Vessel score, vetting pressure, management response, company retention — indices built on direct signals from the crews who actually worked onboard. One data layer serves the entire chain: from the seafarer before signing to the bank before a ship-finance covenant review.
Each role looks at the same database for its own decision. Skipi does not build a separate product per audience — banks, brokers and crewings all use a shared signal layer from the crew.
Describe the company and your scenario — we issue a token and run a short onboarding (20–30 minutes). Usually we reply within one working day.
Every review is stored with a server-side HMAC hash — linking a signal to a specific seafarer is technically impossible, even with admin rights. This removes fear of retaliation and keeps the data honest. You receive an aggregated profile, not identifiers.
Skipi is built by a Master Mariner (Captain Tymur Rudov) who is actively at sea and works as a freight broker. The 16-section review catalogue is an expert interpretation, not "a poll with likes". The same expertise shapes the composite-score weights.
Management, owner or flag changes are not smoothed away by averaging. Skipi shows the per-epoch breakdown — visible shifts in vessel condition as management changes. Critical for banks (covenant trigger) and brokers (discarding stale signals post-acquisition).
Every review goes through pending moderation before publication. Obvious anomalies (bot spam, irrelevant sections, retaliatory rage) are filtered out. This is not an open review platform with likes — it is a structured signal layer with manual quality control.
After your access request we verify the corporate domain and role, issue an authorisation token and run a short onboarding (20–30 minutes): walk through the interface, explain how to read the indices, answer protocol questions. Then the team works independently.
For early enterprise partners the tier is free — we are interested in feedback and use-case validation. Enterprise pricing is shaped by the role model and number of users; specific terms are aligned during onboarding.
The vessel database (50k+ vessels) is refreshed through Equasis / RightShip enrichment and our own news-flow collection. Crew reviews go live after a moderation gate (typically 1–3 days). Composite score recalculates with every new review — no batch delay.
Today access is via the Skipi Crewing desktop client (Windows / macOS / Linux). A publicly-available API for the intelligence layer is in progress — prioritisation is driven by early-adopter requests. If you have a critical integration use case (compliance pipeline, treasury system, vetting workflow), tell us during onboarding and we will prioritise.
Equasis exposes registries, inspections, PSC. RightShip provides a vetting baseline. Skipi exposes what only those who have been onboard can see: safety culture, management response, vetting pressure from the inside, payment reliability, attitude to the crew. The signals are complementary — Skipi adds an operational signal on top of paper-clean registries.
