Ankeri Solutions Named Maritime Digitalisation Pioneer At Marine Insight Global Awards 2026

Ankeri Solutions was honoured with the Maritime Digitalisation Pioneer award at the Marine Insight Global Awards 2026, receiving the first award presented during the event.

The category recognizes organizations that transform data and digital tools into real commercial and operational gains for ships, fleets, and maritime personnel.

Evaluating a highly competitive shortlist and a closely contested public vote, the judging panel selected Ankeri Solutions for providing a clear, practical platform that addresses everyday operational realities. Samantha Montes spoke on behalf of the jury, noting that the winner stood out for its widely adopted technology and proven results, offering a functional tool rather than unfulfilled promises.

Accepting the award on stage, the co-founder of Ankeri Solutions reflected on the company’s evolution spanning an entire decade, from a 2-person initiative to becoming an established provider of digital solutions for charter execution. In his acceptance speech, he emphasized that “innovation is a team sport” and thanked the global team that has helped build the platform.

He also acknowledged the trust placed in the company by global ship owners and operators who share sensitive data and critical processes, as well as the ongoing support from investors, suppliers, partners, and local communities. The company noted that the award serves as encouragement to continue pushing digital boundaries in the maritime sector.

Building on its foundational platform, Ankeri Solutions is currently integrating artificial intelligence capabilities to introduce new features and workflows, leveraging contextualized data to optimize critical operational tasks across the maritime industry.
