Our Vision

Unlocking instant settlement, real-time transparency, and improved efficiency for maritime payments—eliminating costly delays and transforming working capital management.

The maritime industry moves 90% of global trade, yet payment delays cost the industry billions every year. Every day, vessels sit idle at ports, accumulating tens of thousands in detention and demurrage fees while waiting for wire transfers to clear. Bunker suppliers delay refueling. Crew changes are postponed. Canal slots are missed. These 2-5 day wire delays create a cascade of operational disruptions that ripple through global supply chains.

Oceanzap is building the future of maritime payments: instant, transparent, and efficient. Our platform enables shipping companies to settle payments for bunker fuel, port services, freight, and crew wages in seconds—24/7, with on-chain stablecoins. No more cut-off times, banking hours, or waiting for funds to clear. Vessels keep moving, operations run smoothly, and working capital is always productive.

With Oceanzap, you gain real-time traceability for every payment, full auditability for compliance, and automated workflows that reduce manual work and errors. Our treasury solutions let you hold funds in yield-bearing stablecoins and release payments just-in-time, maximizing liquidity and boosting returns.

We know maritime operations inside out. Our team has built maritime software before, and we understand that every hour of delay costs money, every missed departure disrupts schedules, and every payment problem creates operational headaches. That’s why Oceanzap is not just another fintech—it’s financial technology purpose-built for the realities of shipping.

The future of maritime finance is instant, efficient, and transparent. We invite forward-thinking shipping companies to join our Early Adopter program and experience the benefits of smarter working capital and modern payment operations. Book a call here, or reach us at hello@oceanzap.com.
