$SPIR CMA’s Power Is Focused on Kpler, Not Spire
• The CMA’s concern is about whether Kpler now has too much market power in maritime data.
• Remedies are usually imposed on the buyer (Kpler), not the seller (Spire).
• Possible outcomes:
• Kpler may be ordered to divest the acquired Spire maritime assets.
• Kpler may be blocked from integrating Spire’s maritime systems.
• Access conditions might be required (e.g., keeping data open to third parties).
• These types of remedies do not involve reversing financial transfers to the seller.
