The Equasis maritime information platform has integrated ship-to-ship (STS) transfer data provided by DYNAMARINe, a specialist in offshore cargo transfer operations. This development marks a significant step towards increasing transparency within the maritime industry, particularly concerning the movement of goods between vessels at sea.
This integration follows DYNAMARINe's official approval as an Equasis data provider in late 2023. The intervening period was utilized for necessary platform developments to successfully incorporate DYNAMARINe's extensive dataset into the Equasis system.
For freight forwarders and supply chain analysts, this enhanced data availability means improved visibility into vessel movements and cargo handling practices during STS transfers. Such transparency can be crucial for due diligence, risk management, and ensuring compliance, especially when dealing with sensitive or high-value commodities that undergo offshore transfers. It may also assist in verifying the integrity of the supply chain for specific shipments.
The move is expected to contribute to safer and more accountable maritime operations by providing a centralized source of information on STS activities.
