Welcome to a joined up world

The end-to-end fixture management solution

SeaFix/ is a collection of online applications that aid the management of fixtures, providing benefits and efficiencies at each stage of the process. The modules work together to provide a joined-up flow of data from the start of a fixture, through execution, documentation and finally monitoring where you can visualise the voyage itself and report on performance. For more information about the Sea/ platform, please visit www.sea.live

For the full benefits of SeaFix/ to be realised, you will need to access the following modules: Sea/trade; Sea/chat and Sea/contracts.
