Westwood Launches MarineLogix to Deliver Next-Generation Offshore Vessel Intelligence

Westwood Global Energy Group launched MarineLogix on February 3, 2026, a new offshore vessel intelligence platform that brings together vessel profiles, interactive mapping, market analytics, and news to provide comprehensive visibility of offshore vessel activity, availability, and performance across more than 10,000 vessels, 2,500 owners, and over 30 vessel classes worldwide. The platform covers the global offshore support, service, and wind-related fleets serving the energy industry. Purpose-built utilization methodology: At the core of MarineLogix is a proprietary AIS utilization methodology developed to provide a consistent, like-for-like measure of offshore vessel activity. Rather than relying on generic movement-based metrics, the platform processes large volumes of AIS data to construct continuous activity timelines that reflect actual offshore working behavior — distinguishing between transit, standby, active operations, and idle time. This addresses a persistent industry challenge where inconsistent activity data causes late deployment decisions, missed pricing opportunities, and unreliable benchmarking across vessel classes and regions. Value for fleet operators and charterers: MarineLogix enables benchmarking by region, vessel class, and market segment, giving offshore operators and charterers the intelligence to compare vessel performance against market standards. The platform provides insight into fleet availability patterns, utilization trends, and competitive positioning — intelligence that directly supports chartering decisions, fleet planning, and investment timing. CEO Dominic Ferry stated: "MarineLogix is the natural next step in expanding Westwood's OffshoreLogix environment." He emphasized that the platform "complements vessel intelligence with insights across rigs, subsea, platforms, and offshore wind, giving decision-makers a more holistic understanding of market movements." For ship managers operating in the offshore sector, MarineLogix represents the maturation of vessel intelligence from basic AIS tracking to AI-driven market analytics — providing the contextual understanding needed to optimize fleet deployment, negotiate charter rates with data-backed positioning, and identify market opportunities before competitors.
