⚓ What Is Gosships?
If you work in shipping, you already know — the best intelligence doesn’t come from trade press headlines. It comes from the conversations at the bar after the conference. The broker who mentions a fixture that hasn’t hit the recap yet. The compliance officer who flags an ownership chain that doesn’t add up. The charterer who noticed a rate that made no sense until it did.
Gosships is built for that audience. We write oil shipping intelligence at the level that professionals actually think and operate — with the specificity, the market context, and the edge that generic maritime news doesn’t deliver.
🛢️ What We Cover (Right Now)
We’re starting where the stakes are highest: oil shipping.
⛽ Tanker freight markets — VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax, and LNG/LPG spot and term market analysis. Rate drivers, fleet positioning, tonnage supply, and trade flow shifts.
🕵️ Dark fleet and sanctions intelligence — OFAC and EU sanctions tracking, AIS anomaly monitoring, STS transfer patterns, flag-hopping detection, and shadow fleet exposure analysis. The stories that read like spy thrillers but land on your compliance officer’s desk.
🌍 Energy trade flows — Crude and refined product routing, LNG destination swaps, floating storage trends, and the geopolitical forces reshaping who ships what to where.
📋 Regulatory signals — IMO developments, CII/EEXI enforcement trends, port state control patterns, and compliance deadlines that affect commercial operations.
🚀 Where This Is Going
Oil shipping is where we start, not where we stop. Gosships is building toward something bigger — a place where maritime professionals across every segment come to find out what’s really happening. Containers, dry bulk, offshore, port operations — it’s all coming. But we believe in earning credibility one lane at a time, and right now, nobody is doing oil shipping intelligence the way it deserves to be done.
