Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular time-series benchmark data (index values and term structures per segment/route, daily or finer) plus the underlying cleaned fleet-state series; subscription delivery with no public download or open API documented
Volume: Stated: 2.5 billion AIS messages processed per month across 11,838+ vessels, reduced to index series across major vessel segments and multiple tenors — i.e. a very large raw feed compressed into a comparatively small set of published benchmark series.
Users: N/A for consumers — pre-launch/nascent subscription benchmark with an institutional audience of FFA desks, options market makers and risk managers; no subscriber count published (est. tens of pilot/early institutional seats).
History: 5 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active / pre-commercial: flagship B-VIX positioned as shipping, with FUI and RPI explicitly 'in development', and a multi-year Kpler data contract already secured to sustain the pipeline.
Launched: ~2025-2026 (recently launched: .ai domain, flagship index shipping while sibling indices are still in development, and a newly contracted data pipeline; no founding date or copyright year recovered).
