Know exactly what you're buying.
Marintel gives vessel buyers a structured, AI-validated view of every document that matters — before you commit to a price. Every diligence question answered with sources cited. Every red flag surfaced before it costs you at closing.
The problem you face today
You're buying a vessel. The seller's diligence pack arrives — a 300-page PDF dump organised by their convenience, not yours. The inspection report identifies issues but doesn't tell you if they're typical for this class and age. The chain of title goes back two owners with apostilled documents from three flags. The mortgage has been refinanced twice.
You have three weeks to decide whether to lift subjects on a $20M commitment.
Your lawyer reads contracts. Your inspector reads condition. Your bank reads risk. Nobody reads the full picture, and nobody has time. Marintel reads everything — and tells you what matters.
What Marintel gives you
A continuously-verified view of the vessel you're buying.
- Every seller-provided document automatically classified and validated
- Cross-document inconsistencies flagged before you commit — price mismatches, date sequencing errors, ownership chain gaps
- AI Q&A over the vessel's full vault: ask in plain English, get answers with source citations
- The subjects clock visible to both sides; no more "did they lift?" emails
- Signed proof of every transaction step, verifiable independently by your bank or counsel
You stop reading PDFs. You start making informed commitments.

Features
Built for buyers.
AI-powered diligence Q&A
Ask the platform: "Has this vessel had any conditions of class in the last 5 years?" or "What were the SIRE findings from the most recent inspection?" Marintel finds the answer in the vessel's vault and cites the document.
Cross-document validation
When the seller uploads a Bill of Sale, Marintel checks the price against the MOA. When the seller uploads a Mortgage Release, Marintel checks against the active mortgage register. Your lawyer reviews the legal substance; Marintel does the arithmetic and the timestamp checks.
Subjects period tracking
Subjects Period (SP-3) is where buyers lose deposits. Marintel's subjects tracker shows you exactly which subjects are lifted, which are pending, and when each drop-dead deadline arrives.
Inspection coordination
Your inspector arrives at port. Marintel's structured deficiency capture lets them log findings against specific systems, classes of issue, and rectification status. Trends emerge over time.
Counterparty verification
When you bring in a new bank, lawyer, or surveyor, Marintel's counterparty entity records let you verify they're who they say they are. The KYC pack travels with the entity across all your deals.
Signed proof at closing
Four signed artifacts at closing: Closing Certificate, Ownership Snapshot, Audit Log Export, Validation Reports. Your bank can verify the signatures independently. Your auditor can replay the event history.
