Beyond the headline rate

The best match is the one with the strongest voyage economics.

A low freight rate can hide an expensive voyage; a high rate can hide a poor one. Our AI-supported system ranks every option on the whole picture in seconds, so the strongest overall economics win.

Rate is one input
Ballast, port time, bunkers and delay risk decide the outcome as much as the headline number.
Framed for our principal
For a charterer we read delivered cost; for an owner, net earnings. Always like with like.
Assumptions in view
Uncertain inputs shown as assumptions, not presented as facts, so the comparison is honest.

Whole-voyage, not headline-rate

Comparing on freight or hire alone rewards the wrong option. We frame each candidate on the economics that actually decide the outcome.

For charterers

  • Look past the freight rate to the delivered cost
  • Weigh vessel suitability alongside price
  • See the hidden cost of a cheap but weak-fitting vessel

For owners

  • Look past the headline rate to net earnings
  • Factor in ballast, idle time and utilization
  • Surface the opportunities with the strongest net economics
Two options at the same rate can produce very different results once ballast, port time and delay are in the picture. The number that should win is the net result, read in the open.

Sourced assumptions, clear scenarios

Comparisons are built on stated assumptions and scenarios you can see — not a single fixed number. Where an input is uncertain, it's shown as an assumption, not a fact.

Economic trade-offs, in the open

Two options rarely win on every measure. Your broker lays out the trade-offs so the choice is deliberate.
