What is maritime ERP software?

Maritime ERP software is a centralised platform that manages the full lifecycle of shipping operations — including voyage planning, freight finance, accounts payable and receivable, banking, and compliance. Unlike generic ERP systems, maritime ERP is built around the specific workflows of vessel owners, tanker operators, dry bulk operators, and commercial shipping companies. Marlo is a maritime ERP platform designed specifically for these operators.

How is Marlo different from Veson IMOS?

Marlo combines voyage management, finance, banking, and compliance in a single platform — whereas Veson IMOS primarily focuses on voyage management and requires third-party integrations for finance and banking. Marlo is built for dry bulk, tanker, and commercial shipping operators who want one connected system without the complexity and cost of enterprise legacy software.

Can Marlo replace my existing voyage management system?

Yes. Marlo includes a full voyage management system covering pre-fixture planning, post-fixture operations, chartering, cargo tracking, and vessel performance monitoring — alongside integrated finance and banking tools. Shipping companies use Marlo to replace disconnected VMS, accounting, and banking tools with one platform.

Does Marlo support tanker and dry bulk operators?

Marlo is purpose-built for dry bulk operators, tanker owners, and commercial shipping companies. The platform handles the specific financial and operational workflows these segments require — including voyage P&L reconciliation, demurrage tracking, bunker cost management, and CII compliance monitoring.

Where is Marlo based and who uses it?

Marlo Technologies Limited is headquartered in London, with offices in Chennai, Singapore, and Dubai. The platform is used by vessel owners and operators managing fleets across global dry bulk and tanker trade routes.
