Overview
Founded in Paris in 2014 by engineers François Cazor and Jean Maynier, Kpler began as an LNG-tracking tool before expanding into a full trade-intelligence platform covering more than 40 commodities, power markets and global shipping.
The company has grown through a series of acquisitions — including ClipperData, MarineTraffic, FleetMon and Spire Maritime's maritime intelligence business — to become one of the world's largest operators of AIS vessel-tracking data, serving traders, charterers, fleet managers and government agencies.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
