Professional Tools for Maritime Business
NaviDesk brings together the three tools maritime professionals need most: Know Your Client due diligence, online ID verification, and digital contract signing, in one place, built for the way the maritime industry actually works.
Exclusively available to maritime professionals.Not for private vessel owners.
One toolset. Three essential capabilities.
NaviDesk is a digital toolset developed by Lorrendraaier for maritime professionals who need to verify who they are dealing with, confirm identities securely, and sign agreements without chasing paper across time zones.
The maritime industry involves high-value transactions, international parties, and significant regulatory obligations. Knowing your client is not optional, it is a legal and commercial necessity. Yet many businesses still rely on manual, fragmented processes: emailed copies of passports, printed contracts sent by post, and due diligence checks conducted without a consistent framework.
NaviDesk changes that. It gives you a structured, secure, and fully digital way to conduct KYC due diligence on clients and counterparties, verify identities online before any transaction proceeds, and close deals with legally valid digital signatures, all from your browser, without additional software.
NaviDesk is available exclusively to maritime professionals. If you work in a charter company, a shipyard, a maritime law firm, or a specialised insurance company, NaviDesk is built for the kind of work you do every day.

What NaviDesk does for your business
Consistent compliance
A structured KYC and verification process means every client is handled the same way, every time. No gaps, no shortcuts, and a full audit trail if you ever need to demonstrate due diligence.
Faster transactions
Waiting for documents to arrive by post or email adds days – sometimes weeks – to a transaction. NaviDesk removes that delay. Verification and signing happen online, as quickly as your clients respond.
Secure data handling
All personal data processed through NaviDesk is handled in compliance with GDPR. You are not building folders of passport scans on a shared drive – the data is managed securely and only accessible to authorised users.
Built for international work
Maritime business crosses borders constantly. NaviDesk is designed to work with international clients in any country, with ID verification that accepts documents from across Europe and beyond.
Legally valid documents
Digital signatures via NaviDesk comply with the eIDAS regulation, making them legally valid throughout the European Union. You do not need to follow up with paper originals.
Focus on your core work
Verification and compliance administration are necessary but not what your business is built on. NaviDesk reduces the manual overhead so you and your team can focus on the work that actually requires your expertise.
