UK-based technology firm Sedna has continued its expansion with the acquisition of Athens-based maritime workflow solutions provider, CompassAir. CompassAir, with a foothold in the Greek and Norwegian shipping sector, delivers expertise across the research, negotiation, and handover stages of the maritime trade lifecycle. The acquisition for an undisclosed sum will see its S&P and chartering products integrated into Sedna’s offering, “enabling commercial teams to spot opportunities, close deals faster, reduce risk, and gain full visibility across negotiations”. Sedna said the move represents a significant step forward in the company’s ambition to build a fully connected platform that unites people, systems, and data across the maritime ecosystem. “This acquisition is a powerful extension of our mission to unify global trade through intelligent communication,” remarked Bill Dobie, founder and CEO of Sedna, adding: “CompassAir brings not only proven technology and deep expertise, but also an exceptional team whose values and vision align closely with ours.” As part of the deal, Yannis Manolessos, CEO of CompassAir, will assume a senior leadership role within Sedna. Founded in 2017, Sedna launched to reduce present email challenges—like inbox overload, lost data, and siloed operations. In March, the company, backed by Insight Partners, bought trade workflow automation platform Flytta, after adding the Copenhagen-headquartered email management specialist Nordic IT last November. “With this acquisition, Sedna becomes the only platform that unites real-time communications, S&P and chartering workflows, and fixture execution in one secure, intelligent workspace,” the company said in a release. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsGreece United Kingdom
