Who we are

A public track record, built over time.

Dryad Global was founded in London in 2018 and combined with IMSA in 2022. Our work has helped organisations understand how conflict, security incidents and changing conditions at sea can affect vessels, cargo and the wider flow of trade.

Channel 16 provides a public record of that work. People across the maritime industry, journalists, government bodies and institutions follow Dryad Global's analysis to understand what is changing at sea and why it matters beyond the headline.

Verihelm brings that experience together with emerging signals, established context and the judgement of Dryad Global's maritime intelligence team.

How we work

Technology extends our reach. Experience determines what matters.

See risk as it emerges

Verihelm connects incidents, threat context and changing signals so separate events can be understood as a developing picture.

Experienced judgement

Dryad Global's intelligence specialists test ambiguity, add context and challenge conclusions where the consequences demand it.

Sources brought together

Verihelm blends reporting from different sources, with human oversight where reliability, ambiguity or consequence calls for judgement.

Quality control you can see

Published assessments carry their review and approval status in Verihelm.

Built for wider decisions

Insurers, financiers, traders, supply-chain teams and maritime operators can work from the same developing risk picture.

Advisory, not prescriptive

Verihelm shows what is changing and why. The customer retains the decision.
