The enhanced VesselsValue experience UPDATE
Overview
VesselsValue has a new look. This is a full rebuild of our front end, not a coat of paint, designed to make your day-to-day work faster and easier. We've modernised the interface with a clearer layout, easier navigation, and a range of quality of life improvements, while the valuations, market data, and methodology you already rely on stay exactly the same. Your portfolios, saved searches, and alerts all carry over, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Try it now using the Try our new design toggle within VesselsValue.
If you want to go back to the current interface at any time, simply turn the toggle off.
What's new
A redesigned navigation
Menus have moved from across the top to down the side, and the side navigation is now collapsible. Data and tools are grouped together, so it's easier to find what you need. The Stats page has moved to the top level for quick access to an aggregated snapshot of our valuation data.
A smarter quick search
Search now shows everything matching your term, including vessels, companies, and ports, in one place. Use the filters at the top to narrow results by type, and use the recent list to get back to previous searches quickly.
An enhanced landing dashboard
The dashboard now gives you an instant read on the market as soon as you sign in, including a VV Indices strip with a ten-day trend, your recently viewed items, your Portfolios and Saved Searches, and market panels such as Orderbook by Sector, Charter TC Rates, S&P Transactions, Vessel Sector Tracker, Sales Analysis, and Valuation Matrix.
Customisable columns
Shape your tables around your own workflow with customisable columns across all the Databases, including Deals Database, Orderbook, Charts, and Trade Search. They're also available in Stats, Matrix, and on Company and Builder pages.
Improvements to the Vessel page
The historical valuation chart now has up and down indicators, en bloc transactions are clearer in Sales and Newbuild History, and key tables have customisable columns.
A revamped Vessel Comparison tool
Compare vessels with expanded and customisable comparison fields. Accessible from the Fleet and Deals Database.
Steps on how to use this are here.
A cleaner Matrix and Stats Overview
Matrix now opens with a decluttered default view, with the full yearly breakdown one toggle away, plus quick options for percentage change comparisons and a sticky header row for easier scrolling. Stats has the same sticky header, plus an expand button to view tables full screen.
This is just a flavour of what's changed. For answers to common questions, visit the Enhanced VesselsValue FAQs, or reach out to your Account Manager for a demonstration.

Data
Trade Data Enhancements DATA UPGRADE
The Trade Layer now includes 48 additional shipyards, 23 additional ports, and 134 additional terminals. The GIS layer now includes 80 additional Aquaculture layer entries, 3,202 additional Renewables layer entries, and 963 additional Offshore layer entries. You can see the data upgrades on Mapping, Trade, Activity and API modules.
Data Enhancements DATA UPGRADE
Stats data development added 3,064 vessels, captured 2,062 vessel status changes, recorded 5,613 vessel name changes, and identified 5,853 vessel ownership changes.
Several new AI-powered workflows now support the ownership and company database, streamlining web and media intelligence monitoring and multi-source data orchestration. AI handles high-volume monitoring and systematic validation, while the Veson Research team focuses on complex investigations, judgment calls, and cases that require industry expertise. This combination applies technology for breadth and human expertise for depth, which enables earlier detection of management changes, capture of management updates that occur without traditional signals, and fewer blind spots through monitoring at scale.
