Burmester & Vogel

Burmester & Vogel is a Boston-based maritime technology company that uses AI and machine learning to automate laytime calculation and demurrage claim management for the shipping industry. Founded in Hamburg in 1983 as a traditional laytime firm, it has reinvented itself as the maker of the Demurrage AI Copilot - software that digitizes shipping documents, calculates delay time, and audits demurrage claims in seconds. It serves industrial producers, commodity traders, bulk terminals and shipowners across several hundred companies worldwide.
