What Splash 247 does

Splash 247, operated by Singapore-incorporated Splash Maritime Group Pte Ltd, is a digital B2B media company focused exclusively on the global maritime and offshore sector. The core product is a multi-platform news publication covering 14 industry verticals (containers, dry cargo, tankers, gas, offshore, renewables, regulatory, environment, shipyards, ports and logistics, finance and insurance, bunkering, operations, and technology) and 6 geographic regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Greater China, and Middle East). The platform is supplemented by dedicated verticals (Splash Ports and SplashTech), premium publications (Splash Reports magazine, Splash Extra, and special reports such as Shipmanagement Market Report 2026 and Maritime CEO Annual Outlook 2026), three annual executive events (Geneva Dry, Splash Singapore, Maritime CEO Forum Monaco), a maritime jobs board, and native mobile applications on iOS and Android. Distribution spans a primary website (splash247.com), three email newsletters (Daily Splash, Splash Ports Watch, SplashTech), RSS, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X, reaching a cited base of 10,000+ daily newsletter readers.

The business monetizes through four primary revenue streams: digital advertising (display, sponsored content, newsletter banners) targeting maritime industry professionals; event hosting (attendance fees, sponsorships, exhibitor fees for the three annual conferences); publications and premium reports (Splash Reports magazine and special reports); and recruitment advertising via the Splash Jobs board. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; basic newsletter access appears freemium while premium reports are gated. The GTM motion is product-led: free high-frequency content drives newsletter signups and event awareness, which in turn funnels advertising, sponsorship, and premium publication revenue. The company is privately held, headquartered in Singapore at 36 Robinson Road, and operates with an 11–50 person team.
