Software That Keeps Cargo Moving — Vessels, Freight and Customs in Sync
Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds marine and shipping software for the UAE market. From vessel operations and freight forwarding to customs documentation and port logistics, we replace the tangle of spreadsheets, emails and disconnected point solutions with one connected platform your ops, commercial and compliance teams actually enjoy using.
Vessel Operations
Vessel operations software keeps your fleet on schedule. We build voyage planning, port calls, cargo and stowage, and maintenance into one system so your fleet and operations teams always know exactly where every vessel is, what it is carrying and when it is due.

Crew lists, contracts, qualifications and manning changes across the fleet.
