Sparta and Tideform expand partnership to enhance access to maritime fuel market data

Geneva, Switzerland – October 2025 – Sparta, the real-time intelligence platform built for modern oil trading desks, today announced an expanded collaboration and redistribution agreement with Tideform, the definitive source of real-time maritime fuel pricing and operational insights. Building on our existing partnership launched in early 2024, Sparta users can now access Tideform’s continuously updated bunker spot and forward price (FPP) data, not only within the Sparta platform, but also directly via their own APIs through the Sparta Data Marketplace.

Deepening an established collaboration

Since January 2024, Tideform’s factual bunker price assessments have been integrated into Sparta’s trader-focused platform, providing live access to global marine fuel pricing across more than 500 ports.
The redistribution agreement broadens this integration, enabling users to connect Tideform’s continuously updated datasets directly to their internal systems, models, and workflows via API access, offering even greater flexibility and data transparency.

“Our collaboration with Tideform continues to evolve in step with how trading desks consume data,” said Stephanie Beige-Trabia, Chief Strategy Officer at Sparta. “With this redistribution agreement, we’re enabling clients to access Tideform’s trusted bunker pricing not only inside Sparta’s platform but also seamlessly through their own infrastructure via the Sparta Data Marketplace.”

Delivering greater flexibility for traders and shipping professionals

Under this expanded partnership, Sparta users can now subscribe to five Tideform data packages through the Sparta Data Marketplace, ensuring that desks can access continuously updated bunker spot and forward prices however they work best.

Available packages include:

• Europe, Middle East & Africa
• Asia-Pacific (APAC)
• North & South America
• Global (All Regions)
• Custom access to over 500 ports worldwide

This enhancement supports seamless data integration and more informed decision-making across both physical and paper marine fuel markets.
