Marcura expands with HubSE acquisition

Maritime tech firm Marcura has acquired UK-based tanker demurrage claims automation provider HubSE.

HubSE’s specialised oil and chemical tanker expertise will be integrated into Marcura Claims, formerly ClaimsHub. Their combined capabilities will deliver a comprehensive claims management experience with both fully managed and self-service solutions.

The acquisition of HubSE reinforces Marcura’s vision of a more connected maritime industry that supports smooth, sustainable, and profitable global trade. According to a statement from the two firms, HubSE’s technology is widely recognised as the gold standard for efficient cost recovery in this specialised sector.

At the core of this vision is the seamless integration of data, automation, and AI-driven insights across Marcura’s solutions, helping customers work smarter, faster, and stay ahead in a complex regulatory landscape.

“Managing demurrage claims has often meant juggling different tools, processes, and providers depending on the cargo. Bringing HubSE into the Marcura ecosystem changes that. For the first time, shipowners and charterers have a single solution that covers all major commodity types,” said Henrik Hyldahn, Marcura Group CEO.

In the past few years, Marcura has consistently expanded its portfolio of owned companies. Last month, the company bought maritime software provider VesselMan from Skagerak Capital. Previously, it acquired the online procurement platform ShipServ.
