA remains the group’s flagship data product and a distinct platform for subscribers and developers.

Our operating principles

Useful, controlled and honest about uncertainty

Maritime records change. ShipsDNA is designed to make those records easier to inspect while remaining clear that professional decisions still require judgement and independent verification.

Practical over ornamental

Features are designed around recognisable work rather than generic technology demonstrations.

Access follows entitlement

Private data remains behind authenticated, server-verified access and approved commercial boundaries.

Evidence before certainty

Data supports decisions but does not pretend to replace authoritative legal, class, survey or regulatory sources.
