Closelink has once again been recognized as one of the Top 150 most innovative companies in the maritime industry by Thetius, the leading intelligence platform for maritime innovation and technology. Each year, Thetius highlights the companies driving the digital transformation of global shipping, making this recognition a strong endorsement of our impact on the industry.
Marine lubricants are one of the top cost drivers in ship management, yet procurement processes have traditionally been manual, fragmented, and time-intensive. At Closelink, our mission is clear: to make marine procurement more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective.
By automating real-time data collection and turning it into actionable insights, we empower procurement teams to build resilient strategies, reduce workload, and achieve tangible cost savings.
Over the past year, we’ve taken important steps to advance that mission:
- A new standard for enquiries and order handling – Through the first-of-its-kind integration with Chevron’s OnePort, Closelink enabled instant order handling between the two platforms, reducing manual effort and unlocking new levels of automation.
- Expanding connectivity for smarter decisions – New integrations with NAVTOR and StormGeo bring real-time operational data directly into procurement workflows, enabling faster and better-informed decision-making.
- Opening up procurement data flows – With the launch of our public API, shipping companies and technology providers can now seamlessly connect Closelink to existing systems for a more unified digital workflow.
These milestones translate directly into real-world value: cost savings, improved transparency, reduced administrative workload, and greater confidence in every procurement decision.
Innovation in maritime procurement doesn’t happen in isolation. It is built on the trust and collaboration we share with our customers and partners, many of whom are also featured in this year’s Thetius 150. We’re proud to be recognized alongside them and excited to continue shaping the future of maritime procurement together.
