MarineIT / Solutions / By business
Four businesses, four questions
The same platform. Asked something different every morning.
Ship owners
Owners · Owner-operatorsWhich ships are open, what is each one earning against the market, and where should the next one be positioned?
Every idle day is a decision somebody made.
A fleet report tells you what happened. A benchmark tells you whether it should have.
Where owners lose money quietly
Ballast decided late. A vessel opens in eleven days and the positioning decision is made in eight, by which time the cargo that justified the ballast has gone.
Performance never claimed. The ship burned more than warranted on four voyages, everyone knew, and nobody assembled the evidence while it was still assemblable.
Off-hire absorbed. Small deductions accepted because disputing them requires evidence nobody has time to gather.
Period decisions on feel. Fixing period against spot without a live view of what the fleet is actually achieving.
The position list
Every vessel, where it opens and when, what it is committed to and what it is exposed to — with days-to-open counting down. A charterer's screen starts with cargoes to cover; yours starts with ships to fix.
Cargoes against your fleet
Live cargoes ranked by what they would earn on your specific vessels, accounting for ballast distance on Netpas figures, laycan fit and loadability.
Spot against period
What each vessel achieves in the spot market against the period levels available to it, so fixing period is a decision made against a number rather than a mood.
Observed speed and consumption accumulate against the vessel as voyages complete — so a performance claim is assembled before you need it, not after. Vessel intelligence →
Bring a voyage you know the outcome of — ideally one that underperformed. We will rebuild the estimate and show you where the difference went.

Commercial operatorsWhich voyages are at risk, what is the exposure, and what needs a decision today rather than tomorrow?
The margin was decided at fixture. Whether you keep it is decided by you.
Nobody loses a demurrage claim because they calculated wrongly. They lose it because the evidence was in four inboxes.
What operations normally inherits
A recap and a charter party. Not the four weeks of negotiation that explain why the laytime terms are unusual, or what was conceded to get it done.
A spreadsheet of estimates. Built by someone else, in assumptions you cannot see, that you are now measured against.
An empty voyage record. Which somebody populates by re-typing the recap that was already parsed when it arrived.
Here, operations opens the same record chartering used. Nothing transfers, so nothing is dropped.
Evidence assembled as it arrives
Calculated against the CP terms already on the record. NOR, SOFs and port logs attach to the voyage as they land — including the ones that arrive as scans. The claim file is complete before the claim exists.
PDA checked at approval
Each account measured against what the estimate assumed for that port, with overruns flagged when you can still act on them rather than at settlement.
The spread, live
Hire commitments against employment earned, with the position between them visible rather than exported. Most operators are not only operating, and the desk needs both without switching systems.
The estimate is stage 03 of the record carrying the invoicing at stage 05, so variance is a subtraction rather than a monthly reconciliation. Voyage execution →
Bring the demurrage claim that failed — the one where the calculation was right and the evidence was scattered.

Brokerage houses · Chartering companiesWhich cargoes need covering, which vessels are available, which opportunity makes the most money — and what expires first?
You do not optimise ships. You optimise decisions.
Your competitive advantage is measured in minutes. Most of them are lost to typing.
Why the incumbents fit badly
Priced for fleets. The major voyage systems are sold to owners with tonnage to justify the licence. An independent brokerage with six people gets quoted a number built for a different business.
Built around the vessel. Their data model starts with a ship. Yours starts with a cargo enquiry that may never become a voyage — and that is most of your day.
Blind before the fixture. A voyage system becomes useful once there is a voyage. Everything before that happens in an inbox and a spreadsheet.
The enquiry is a record
Created when the circular is parsed, accumulating estimates, counters and correspondence through the negotiation, becoming a voyage when it fixes. Nothing is re-created at the point of fixture — it was there all along.
Forty cargoes, not three hundred
Live cargoes deduplicated across brokers, ranked by expected profitability and by what expires soonest, with the freight spread across all twelve sources shown on the entry.
Your book, visible
Enquiry, offer, counter, subject, recap, fixture — each stage with count, value, age and probability. A sales pipeline, because that is precisely what it is.
Cargoes that did not fix stay searchable, with the estimate that lost — which is how a desk learns what it consistently prices wrong. Deduplication →
Bring this morning's circulars — a real morning, including the cargo twelve houses circulated.
Book a demoCargo owners & traders
Producers · Commodity tradersWe would rather say this now than in the third meeting. The platform was designed around owners, operators and brokers. A cargo owner's desk shares most of the machinery but asks different questions of it — and what does not exist yet is a configured cargo-owner desk.
Everyone else here is selling transport. You are buying it.
Your cheapest fixture and your best fixture are frequently different fixtures.
What already works, and what does not
Works. Circular parsing, deduplication across brokers, tonnage matching against your cargo, freight estimation on live bunker prices and distances, negotiation tracking, vessel screening.
Works. Voyage tracking, NOR and SOF capture, laytime and demurrage against agreed terms, and the evidence trail for defending a claim rather than raising one.
Does not. Landed cost per tonne by route and supplier, coverage against contracted volume, COA commitment tracking, demurrage attribution by cause. All of it follows from data the system holds — none of it is built as a desk.
How do you measure a freight decision?
Per tonne against budget, against the index, against last quarter — and who inside the business asks you to justify it.
Where does demurrage originate?
Terminal, vessel, shipper, or the terms agreed. And whether anyone attributes it, or it is absorbed each quarter.
What does coverage mean to you?
Contracted tonnage against tonnage fixed, by month and route — and how you currently know where the exposure sits.
Who else is in the chain?
Whether you charter directly, through brokers, or through an operator — because that changes which half of this matters to you.
No demo, a conversation. If you buy freight in dry bulk, we want to understand your desk properly — and we will tell you honestly which part of your problem we can solve today.
