What MAJOR DENIZCILIK VE DIS TIC.LTD.STI. does

MAJOR DENIZCILIK VE DIS TIC.LTD.STI., operating under the trade name MAJOR SHIPPING, is a Turkish shipping and chartering firm headquartered in Mersin, Türkiye. The company cites approximately 30 years of experience in vessel and cargo chartering (with a noted discrepancy between founding dates of 1996 and 2012 across sources) and is repositioning itself from a traditional shipping operator into a software vendor serving the chartering market.

Its core product is the MAJOR Chartering AI System, a cloud-based platform developed in collaboration with TIE TRADE SOFTWARE. The platform combines three modules: Vessel Matching (live open-position management with region and tonnage filters), Cargo Matching (a structured cargo database with laycan tracking), and an AI Email Engine that generates professional offer emails through a native Microsoft Outlook integration. The system is described as performing smart vessel-to-cargo pairing in seconds and is delivered as an annual per-device subscription license, with payment processing handled via iyzico.

The company targets modern chartering brokers seeking to replace manual matching and communication workflows. Distribution is direct and digital: customers purchase a license through the company website and access the system through an authenticated client portal. The website is offered in English, Turkish, and German, suggesting an international broker audience. The product is presently listed as 'Coming Soon' with the client portal marked 'Under Maintenance,' indicating an early commercialization stage. The company has 8 employees and no disclosed revenue, funding history, or named customer accounts.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Flexport: Flexport is a large digital freight forwarder offering ocean, air, and trucking services backed by its own technology platform. It represents a broad incumbent that uses proprietary software to manage vessel and cargo workflows analogous to those MAJOR is digitizing for charterers.
• Xeneta: Xeneta is a leading ocean and air freight rate intelligence platform serving shippers, carriers, and forwarders. It is a broader incumbent in the data-driven freight marketplace that includes chartering-relevant data and overlaps with the analytical capabilities of MAJOR's AI engine.
• Kpler: Kpler provides commodity and freight data intelligence across maritime, energy, and dry bulk markets. It is a broader incumbent that competes for analytical data budgets at chartering desks and shipping trading floors where MAJOR targets its users.

Direct peers

• Veson Nautical: Veson Nautical's IMOS platform is the dominant voyage-management and chartering system used by shipowners, operators, and charterers globally. It is the most direct comparable to MAJOR Chartering AI's vessel-cargo matching workflow, although Veson is a far broader and more established suite.
• Shipfix: Shipfix provides a data and collaboration platform for shipping desks, including vessel position data and workflow tools for chartering brokers. It directly overlaps with MAJOR's vessel matching and email-driven offer workflows and represents a similarly modern, AI/data-driven challenger.
• CargoSmart: CargoSmart offers vessel schedules, cargo matching, and shipping visibility tools used by ocean carriers and freight forwarders. Its cargo-matching and schedule capabilities overlap directly with MAJOR's vessel and cargo matching modules.
• Dataloy Systems: Dataloy Systems offers a voyage management and chartering platform used by shipowners and operators. It is a direct competitor in the voyage-management category that MAJOR Chartering AI is targeting, with overlapping functionality around cargo and vessel matching.

Emerging players

• Windward: Windward applies AI to maritime domain awareness, vessel tracking, and trade-flow prediction for shipping, trade finance, and government customers. It is an emerging player using AI in the maritime data space and competes for the same AI-driven shipping intelligence budget that supports MAJOR's matching engine.
• Signal Maritime: Signal Maritime provides a tanker and dry bulk market intelligence platform for shipowners, operators, and charterers. It is an emerging player in shipping data and workflow tools that overlaps with MAJOR's target user base of chartering brokers.

Others

• MarineTraffic: MarineTraffic (part of Kpler) operates a global vessel tracking platform providing AIS-based position data. It is an adjacent data provider whose vessel position data underpins many chartering workflows, comparable to MAJOR's live vessel position management module.
