What Martide does

Martide Pte. Ltd., incorporated in Singapore in 2017, operates an integrated maritime workforce platform that combines a seafarer-facing recruitment marketplace, B2B crew management software, a manning agency (Martide Manning Latvia, established in Riga in 2025), and online seafarer training courses. The core product is a cloud-based crew management system featuring a searchable seafarer database, color-coded crew planning, secure document management for licenses, certificates, and contracts, and a seafarer self-service portal accessible via web and a native mobile app on iOS and Android. The platform runs on AWS infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and uses Cloudflare for content delivery, with HubSpot and Copper CRM supporting its enterprise sales motion.

The company serves three primary customer segments: shipping companies and fleet operators that need crew management software, manning agencies that recruit seafarers on behalf of ship owners, and individual seafarers (deck and engine officers, ratings, cruise staff) who use the platform to build resumes and apply for jobs. Named enterprise users include Nordic Hamburg (90 vessels managed), Marine MAN Ltd (21 vessel types), OSM Maritime, SeaCrest Maritime Management, Inter Gulf Marine, Admiral Crew Management, and Ocean Transport Group of Companies. The free seafarer and employer job-posting model drives marketplace liquidity, while enterprise SaaS subscriptions, the Latvia manning agency services, and paid online training courses are the monetization paths.

The business model is hybrid: freemium marketplace access for seafarers and SMB employers, demo-based enterprise sales for crew management software with pricing not publicly disclosed, professional services revenue from the Latvian manning agency, and recurring revenue from online maritime training courses delivered via virtual classrooms. The company is privately held, discloses no external funding rounds or investors, and operates from two offices (Singapore headquarters and Riga, Latvia).
