The company combines proprietary data, advanced analytics, and AI-powered technologies across more than 40 markets, including energy, dry bulk, power, and maritime transport. Kpler pioneered LNG cargo tracking and has expanded into broader commodity and shipping market intelligence through its Kpler and MarineTraffic platforms. Founded in 2014, the business serves customers across commodities, maritime, and defense end markets. Following the June 2026 transaction, Kpler secured a minority strategic growth equity investment of over $1 billion from Sixth Street while management remains majority owners and Insight Partners stays on as a shareholder. Kpler plans to use the partnership with Sixth Street to expand into adjacent markets, pursue targeted growth, and accelerate new product development.
