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.
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.

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.

Our Mission and Vision
Mission: To make vessel sale and purchase opportunities easier to discover, understand, and act on worldwide.
Vision: To build a global maritime marketplace where language and distance no longer prevent the right buyers, sellers, shipowners, and brokers from finding each other.
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.
Ships.trade is still actively evolving, and I'd genuinely like the people who work with vessels every day to help shape where it goes next. If something is missing, could work better, or would make your daily work easier, tell me.
Your ideas can directly influence what I build next. The goal is simple: you get tools that are more useful for your work, and together we make Ships.trade better.
