Many operators run capable purchasing software. Yet they face a fragmented supplier landscape. The integration of ShipServ with Ship Manager Procurement gives technical purchasing teams direct access to more than 50,000 pre-vetted suppliers from within existing workflows. Compliance checks, benchmarking, and e-invoicing run in the background. AI-supported insights highlight relevant and reliable suppliers based on performance history, quote quality, and delivery record.
VesselMan adds structured planning and execution for dry-dockings, inspections, and technical projects. Procurement timelines and yard plans align more closely, which improves predictability and reduces administrative work.
A key insight for customers is the combination of procurement analytics and vessel-level reality. Marcura provides deep analytics for procurement. CFARER contributes on-board context through Ship Manager Technical and Ship Manager Analyzer. Decisions based on this data reflect what is happening on the vessel, including maintenance status, open work orders, consumption patterns, and current spare holdings at vessel and fleet level. This helps avoid over-stocking, reduces rush orders, and sources against real technical needs.
Procurement teams need control and timely access to the right suppliers. This partnership delivers both. A number of major shipping companies are already using ShipServ integrated with Ship Manager Procurement. We are now extending this capability to CFARER’s broader client base together
— Sharon Gill, Senior VP, Commercial and Partner Alliances, Marcura.
Our customers operate across every major segment of shipping. Marcura and CFARER share a best-of-breed approach with a strong focus on practical innovation. Together we help fleets work faster and with more confidence, at sea and ashore
— Stian Omli, Chief Commercial Officer, CFARER
Under the agreement, both companies will coordinate onboarding for joint clients. CFARER will exclusively recommend ShipServ for Ship Manager Procurement. VesselMan will be available to operators seeking digitized dry-docking, technical project management, and inspection workflows. Clients gain end-to-end analytics across procurement, maintenance, and QHSE through Ship Manager Analyzer.
This strategic partnership connects the maritime marketplace with the technical heartbeat of the vessel. This combination aligns purchasing with real-time maintenance needs and available spares. The result is faster sourcing, clearer accountability, and projects that stay on schedule.
