HarborLab Wins <br> Lloyd’s List Big Data Award 2024

What a journey it has been! In just three years, HarborLab has secured its second prestigious Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Award, a true testament to the impact we are making in the maritime industry.

Startups are a rollercoaster ride—filled with challenges, moments of doubt, and exhilarating successes. This latest award, however, feels different. It marks our first Lloyd’s List Company Award, often referred to as the “Maritime Oscars,” and stands as a defining moment in our journey.

Founded in May 2021 (with our MVP launched in March 2020), HarborLab now proudly employs nearly 100 dedicated individuals who share one mission: Building trust in the maritime ecosystem. This recognition validates our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and transparency in port cost management.

Why HarborLab Was Recognized

Judged by a panel of experts from Lloyd’s List Intelligence, this award highlights our ability to leverage big data and automation to transform maritime operations. Key factors behind our recognition include:

  • Proven success metrics and a rapidly growing customer base inside and outside of Greece.
  • An end-to-end port expense management solution that ensures accurate cost estimates and reliable validation of actual charges.
  • Support for 4,000 ports and over 31,000 port calls, streamlining payments and expediting the claims process.
  • A platform that delivers value to both shipowners and port agents, fostering trust and efficiency across the maritime supply chain.

This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our customers, partners, and industry peers. A heartfelt thank you to Nigel Lowry, Pantelis Sapsis, the esteemed judges, and everyone who has been part of our journey.

Looking Ahead

HarborLab is now the market leader in Greece, and we’re setting our sights on the global stage. This award is a milestone, but it’s only the beginning. We remain committed to driving maritime innovation and building technology that empowers businesses, enhances transparency, and creates lasting impact.

To our incredible HarborLab team—this award belongs to you. It’s a reflection of your hard work, resilience, and dedication. Every challenge we’ve faced, every lesson we’ve learned, and every success we’ve celebrated together has brought us to this moment.

Here’s to the future!
