Bring the right buyers to your vessel listings

A listing creates an opportunity. A subscription helps you spot matching demand and contact more counterparties sooner. Paid promotion gives selected vessels extra visibility where buyers are already searching.

Start free, then invest only when you want more speed, reach, or visibility.

Free is $0. Pro is $49/month. Enterprise is $199/month. Annual billing saves two months. Promotion is purchased separately by impressions.

Choose the advantage you need now

Enter the market at no cost. Upgrade for faster deal discovery and more outreach, or add promotion when a particular vessel needs extra attention.

Free — $0

Publish sale listings and Wanted Requests, search the marketplace, receive weekly matches, and send up to 10 messages a day.

Pro — $49/month

Act on opportunities every day with daily matching, up to 100 messages a day, automatic message translation, advanced statistics, and workflow tools.

Enterprise — $199/month

Cover the market faster with instant matching, up to 1,000 messages a day, API access, a company mailbox, and a branded subdomain.

Vessel promotion — flexible budget

Choose the vessels, placements, countries, schedule, and number of impressions. See the estimated cost before you launch and keep promotion separate from your subscription.

What would make your work easier?

Hi, I'm Dimitry Ivanov, founder of Ships.trade and a principal engineer with 30 years of experience building software products. I've been involved with online projects in the maritime sector since 2005, and I've been developing Ships.trade since 2019.

I'd like to use that experience to make your day-to-day work easier.

When buying or selling a vessel, what takes more time than it should?

Tell me about something that slows you down, something you wish Ships.trade could do, or an idea you'd like to share. You don't need to have a solution - a sentence or two is enough.
