CEO
The year of 2023 saw the successful completion of two central milestones in the creation of a stable and sustainable platform for growth. On the financial side the funding strategy was successfully completed to remove all short-term loan debt in the balance sheet. On the business side the new platform for the Risk Intelligence System was finalised and launched, which will be the basis for growth in the years to come.
The new platform has turned the Risk Intelligence System into a whole other product from an intelligence product to an operational maritime security product by integration of new features and third-party data such as AIS. With these options, the client and users can now automate a number of security processes from planning via monitoring to active risk management and avoidance.
From a business perspective it means that the license model has changed from the old simple model of users and number of vessels operated to a new model with three revenue streams. One is the original, which still forms the basis of the license. The next is selection of applicable features needed by the specific client and third is the selection of third-party data. Subsequently, nearly all clients will have additional features and data and therefore increased license fees.
The renewal process for
The last quarter saw positive liquidity from operations as forecasted, but the late renewal process resulted in a relatively high figure for debtors (
The outlook for 2024 will be positive liquidity from operations for the full year, while some quarters may be around plus/minus zero. Translated into reported figures this will lead to a reported EBITDA around zero for 2024.
