Who we are

ShipSales.ai brings vessel listings and buyer and seller enquiries together in one place. Our purpose is to make the initial stages of a ship sale or purchase easier to navigate, with accessible listing information and a clear route to asking questions.

Buying or selling a vessel involves technical particulars, commercial priorities and careful review. The marketplace provides a starting point for that conversation: discover an opportunity, identify the information you need and discuss the next steps with ShipSales.ai.

FOR BUYERS

Find vessels that fit your requirements

Browse vessel opportunities by category and review the information available for each listing. Categories include bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, multipurpose vessels and passenger vessels; availability depends on the current listings.

Sign in to access protected specifications and pricing where available. When making an enquiry, explain your intended use, preferred capacity, age range, operating region and purchase timeline.

If you cannot find a suitable listing, send your requirements through the contact page so the team can understand your search.

FOR SELLERS

Start a vessel sale conversation

Share your vessel information with ShipSales.ai for review and discuss how the opportunity may be presented to potential buyers. Start with accurate particulars, the vessel's current location, recent photographs and your proposed sale timeline.

Explain your relationship to the seller and identify any information that needs confidential handling. Contact our team before sharing confidential ownership documents or other sensitive material.

Submitting information starts a discussion; it does not automatically create a public listing.

Our approach: useful information and clear next steps

Specification-led conversations

Vessel type, dimensions, capacity, machinery and survey information can influence a buying decision. Review the available particulars and ask for clarification where information is missing, dated or unclear.

A focused enquiry process

Refer to the vessel title or listing URL and explain what you would like to confirm. A specific enquiry helps the team understand your priorities and the documentation or discussion needed next.

How to get started with ShipSales.ai

  1. Explore or define your requirements. Review the marketplace, or prepare a brief describing the vessel you want to buy or sell.
  2. Send an enquiry. Include your contact details, a listing reference or vessel particulars, and your main questions.
  3. Discuss the information. Clarify current availability, specifications and any additional documents needed.
  4. Agree the next steps. Review the proposed process with the relevant parties before making commercial commitments.

Sale, purchase and vessel recycling enquiries

Our Services page explains the marketplace and enquiry options in more detail. For a vessel being considered for recycling, the Vessel Recycling Enquiry form provides a structured way to share the available particulars.

Whether you are exploring a purchase, considering a sale or starting a recycling discussion, a clear brief helps explain your objectives and the questions that need to be resolved.

Information first. Decisions in your hands.

Listing particulars and vessel availability should be confirmed during enquiries. An enquiry does not reserve a vessel or create a binding offer. Inspections, negotiations, legal documents, payments and closing remain subject to the relevant parties' review and agreement.

Use current supporting documents and the professional advice appropriate to your transaction when assessing technical, legal and commercial matters.

Start with a conversation.

Tell us the vessel you are interested in, the requirements behind your search or the opportunity you wish to discuss.
