Throughout 2020, SCANEX specialists in close cooperation with the leading company clients that rely on the service were developing a fresh new version of the Scanex Maritime platform, which has been officially launched today.

«The new interface ensures the continuity of user experience, and we hope that customers will be able to switch easily to the new version. Nevertheless, the former version working capacity will be fully preserved. We would like to remind you that SCANEX Group is always open to fruitful cooperation on Scanex Maritime service development, in particular, in terms of attracting new service and data providers», noted Timur Khaybrahmanov, Head of Thematic Design and Analytics Department at SCANEX.
