Jason Poh, Chief Financial Officer at Stamford Shipping, shares his company’s experience using the VesselsValue platform to achieve accurate reporting, stakeholder alignment, and enhanced market knowledge.
The Challenge
It’s critical for owner-operators to have a consistent pulse on the market to effectively inform predictions and influence stakeholders’ decisions. From an investment perspective, Stamford’s core needs are to attract, deploy, and monitor its portfolio in real time.
But without a comprehensive dataset, accessing real-time transaction data can be difficult, impacting pricing accuracy and the ability to make smart investment decisions. Stamford knew they needed a solution that went beyond a standard reporting tool so they could source potential opportunities and illuminate these ideas with their investors.
Key Outcomes:
- Accurate, transparent reporting
- Stakeholder alignment and buy-in
- Enhanced market knowledge
“The platform goes beyond a simple reporting tool; we leveraged the data to source future investment ideas, as well as illuminate these ideas to our investors.”
—Jason Poh, Chief Financial Officer, Stamford Shipping
The Solution
VesselsValue provides a comprehensive database with daily valuations and historical data on the world’s fleet. The platform assists with identifying market trends and making logical judgements on what’s to come.
The platform’s transaction data and pricing initially attracted Stamford for its ability to compare different Bulker and Tanker vessels objectively. Since subscribing to the platform’s core vessel transaction and valuation data, Stamford has grown their subscription—going beyond a simple reporting tool.
Stamford extended their access to historical values, improving their expertise on future market sentiment. Access to a wide range of Timeseries’ including earnings, opex, fleet statistics, technical, transactional and AIS databases has simplified reporting to investors, enabling Stamford to capitalize on short- and long-term investment opportunities.
“Having access to a wide range of timeseries including earnings, opex, fleet statistics, technical, transactional and AIS databases has benefited our business. It has enabled us to report to our investors more rigorously and transparently, to better pitch to future investors, and to position ourselves to capitalise on short- and long-term investment opportunities.”
