Skagerak Capital has sold maritime software provider VesselMan to Marcura for an undisclosed sum.
In partnership with Møkster and Grieg as co-investors, Skagerak Capital scaled VesselMan’s operations. VesselMan provides cloud-based platform for managing technical projects such as dry-dockings, inspections, and refits.
Founded in 2001, Dubai-headquartered Marcura’s enterprise suite includes PortLog, DA-Desk, MarTrust, ShipServ, ClaimsHub, and MCaaS.
“As the venture capital landscape evolves, cash-positive, operationally sound companies are becoming increasingly attractive to investors. This aligns seamlessly with our investment strategy, emphasizing B2B Saas companies that combine financial stability with innovative solutions in sectors like AI and climate tech. VesselMan is a prime example of how this approach fosters sustainable growth and successful outcomes,” Skagerak Capital said in a release.
The last two years have seen dramatic, much-needed consolidation across the fragmented maritime tech space. Writing for Splash last month, Manish Singh from Aboutships predicted 2025 will see similar levels of activity.
“The pipeline for 2025 appears robust,” Singh wrote. “Several prominent maritime strategics are sitting on large reserves, which they are seeking to deploy not only on fleet revitalisations but also on acquiring services businesses. Similarly, several prominent PEs have now spent significant shoe-leather cost in pursuing maritime processes and becoming more focused in specific consolidation opportunities in the next couple of years.”
