MagicPort Port Call Management & Maritime Intelligence

MagicPort is a Singapore-headquartered maritime software company founded in 2021 by Ali Gara and Tural Aliyev. It addresses the fragmented way port calls are run today, with ship owners, agents, port authorities, suppliers and service providers coordinating loading, discharging, bunkering and inspections through email, calls and spreadsheets.

The platform combines port call management software with a trusted maritime network and data products. Port Call Management gives single-window control of tasks, operations and invoices with automated reporting, while shared inboxes and AI agents process jobs, documents, invoices and shipments. Maritime Intelligence provides vessel, shipping company and port data with sanctions-risk alerts, a maritime directory profiles vessels, owners, agents and suppliers, and Maritime APIs feed the data into customer systems. The company reports 300+ shipping companies as users in 80+ countries.

• Port call management: single-window control of tasks, operations and invoices with automated reporting.
• AI-powered automation: shared inbox tools and AI agents for jobs, documents, invoices and shipments.
• Maritime intelligence: vessel, shipping company and port intelligence with sanctions-risk alerts.
• Trusted maritime network: verified profiles of vessels, ports and companies.
• Maritime directory: listings of owners, managers, ship agents, suppliers, bunker suppliers and shipyards.
• Maritime APIs: feeds MagicPort data into customers' own systems.

• A Vietnamese ship agency can manage port call tasks and disbursement invoices for vessels calling at Hai Phong or Cai Mep.
• A shipping company can screen counterparties and vessels for sanctions risk before chartering.
• A port service supplier can use the directory to reach ship owners and managers.

• One window for port call tasks, operations and invoices instead of scattered emails and spreadsheets.
• AI agents and shared inboxes automate handling of jobs, documents and invoices.
• Sanctions-risk alerts and verified counterparties help reduce compliance and fraud exposure.
• A 7-day free trial with no credit card lowers the barrier for agents and owners to test.

Port operations remain one of the least digitized parts of global trade, while sanctions screening and document compliance requirements keep rising. Ports and shipping agents in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam's expanding seaport clusters, are adopting digital port call tools and AI document processing to shorten turnaround and reduce administrative load.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore by Azerbaijani founders Ali Gara and Tural Aliyev.
