The Challenge

Large shipping companies can invest in dedicated chartering and voyage-estimation software. Small and mid-sized operators often cannot, and still rely on manual spreadsheets for every freight quotation.

Each quotation involves many assumptions: voyage duration, bunker consumption, port costs, cargo quantity, charter terms, and commercial risk. Spreadsheets make it hard to evaluate alternatives consistently, trace calculations, and see how changing assumptions affect profitability.

Why Our Solution Is Different

From Enquiry to Decision

  • Recognizes key information from chartering enquiries and proposes structured voyage inputs for operator review
  • Evaluates voyage economics and generates a GO / NO-GO recommendation against company-defined thresholds

Less manual input. More informed decisions.

Transparent Voyage Economics

  • Calculates Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) and net voyage income through consistent, reviewable calculation rules
  • Separates economic calculations from commercial decision logic, with precision modes designed to support manual verification

Every number has a reason.

Reverse Quotation & Risk Intelligence

  • Works backwards from a target TCE to determine the required freight rate
  • Explores how bunker prices, port costs, schedule changes, and freight-rate adjustments affect voyage economics and commercial margins

Know your target. Understand your exposure.

Company Commercial Intelligence

  • Saves, retrieves, compares, and exports voyage quotations, building a structured record of commercial assumptions and decisions
  • Explores quotation history through company-level dashboards and historical indicators

Turn quotations into reusable knowledge.

Validation & Explore

The calculation rules have been checked against an operator's voyage workbook; those figures are not published.
