Vessel Vanguard and SeaLogs Finalize Strategic Merger, Creating a Unified Maritime Operations Platform

Combined company unites vessel maintenance, compliance, digital logbooks, crew readiness and fleet reporting under one maritime technology organization.

FORT MYERS, Fla., Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vessel Vanguard, the maritime industry's leading maintenance and asset management platform trusted by thousands of vessels worldwide, and SeaLogs, an award-winning digital logbook and compliance system, today announced the completion of a strategic merger. The companies now operate under Vessel Vanguard, LLC. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The merger combines Vessel Vanguard’s maintenance scheduling, service records, inventory and asset management capabilities with SeaLogs’ digital logbooks, voyage records, compliance tools and crew management. Existing services remain fully supported while the expanded, integrated Vessel Vanguard platform is prepared for release.

“Our customers trusted us to manage their maintenance. Now they can trust us to manage everything. By merging strategically with SeaLogs, we have removed the last gaps and built something the maritime industry has needed for a long time.”

From Best-in-Class Maintenance to Complete Fleet Management
