Dryad Maritime Plots Company Expansion

Dryad Maritime has unveiled new and enhanced services and a complete rebrand as part of the company’s relaunch and repositioning within the maritime operations industry. The overhaul follows six years of exponential growth for the formerly niche Portsmouth-based intelligence company.

With new offices opening in Singapore and continuous development of their products and services, Chief Executive Officer Graeme Gibbon Brooks said the time is right for the expansion and repositioning of the company.

“There is always an argument to stay small-scale and niche but the time is right for a new approach. Our true identity has always been as a maritime operations company – our 24-hour ops room is our heart and soul, and producing expert intelligence analysis is just one output of our operation. Dryad has built up the right expertise, experience and reputation to seize a great opportunity to occupy a broader space within the maritime operations industry. The repositioning of the company comes as we complete our current phase of expansion and diversification which will see our offering extend far beyond purely intelligence services.”

The new products and services have been developed by Dryad’s team of former Royal Navy operators who work side-by-side to employees with commercial sector experience.

High fuel prices and low freight rates have had a significant impact on the profitability of shipping and Dryad’s newest offering, the Voyage Efficiency Service, addresses these issues. Drawing on their existing portfolio of services, Dryad combines weather and fleet monitoring with risk mitigation and regulatory compliance to streamline operations on behalf of operators saving them time, money and administrative burden by using the very latest meteorological and environmental data modeling.

The Voyage Efficiency Service works in partnership with Dryad’s newest service launched earlier this year, PRISM – Professional, Risk & Integrated Services Management which is an extension of Dryad’s managed service offering. PRISM reflects the changing landscape of maritime crime and offers a unique range of cost effective and flexible solutions based around the ever changing threats to maritime operations.
