About ShipFinex:
Navigating Maritime Dreams
Our Journey
ShipFinex's journey began with a vision to transform the maritime industry, making ship ownership accessible to all. Our story is one of evolution and adaptation in the face of industry challenges and a changing world.
A New Beginning: ShipFinex
In July 2022, we relaunched ShipFinex, and our first seminar in Dubai garnered industry attention. Our mission is clear: democratize ship ownership through blockchain and fractional ownership.
Today, ShipFinex is more than a platform; it's an invitation to join us on this transformative journey. We celebrate innovation, transparency, and shared ownership in an age-old industry.
Welcome aboard as we navigate the future, together
The Spark:
Blockchain's Potential
In 2017, we encountered blockchain technology—a powerful tool with the potential to reshape traditional industries. Inspired by its decentralized nature, we imagined a future where anyone could become a ship owner.
Crafting the Vision
Our team, including maritime professionals and technologists, came together to craft the blueprint. Fractional ship ownership was the goal, but the industry was not quite ready.
A Pivotal Partnership
A crucial encounter with a visionary ship broker in the Middle East reignited our vision. The question remained: should the community or the ship owners come first?
A World in Transformation
In 2020, the world shifted with the pandemic. Remote work, technology, and innovation took center stage. We knew it was time to revive our project.
Marine Asset Technical Committee (MATC)
The MATC is a pivotal governance body within Shipfinex's framework, designed to ensure fair play and transparency in maritime asset tokenization. It functions as an oversight and adjudicatory panel, focusing on vessel integrity, operational data, and financial data against industry benchmarks, and addressing complaints from Maritime Asset Token (MAT) holders.
