What ChartCo does

ChartCo is a UK-based, private maritime data services and products company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Enfield. It serves commercial shipping companies, cruise lines, energy/maritime operators, and other maritime stakeholders globally (reportedly across 30,000 vessels and more than 1 million seafarers). Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting shipping operators through direct, relationship-led selling.

Its core product surface is a maritime digital ecosystem organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The five interconnected modules are Human Capital Management (crew training, certification and management), Technical Ship Management (maintenance, procurement, inspections, compliance), Governance, Risk & Compliance including the Regs4ships regulatory platform for audit readiness, Voyage Planning & Management (passage planning for ship and shore), and Voyage Performance & Optimisation (voyage optimization, risk management and sustainability). Brand and distribution leverage a 260-year maritime heritage association with Lloyd's Register, and named enterprise customers include Carnival Corporation, CMA CGM, TotalEnergies and NSB Group.

The business model is subscription-based enterprise SaaS for navigation, compliance, ESG and decision support, sold to large maritime operators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is consistent with enterprise B2B contracts. Channel distribution is anchored on a direct enterprise sales team, with content-driven marketing (insights blog, Knowledge Hub, thought leadership reports, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a chart-distribution partnership with Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson Ltd. (April 2023).
