VesselsValue, in partnership with Idwal Marine, recently announced the launch of automated Condition Adjusted Values. CAV combines a vessel’s actual condition with algorithmically derived market values to now account for a vessel’s physical condition, a first for the maritime industry.

“CAV will assist stakeholders to get value for the additional time, effort and expense of maintaining quality fleets; an effort that we see rewarded in transactions but not in valuations currently,” said Tom Evans, Director of VesselsValue.

Idwal vessel grading data is fed into the VesselsValue algorithms to produce daily automated Condition Adjusted Values. Historical inspection reports can also be requested directly through the VesselsValue platform. If no permission has been granted by the owner, or if no recent inspection reports are available, users can commission a new inspection report via the platform.

“We’re thrilled to enter a partnership with VesselsValue to bring Condition Adjusted Values to the industry,” said Nick Owens, Managing Director at Idwal. “Through the combination of Idwal’s latest grading data, users now have greater visibility into a ship's true value. This is just one of the ways Idwal is bringing inspection data back to the industry to help it make smarter decisions.”
