A maritime network connecting shipowners, operators and offshore businesses with trusted suppliers, specialist services and commercial opportunities worldwide.
We take time to understand the businesses in our network and the value they bring to maritime clients.
We review relevant company information, credentials and experience to support informed introductions.
We focus on relevant expertise and dependable relationships rather than the size of a directory.
Finding the right maritime partner should be straightforward, informed and built around your business needs.
Oceanvex Maritime & Offshore Partners, formerly Shipssearch, connects companies and decision-makers across shipping and offshore. Our areas of focus include ship sale and charter, marine fuels, crewing, shipbuilding and repair, equipment, technical services and maritime security.
We take a considered approach to every relationship. We learn about each company’s capabilities, handle requirements with care and make introductions based on the needs of the client and the expertise of the provider.
Our approach is practical: understand the requirement, identify suitable partners and help create the conditions for a lasting business relationship.
Tell us what you need, whether it is spares, bunkers, shipyard services, a vessel, crew, security or a strategic partner.
We review the requirement and identify relevant companies from our network, taking care with the information you share.
Where there is a fit, we facilitate the introduction and help both sides progress the conversation.
Use the Oceanvex vessel tracker to look up ships by name, IMO number or fleet, review vessel particulars and view available position, next-port and arrival information to help plan port supplies.
Positions are based on publicly available AIS broadcasts. Coverage varies by area and reception; vessels operating far offshore may not appear or may have delayed position updates.

I founded Oceanvex in Singapore in 2024, initially under the name Shipssearch, with a clear belief: strong maritime businesses grow through trusted relationships and the right opportunities.
My experience has reinforced the value of meaningful connections over a long list of contacts. I take time to understand the companies we work with and aim to connect each requirement with partners whose experience and capabilities are a good fit.
For me, business is about people, consistency and mutual respect. I believe lasting partnerships are built by listening carefully, understanding each other’s goals and creating value for everyone involved.
