As a senior maritime data expert, Ines works on updating the global fleet registries as well as with the IMO ship numbering and company team, she draws from her network of connection made during her tenure as editor of various maritime magazines to better connect S&P's extensive ships database to the industry and media by publishing data analysis into fraudulent flags and tonnage overviews of different ship registries.

Making use of her experience in multi-media and data-driven storytelling, her focus since joining the company in 2018 has been to establish the utilisation of S&P Global's rich dredging, port and maritime data and to translate those datasets into interactive and print visualisations to give an insight into fleet data, port infrastructure developments and shipbuilding trends as well as casualty incidents.

Prior to her current role, Ines joined IHS Markit (now part of S&P Global) at the London headquarters in September 2018 as the editor of Dredging and Ports Construction magazine before taking over as editor of Ports & Harbors, the membership publication of the International Association of Ports and Harbors. She has also edited specialist materials science titles Materials World and Clay Technology, the membership publications of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in London. Ines started her maritime journalism career in 2015 at The Marine Professional, the membership publication of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science, and Technology.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in technical journalism from the Hochschule Bremen, Germany, and a Master of Arts in science journalism from London's City University.
