Intelligence with commercial purpose

Powered by ShipsDNA, applied by maritime practitioners

ShipsDNA is GDNA Group's flagship maritime intelligence platform. Its vessel, market and transaction records help us ask better questions, surface avoidable risks and prepare stronger introductions.

Evidence brought into the mandate

  • Vessel particulars and commercial history
  • Ownership, inspection and casualty context
  • Sale, newbuild, fixture and market intelligence
  • Structured records for screening and comparison

How we work

A disciplined route from enquiry to execution

Not every opportunity is ready for market. We qualify the mandate early, state uncertainties clearly and focus effort where there is a credible commercial path.

01

Define the mandate

We establish the asset, counterparties, timing, jurisdiction and commercial objective.

02

Screen the opportunity

ShipsDNA evidence supports initial vessel, ownership, inspection and market checks.

03

Structure the pathway

We shape the broking, finance or transition route and identify credible counterparties.

04

Support execution

We coordinate introductions, information flow and agreed transaction milestones.

Where we work

Rooted in Europe and West Africa, connected outward

Our network is strongest where our experience is deepest, while we continue to develop trusted counterpart relationships across major maritime centres.

Core presence

London and West Africa, with direct understanding of regional operating and ownership conditions.

Active network

European owners, financiers and service providers, including relationships in Türkiye.

Developing corridors

Singapore, the Middle East, Far East Asia and North America through carefully selected counterparties.

Bring us the transaction, asset or funding question.

A concise mandate is enough to begin. We will review it and tell you the most credible next step.
