Powering Modern Ship Agencies
We see the unseen engine of global trade.
At RidingLight, we build the clarity, control, and connection that modern ship agencies and port operators need to navigate complexity and drive efficiency in every port call.
Our Story
Built from the Bridge, Coded for the Cloud
RidingLight wasn't founded in a generic tech incubator. It was born at a maritime CTO’s kitchen table, scribbled on the back of a Disbursement Account, and forged through late-night calls with agents across the globe. Our founders are maritime veterans who lived the chaos—the fragmented emails, the missed milestones, the financial fog.
We knew there had to be a better way. Not just another database, but a central nervous system for port call operations. RidingLight is our mission to replace the "how we've always done it" with "how it should be done": connected, intelligent, and effortless.
Our Mission
To Illuminate Operations
In maritime tradition, a riding light is the anchor light that signals a vessel's presence and status. It is a beacon of stability and information.
That is what we do for our clients. We provide the beacon that illuminates the entire port call process, making every action visible, every document accessible, and every milestone clear to all stakeholders.
We exist to eliminate operational darkness—the kind that leads to delays, errors, and lost profit.
Our Core Belief
The Agency is the Hero
Shipping companies own the vessels. Ports own the infrastructure. But the Ship Agency is the critical linchpin that makes everything move. You are the negotiators, the problem-solvers, the local experts who turn plans into reality under immense pressure.
Our software is built with a single, unwavering focus: to amplify your expertise. We don't seek to replace the agent; we seek to empower you. We strip away the administrative burden, automate the tedious, and connect the disconnected—so you can focus on what you do best: building relationships, solving complex logistics, and delivering exceptional service.
