尊敬的商务经理：
By the time a ship is alongside, the supplier has usually been chosen.
Provisions, spare parts, agency and survey decisions are made in the ship manager's office before the vessel arrives. The company that reaches that person the same day gets a seat at the table.
Today that means watching tracking sites by hand, digging through ship registers and writing e-mails one by one in a foreign language. VesselCall runs the whole chain for you.
The flow
From detection to inbox in four steps.
-
01 Detect
You set a range in nautical miles for each port. When a commercial vessel enters it, AIS data picks it up; tugs, fishing boats and pleasure craft are filtered out.
-
02 Identify
The IMO number leads to the ship manager, ISM manager and registered owner in international ship registers. The ship manager comes first.
-
03 Find
The company's business e-mail is found on its official website and other public sources, verified and stored. The same company is never searched twice.
-
04 Send
Your Turkish introduction is translated into the recipient's language and sent from your own domain. Replies land straight in your inbox.
Two products, one data backbone.
Detects approaching vessels, finds their managers and sends your introduction in their language, on your behalf.

You stay in control
Repeat limits, one-click opt-out and sanctions screening run on every send.
For every company that serves ships in port.
All industries-
Ship chandlers
Provisions orders are often placed before the vessel arrives. VesselCall detects approaching vessels, finds their manager and sends your introduction in the manager's language, from your own domain.
-
Ship agents
Port agents are usually appointed before the vessel arrives. VesselCall introduces your agency to the managers of vessels approaching your port, and VesselCall Data shows who calls there most.
-
Technical services and spare parts
In an emergency, technical teams turn to companies they already know. VesselCall introduces your company to managers of approaching vessels, in their language, before a need arises.
-
Shipyards and ship repair
Docking decisions are usually made months ahead, from a shortlist of yards. VesselCall introduces your yard to managers of vessels approaching Turkish ports and shows which fleets call regularly.
-
Bunker and lubricants
Bunker stems are often fixed before the vessel arrives, by the operator or charterer. VesselCall introduces you to managers of approaching vessels and screens out sanctioned ones first.
-
Marine surveyors
Survey appointments often go to firms the manager already knows or to correspondent networks. VesselCall introduces your services to managers of approaching vessels and helps you know the vessel first.
