In today’s competitive maritime industry, being visible isn’t enough—being trusted matters.
That’s why ShipShore Group implements a structured vendor vetting process to award the Vetted Vendor Badge—a mark of credibility and confidence.
This badge signals to shipowners, superintendents, and clients that your company isn’t just listed—it’s verified, approved, and recommended.
1. What does the badge represent?
The Vetted Vendor Badge is awarded to vendors who:
- Maintain updated documentation and licenses
- Receive positive feedback from clients and superintendents
- Show consistency in pricing, communication, and service delivery
- Are responsive to inquiries and technically competent
2. Badge Levels:
We use a tiered badge system:
- Certified Vendor – Approved and listed on the platform
- Vetted Vendor – Reviewed by internal experts or superintendents; consistent with service expectations
- Preferred Vendor – High-performing vendor with long-term clients, excellent track record, and fast response time
3. Why it matters to vendors:
- Clients prefer vetted providers for smoother transactions
- Superintendents often shortlist badge holders first
- Badge holders are prioritized for technical projects and vendor promotion
- The badge builds reputation and a competitive edge in a crowded marketplace
Think of the badge as your digital word-of-mouth—you don’t just tell people you’re reliable. You prove it.
