Sonar — Major Intelligence Upgrade
Sonar received one of its largest updates since launch.
Natural-language vessel search is now significantly more capable, with improved understanding of vessel capabilities, operational requirements, geographic intent, and structured vessel criteria.
The experience has also been refined with clearer search progress indicators, improved result presentation, better conversation handling, and a redesigned artifact panel that makes it easier to review search results, supporting data, and generated intelligence.
Users can now perform more complex market intelligence searches while receiving faster and more relevant results.
Vessel Intelligence — Richer Vessel Profiles
Vessel pages have been further enhanced to provide a more complete operational view of every asset.
Technical particulars are now easier to read, intelligence sections have been reorganized, and vessel information is presented in a cleaner and more structured layout.
Additional vessel context now includes:
Weather information
Port call visibility
Ownership-related data
Classification records
Historical information
Documentation management
Sanctions visibility
We also introduced a dedicated sanctioned vessels view with export capabilities, helping users perform compliance and due diligence checks more efficiently.
Maps, Alerts & Vessel Monitoring
Monitoring workflows became more powerful throughout May.
Map and globe experiences were improved with smarter clustering, smoother navigation, better viewport behavior, and cleaner vessel visualization.
New watchlist functionality allows users to track vessels of interest over time without creating dedicated geographic alerts.
Alert workflows were also enhanced with:
Improved vessel-list access
Easier alert management
Alert renaming support
Expanded export capabilities
Additional fleet context inside notifications
Several monitoring workflows now include direct contact actions, helping teams move from intelligence to execution more quickly.
Shipowner & Chartering Workflows
May introduced several improvements for vessel owners and commercial teams.
Vessel owners can now manage additional vessel information directly through the platform, including availability data and operational updates.
On the chartering side, we expanded support for:
Anonymous charter requests
Organization-based workflows
Company role management
Vessel creation from IMO-based workflows
These changes continue Seavium's goal of reducing friction between vessel discovery and commercial engagement.
Reports, Documents & Exports
Reporting capabilities were significantly expanded.
Users can now generate more complete exports and comparisons across multiple workflows, including:
Larger vessel comparison reports
Improved comparison PDF exports
Map and card-view PDF exports
Sanctioned vessel exports
Improved document organization across vessel intelligence sections
Print formatting and report readability have also been improved to support operational and commercial reporting.
Platform Performance & Reliability
Throughout May, multiple infrastructure and platform improvements were deployed behind the scenes.
These updates focused on:
Faster platform responsiveness
Reduced CPU usage
Improved monitoring and error tracking
Session reliability improvements
Fresher AIS and vessel intelligence refresh cycles
Dependency and infrastructure upgrades
Several foundational components were also introduced to support future features, including fleet widgets and reusable action systems across the platform.
What This Means for Users
By the end of May, Seavium became significantly stronger for:
Vessel discovery
Market intelligence
Fleet monitoring
Compliance checks
Reporting and exports
Owner-managed vessel availability
Chartering workflows
The most visible improvements were the upgraded Sonar experience, richer vessel intelligence pages, enhanced monitoring tools, expanded exports, and improved owner workflows.
More vessel intelligence, AIS capabilities, automation features, and chartering tools are already in development for June.
