One system, from first message to final settlement.

Every circular is read the moment it lands. The estimate, the fixture, the voyage and the settlement all run on what that circular became. One record, one platform — nothing sent, synced or re-keyed between anything.

On the way

We are building AI agents that will simplify the workflow.

Released progressively across the platform rather than announced all at once, and coordinated by a single orchestrating agent — each covering one area: chartering, operations, bunkers, performance, finance, documents, risk.

The agent writes. You decide. Chartering is a judgement business conducted between people who know each other.

They stop at drafting

An agent prepares a reply, an estimate, a set of voyage instructions or a claim. It does not send, offer, counter or commit you to anything.

Nothing arrives without its workings

A drafted estimate opens to its inputs and their sources. A drafted reply shows the thread and the terms it was built from.

Your data trains nothing

Circulars, fixtures and rates are never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model, and nothing is learned across clients.

What you’re running today

Four tools. Four blind spots. One desk paying for all of them.

Nothing here is broken software. Each was built for a job. The cost sits in the gaps between them — and the gaps are where the margin goes.

GAP / 01

The inbox

Twelve brokers circulate the same cargo. Your desk reads it twelve times, across two apps, and still misses the one that expires at noon.

The platform closes it

Duplicates collapse into one entry carrying every broker who sent it, with each original kept intact.

GAP / 02

The voyage system

Only as accurate as the last person to type into it. The truth arrives by email first, and re-keying happens late, partially, or after the dispute.

The platform closes it

There is nothing to re-key. The parsed circular and the voyage record are the same rows in the same database.

GAP / 03

The spreadsheet

Every desk keeps its own P&L on its own schedule. Chartering's estimate and finance's actual never quite agree, and nobody can say which is current.

The platform closes it

Estimate and actual sit on one voyage, variance calculated continuously, source of every input on the face of it.

GAP / 04

The market terminal

Shows where the market is, not where you stand in it. Indices in one window, your exposure in another, the arithmetic in someone's head.

The platform closes it

Market reports are parsed as they arrive, so the nearest Baltic route sits beside your estimate as you build it — not looked up afterwards.

The platform

One record. From the first message to the last invoice.

Layer 01 · Where everything arrives

Communication

Email and Teams in a single chronological feed. No folders. Every circular, offer, counter and recap parsed on arrival into cargo, vessel, ports, laycan, rates and terms — before anyone opens it.

Voyage-centric, not workflow-centric

Most systems make you navigate the process. Menus, sub-menus, and a different module for every stage. You spend the day proving to the software which voyage you’re talking about.

This platform inverts it. The voyage carries its own identity, status, timeline, communications, financials and documents. The workflow lives inside it.

Stage 01 is Dialogue — the correspondence itself. It is not a feed that reports into the voyage; it is the point at which the voyage record begins, which is why the two are never separate things to reconcile.

Humans understand timelines. Nobody has ever understood a sub-menu.

Finance never needs a separate navigation — the P&L, exposure and claims for a voyage sit at the bottom of that voyage, where they belong.

How it works

Communication in. Fixture out.

Three steps, and only the last one asks anything of your desk.

01

Parse

Vessel particulars, cargo, quantity and tolerance, load and discharge ports, laycan, rates, laytime terms and commission — pulled out of telex-format circulars, PDFs and chat messages before anyone opens them.

SOURCE · broker circular
→ 8 fields extracted
02

Enrich

Particulars from a circular are checked against the vessel's own record and against live data — Lloyd's for ship particulars, Netpas for distances, Tideform for bunker prices, StormGlass for weather. Every field keeps its own source.

VERIFY · Lloyd's / Netpas / Tideform
→ record enriched
03

Act

TCE and freight estimated on live bunker prices and Netpas distances, benchmarked against the nearest Baltic route read from your own market reports, with loadability checked against port draft and vessel TCP. A number you can counter on, and the workings behind it.

ESTIMATE · TCE $18,450/day
→ ready to counter
One record. No connector, no nightly sync.

The circular you read at 08:14 is the fixture you settle in November.

Not copied into it. Not synced with it. The same record, from the first message to the final claim — which is why there is no connector, no nightly sync and no integration project.

Built for the commercial desk

Four desks. One navigation.

Your role changes the widgets, the permissions and the KPIs. It never changes where anything is — so covering someone else’s desk on a Friday afternoon costs you nothing.

Chartering

Cargoes to cover, ships to fix, and the money attached to each. Ranked by what expires first.

Operations

Only the events that move money — delay, congestion, PDA overrun, laytime running against you.

Finance

Settlement by voyage rather than by invoice, because that is how a commercial book actually works.

Brokers & chartering companies

Cargo marketplace, tonnage board, negotiation pipeline by stage. Every estimate benchmarked.

Ship owners

Fleet performance, vessel intelligence, charter party through to claims.

Cargo owners & traders

Freight benchmarking, counterparty credit exposure, margin by trade, route and charterer.

Customer stories

45 vessels managed from one screen

We were re-keying every fixture twice — once into the spreadsheet, once into the voyage system. With MarineIT, the circular becomes the fixture. Our chartering desk got two hours back every morning.

Provenance

Every figure says where it came from.

An estimate you cannot audit is an estimate you cannot defend.

Every field keeps its source

Lloyd's for particulars, StormGlass for weather, Tideform for bunkers, Netpas for distance, your own record for everything you have observed.

Overrides are flagged

Override a sourced value and the system says so — before that number reaches a recap, an invoice or a claim. The original is kept either way.

Nothing trains anything

Circulars, fixtures and rates are never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model, and nothing is learned across clients.

Configurable dashboards

Forty widgets. Ten per role. Arranged by the person using them.

Not configured by us at onboarding and not fixed by an administrator. Each user builds their own screen from the widgets available to their role, and it stays as they left it.

Management

10 widgets

Exposure, voyage P&L, utilisation, claims open, pending approvals, performance against market, margin by route, counterparty concentration.

Chartering

10 widgets

Cargoes to cover, ships to fix, live negotiations, today's fixtures, pending recaps, cargo marketplace, tonnage board, market position.

Operations

10 widgets

Voyages at risk, NOR pending, laytime running, demurrage exposure, PDA approvals, port delays, weather on route, execution board.

Finance

10 widgets

Receivables by type, payables due, freight and hire outstanding, cash forecast, settlement control, counterparty credit, unbilled revenue.

Book a demo

Bring us a circular from this morning.

We will parse it live, build the estimate from what comes out of it, and benchmark that against the nearest Baltic route from your own reports. Forty-five minutes, your cargo, your vessels, your numbers.
