What Prosmar does

Prosmar Risk AS, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Lysaker, Norway, is a specialist provider of SaaS business intelligence and risk management software for bulk commodity and freight trading companies. Its core offering, the Prosmar Risk System, is a web-based platform that integrates with all major Vessel Management Systems (VMS) to aggregate fleet positions, bunker exposures, FFA trades, and carbon allowances into a single risk environment. The platform is built as a modular architecture, with add-on modules covering hedge inventory linking and invoicing (Hedge Manager), VMS data ingestion and cleansing (Data Center with 170+ predefined functions), mark-to-market and custom curve reporting, regional peg-adjusted geographical exposure (World Map & Pegs), Monte Carlo-based Value at Risk, and a newly introduced Data Lake that captures daily position snapshots for price/volume decomposition and risk-adjusted performance analytics (Sharpe, Treynor, VaR vs Returns).

Regulatory compliance is a central pillar of the product strategy. The EU ETS Module automates EUA allocation across voyages and reduces operator workload by 10-15 minutes per voyage; the FuelEU Maritime System provides end-to-end FuelEU compliance with a pooling marketplace for multi-company pooling; and the FuelEU Maritime Pooling Framework, developed with Norwegian law firm Thommessen in early 2025, supplies a legally validated contract structure for participants in those pools. Underlying integrations include plug-and-play APIs that export VaR and data lake analytics to internal systems and an IMOS commodity trade integration.

Prosmar operates a direct enterprise sales model with a 'Book a Demo' funnel, serving named customers such as Hafnia, Pacific Basin, Norvic, Thoresen, Maersk Tankers, ClipperBulk, and WesternBulk. Revenue is generated through subscription-based SaaS contracts (pricing undisclosed), and the company achieved SOC2 Type 1 certification in June 2024. Ownership appears founder/management-led with no disclosed external funding rounds, and headcount is reported in the 11-50 range.
