VesselsValue have withdrawn from the superyacht industry UPDATE

VesselsValue has withdrawn from the superyacht market and will stop providing valuations and market data as of 31st August 2024. We appreciate all that our colleagues, partners and customers have done to turn the superyacht dream into a reality. We’ve enjoyed the challenge of valuing such complex, individual vessels, and working with our great customers and partners around the world for the last few years.

Additional data available in our APIs UPDATE

Integrate VV data directly into your own systems with our API feeds. To continue to improve on our comprehensive database of technical vessel specifications we’ve implemented additional data points on topics such as segregated ballast tanks, sizing, speed, battery packs and emissions. Plus, our ultimate beneficial owner management tier is now also available.

Editable portfolios UPDATE

Portfolios allow you to create a singular space to monitor individual and fleet level information for a bespoke group of vessels. Now you can collaborate more effectively with your colleagues by sharing the ability to add and remove vessels from your portfolios. Users who choose to share their portfolios with their colleagues within their company can do so by pressing "share" on the My VV > Portfolios or within the individual portfolio page, same as before.

Colleagues within the same company as the portfolio owner are now able to:

• Add vessels to the portfolio

• Remove vessels from the portfolio

• Rename the portfolio

Portfolio owners are the only ones who are able to:

• Change the shared status of the portfolio to shared or private

• Delete the portfolio
