How we compare
Built for how maritime procurement actually works
Most maritime directories charge buyers a subscription, hide pricing, and route enquiries through a paywall. We do the opposite.

FAQ
Common questions
What is PortVendor?+

PortVendor covers 1000+ commercial ports worldwide including Rotterdam, Singapore, Hamburg, Antwerp, Houston, Jebel Ali, Piraeus and many more. The full list is available at /ports.
Does PortVendor show live vessel arrivals?+
Yes. Each port page shows expected and current vessel arrivals with vessel name, type, ETA, status, agent and management details — pulled from live AIS data. This helps suppliers see when vessels are calling at their port and time their outreach.
How is PortVendor different from legacy maritime directories?+
PortVendor offers free buyer access (no membership required), live vessel arrivals data, public transparent pricing for suppliers (from $0), and search by port and category. Legacy directories typically charge buyers and suppliers, lack live arrivals data, and don't publish pricing.
How do buyers contact suppliers on PortVendor?+
Buyers contact suppliers directly via the email, phone or website displayed on each company profile. PortVendor doesn't broker deals or take a commission — there's no middleman.
What's the early-partner discount?+
Early-partner suppliers lock in founder pricing for life. Featured is $490/yr (vs $990 standard, 50% off) and Partner is $1,490/yr (vs $2,980 standard, 50% off). The discount applies as long as the subscription stays active.
