Pole Star Global has acquired UK-based Clearwater Dynamics. The company is known for Coral, a leading marine insurance risk platform.
Firstly, the deal blends Clearwater’s vessel risk monitoring with Pole Star’s compliance, voyage optimization, and dark vessel detection tools. It also moves Pole Star into the marine insurance market. The result is one system that links operational, regulatory, and underwriting intelligence.
Coral helps underwriters and brokers assess and track maritime risk in real time. This is critical as geopolitical tensions and maritime threats increase. Additionally, the platform supports Pole Star’s goal of safer, more transparent global trade.
“This acquisition is a natural extension of our vision,” said Bob Skea, CEO of Pole Star Global. “Clearwater Dynamics brings the same real-time intelligence to vessel operators and marine underwriters that we deliver to governments, shipping companies, and financial institutions.”
Also, the acquisition also boosts Pole Star’s DOMAIN platform. Clearwater’s data will enhance predictive analytics for performance, risk, and sustainability.
“Joining Pole Star lets us scale Coral and reach more clients,” said Will Unwin, CEO of Clearwater Dynamics. “We will help customers make faster, more confident decisions in a high-risk industry.”
The move reflects Pole Star’s ongoing investment in technologies that protect the integrity of global trade.
