ShipIn raises $52m to expand AI platform

ShipIn has raised US$52 million in new financing to expand its AI-powered operational intelligence platform for commercial shipping.

The funding round includes new investors Proofpoint Capital, HighSage Ventures, Bling Ventures, Framework Venture Partners and Tokio Marine Future Fund, alongside existing investors Zeev Ventures, Munich Re, Atinc and Hyperplane Ventures.

Matt Wallach, Co-founder of Proofpoint Capital and Co-founder of Veeva Systems, has also joined ShipIn’s board of directors.

ShipIn says its platform is currently deployed by 92 shipowners across more than 1,300 vessels. The system combines data from onboard cameras, vessel systems, sensors and applications to provide operational visibility intended to improve safety, productivity and fleet performance.

“Commercial shipping is entering its AI era,” said Osher Perry, Founder and CEO of ShipIn Systems.

“For the first time, AI can transform operational data into operational intelligence. Our mission is to power the connected ship by turning every voyage into a continuous learning cycle: empowering crew, reducing risk and helping shipowners operate safer, smarter and more efficient fleets.”

According to the company, the new funding will support international expansion, product development, strategic partnerships and investment in its intellectual property portfolio.

“The future of marine insurance lies in preventing incidents before they occur,” said Masaru Kusutani, Managing Executive Officer at Tokio Marine Holdings.

“ShipIn provides shipowners with a new level of operational visibility that enables earlier risk identification, safer operations and stronger fleet performance. We believe technologies like ShipIn will play an increasingly important role in improving both the resilience and profitability of global shipping.”
