Where Marlo goes further
Nextvoyage covers chartering, operations, and voyage accounting. Here is what you gain when you switch to Marlo.
Finance and banking, built in
Marlo is the only maritime platform that combines voyage management with business banking, FX, corporate cards, and loan tracking, so you manage money where you manage voyages.
Real-time analytics, not just reports
Live dashboards for voyage P&L, cashflow, fleet valuations, and counterparty credit scores. Make decisions while the voyage is still in progress, not after it’s closed.
Compliance without the bolt-ons
Sanctions screening, CII monitoring, and EU ETS emissions tracking are native to Marlo. No third-party add-ons, no manual spreadsheets, no compliance gaps.

Built for the problems your current system ignores
Shipping companies do not just need voyage tracking. They need cashflow visibility, sanctions checks, EU ETS reporting, and accounting that does not rely on spreadsheets. Here is what sets Marlo apart.
See your entire fleet in one glance
Marlo’s dashboard gives you live financial and operational data across your entire fleet — voyage P&L, vessel positions, cashflow status, and open receivables. No waiting for month-end reports. No switching between tabs. One screen, full visibility.
Know where your cash stands, today and next quarter
Project future cashflows based on open voyages, pending invoices, loan repayments, and expected freight. Marlo connects operational data to financial projections automatically, so CFOs get real numbers — not estimates from spreadsheets.
Screen every counterparty before you commit
Marlo checks counterparties against global sanctions lists automatically. Before you fix a cargo, sign a charter, or process a payment — you know the entity is clean. No separate compliance tool, no manual lookups, no exposure to risk.
Track emissions where you track voyages
EU ETS obligations are calculated alongside your voyage data — not in a separate system after the fact. Marlo records vessel emissions as required by environmental regulations, monitors CII scores, and keeps you audit-ready without additional tools.
Your accounting software, always in sync
Connect Xero or QuickBooks and let Marlo push voyage-level financials directly into your ledger. Invoices, payments, accruals — all mapped and synced automatically. No CSV exports, no copy-paste errors, no month-end fire drills.
Never miss a covenant deadline again
Track vessel loans, monitor covenant thresholds, and see upcoming obligations alongside your voyage financials. Marlo connects debt management to operational performance — so your finance team sees the full picture, not just the voyage side.
