Looking for Procureship for Offshore Vessels? Here's Why You Won't Find It
Procureship has built a genuinely well-regarded e-procurement platform for the maritime industry, connecting shipowners and operators with suppliers for parts, provisions, and services. But it solves a purchasing problem, not a chartering one. If you're an offshore charterer and Procureship's name came up, here's the honest picture.

Why you won't find offshore chartering support at Procureship
If you're an offshore charterer looking at Procureship, a few things are worth knowing before signing up.
Purchasing, not chartering. Procureship connects purchasing managers with suppliers for parts, provisions, and services — a fundamentally different function from chartering a vessel.
Different users entirely. Procureship serves purchasing and procurement teams. Seavium serves chartering desks sourcing available vessels.
Merchant fleet focus. Procureship's client base is cargo and merchant shipping (LNG, dry bulk); there's no indication of dedicated offshore support vessel coverage.
What Seavium does — built for a different job entirely
Chartering, not procurement. Seavium is built for finding and comparing available offshore vessels, not buying parts or supplies.
Offshore-native criteria. DP class, POB, deck area, and draft are core to Seavium's data model.
Different data, different workflow entirely from a supplier and purchasing marketplace.
Predictable subscription pricing built for offshore chartering teams.
Procureship pricing breakdown
Procureship does not publish pricing publicly. Its service-oriented model — combining the platform with dedicated procurement support — is typically arranged directly with shipowners, operators, and managers.
