A maritime technology
startup building digital solutions
for the global shipping industry
Located in Dubai, Records Marine is developing a platform that connects shipowners, ship managers, operators, procurement teams, suppliers, manufacturers, and maritime service providers.
A fragmented market, one digital environment
The challenge
The maritime industry relies on a large network of businesses that supply, maintain, repair, inspect, equip, and support vessels. Yet information about these companies is often fragmented across supplier databases, personal contacts, emails, industry networks, and local directories.
Our answer
Records Marine brings this information together in one digital environment and is developing tools to support maritime sourcing and procurement.
What we are building
Records Marine is developing two core areas: a maritime database and an RFQ platform for maritime procurement.

Countries covered
Our database brings together companies across the maritime supply and service ecosystem. Users can discover potential partners by category, location, port, products, and services.
The platform covers a broad range of maritime activities, including:
ship chandlery and vessel supplies;
marine equipment and spare parts;
technical and engineering services;
ship repair and maintenance;
underwater and diving services;
electrical and automation services;
inspection, testing, and certification;
tank cleaning and related services;
safety and firefighting services;
shipyards and dry docks;
shipbuilding and conversion;
port agency and port services;
environmental and waste-management services;
logistics and other specialized maritime services.
Records Marine helps maritime professionals find not only what they need, but also who can provide the expertise required to install, maintain, repair, inspect, or support it.

Records Marine offers an RFQ platform for maritime procurement to make the process of requesting offers more structured. Maritime buyers can describe their requirements, identify relevant companies, and request offers from suppliers and service providers. This is particularly relevant to technical services, where requirements can depend on the vessel, location, type of work, equipment, and required timeframe.
THE PROCESS IS STRAIGHTFORWARD:

Our aim is to simplify the sourcing process while keeping professional evaluation and due diligence at the center of procurement decisions.
A broader focus on maritime procurement
Digital platforms already play an important role in areas such as spare parts, ship chandlery, provisions, and marine equipment procurement.
There is considerably less digital infrastructure built around the broad range of technical services required by vessels.
Records Marine is developing its platform with both areas in mind — maritime supply and technical services. This broader focus is one of the key differences between Records Marine and platforms built primarily around physical product procurement.
Built for both buyers and maritime businesses
Records Marine serves both sides of the maritime marketplace.
For maritime buyers
For shipowners, ship managers, operators, procurement teams, and other maritime buyers, the platform provides a structured way to discover potential suppliers and service providers across countries, ports, and categories.
For maritime businesses
For suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and service providers, it provides a digital environment to present their products, capabilities, locations, and areas of expertise to an international maritime audience.
This creates a direct connection between maritime requirements and the businesses that can meet them.
Our development areas
Records Marine continues to expand its capabilities in several key areas:
Maritime database
Expanding coverage of maritime suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, shipyards, and other businesses.
RFQ platform
Developing digital tools that make it easier to communicate requirements and request offers.
Maritime marketplace
Expanding digital procurement for maritime products and services.
Technical services
Strengthening coverage of specialized vessel maintenance, repair, inspection, engineering, and other services.
AI and search
Developing smarter ways to search, organize, and use maritime information.
International expansion
Growing coverage across major shipping markets and ports.
Our development is guided by a simple principle: digital tools should make maritime information and procurement easier to access without replacing professional expertise or established due-diligence processes.
Records Marine has an ambitious long-term vision:
to become a trusted digital connection point for maritime supply and services worldwide.
We aim to build a platform that helps maritime businesses navigate a fragmented market more easily and gives suppliers and service providers greater visibility among potential customers.
As the platform develops, we will continue to expand its coverage and functionality to support more of the industry's sourcing and procurement needs.
