Salary benchmarks
Our take
Vortexa provides market-leading real-time data and advanced analytics for energy and shipping markets. With an accurate and complete picture of waterborne flows and freight dynamics, Vortexa covers crude oil, refined products, LPG and LNG, across all vessel classes. The company sits at the confluence where hard data meets deep tech and machine learning, bringing together all the physical aspects of the tanker shipping universe.
With $1.8T of trades on water per year, the physical energy market is still one of the most opaque markets in existence today. Data is fragmented and incomplete, leading businesses to make high-stake decisions in the dark.
Vortexa’s forward view of tonnage supply up to 35 days ahead and real-time utilisation data at high frequency and granularity, help market participants to make well-informed, high-stakes chartering and positioning decisions quickly and confidently. In 2023, venture capital from Communitas further consolidated Vortexa's strength in the market. The company’s clients include oil supermajors, commodities trading houses, investment banks, brokers, and ship owners, spanning globally.
