Signal Ocean has acquired Lgmar, the Athens-based company behind the Telix maritime email platform, to expand beyond its core shipping market intelligence offering.
Founded in 1989, Lgmar provides email and communications software used by shipowners, ship managers, brokers, operators, agents and other maritime businesses. Its Telix platform has been in use across the shipping industry for 37 years.
The acquisition brings Lgmar’s technology together with Signal Ocean’s data and analytics capabilities, with the aim of connecting market intelligence more closely with the workflows in which chartering and operational decisions are made.
“Email is an important part of the shipping workflow. Lgmar has spent 37 years earning the trust of this market by getting the details right – the things that matter if you work in shipping,” said Ioannis Martinos, CEO of Signal Ocean.
“That understanding is what we are bringing into Signal, and the immediate priority for clients of both companies is continuity.”
Lgmar Managing Director Helen Skourtis said the decision to join Signal Ocean reflected the importance of finding an owner with an understanding of the shipping industry and the technical capabilities to develop the business.
Signal Ocean was founded in 2014 and previously announced the acquisitions of AXSMarine and Alphaliner earlier in 2026.
