Offshore Vessel Databases: How Charterers Can Finally Save Time and Money

For decades, chartering an offshore vessel meant juggling multiple calls, chasing brokers, and scrolling through outdated vessel lists. Ask any project manager or marine coordinator: finding the right tug, multicat, guard vessel, or CTV has always been a game of incomplete information.

It’s no surprise that “offshore vessel database / list / marketplace” is one of the most common Google searches in our industry. Every charterer wants the same three things:

A complete, up-to-date list of available vessels.
A way to compare specs and prices quickly.
Confidence they are making the best decision for their project.

This article breaks down how the industry got here — and how Seavium is reshaping the way charterers work.

Why the Old Way Doesn’t Work Anymore

Fragmented data: one broker has a spreadsheet, another has WhatsApp groups, another has PDFs from owners. None are standardized.
No transparency on rates: you often don’t know what’s a fair daily hire until weeks into negotiations.
Time lost: instead of focusing on the operation, chartering teams spend hours collecting information.
Geographic blind spots: finding a vessel “nearby” is often impossible without AIS tools or local intel.

Meanwhile, projects get delayed, costs rise, and owners struggle to showcase their vessels effectively.

What Charterers Actually Search For

We analyzed hundreds of queries from charterers and brokers. The most common?

“Guard vessel for charter North Sea”
“CTV hire France daily rate”
“Multicat availability Mediterranean”
“Offshore tug list Europe”

These aren’t abstract searches — they’re urgent needs. Each one is a project manager or chartering officer under pressure, trying to solve a problem fast.

Enter Seavium: The Offshore Vessel Marketplace

Seavium was designed with one mission: make vessel chartering as simple as booking a flight.

Global coverage with AIS integration to see positions in real time.
Standardized technical sheets for every vessel, ready to compare.
Smart filters for DP class, bollard pull, fuel capacity, deck space, and more.
