# Base — Maritime Cost Intelligence & Procurement Platform

## About Base

Base is a SaaS platform for maritime and offshore operations. It replaces spreadsheets, email chains, and disconnected tools with a single source of truth for project billing, vendor management, cost tracking, and procurement. Base serves port agents, ship agents, offshore contractors, shorebases, husbandry agents, and offshore wind operators.

The platform has two product lines:

1. **Base Platform** (usebase.io) — the paid maritime cost intelligence and procurement suite.
2. **Open Gov Intelligence** (open-gov.usebase.io) — free public-access tools built on 65+ government data sources, including tariff lookup, sanctions screening, and vessel compliance.
