Cargo charterers & traders

Every owner's offer on your cargoes, in one book you can decide from.

Brokers bring you offers and indications all day. Your agent reads them as they land and keeps one book per cargo: vessel, open position, laycan fit, freight, demurrage, terms and approvals. Revisions merged. You counter and fix; it prepares the comparison.

This is office software, not vessel software. The agent runs at your shore-side chartering desk and reads your commercial mail. It has no connection to any vessel system. It prepares the comparison. You fix the cargo.

What it does

Your cargoes and the tonnage offered, in one place.

It reads every offer and indication as it lands and keeps the book current, so you compare and decide instead of rebuilding threads.

An offers book per cargo

Every owner's offer against each of your cargoes: vessel, open position and ETA, laycan fit, freight or lumpsum, demurrage, laytime terms.

Revisions merged

Repeated and revised offers from several brokers become one line, so you read the market once.

Vessel and terminal fit

Particulars from the Q88 checked against terminal limits, the cargo's requirements and your vetting approvals.

Freight and demurrage exposure

Offers compared on total cost, with demurrage risk weighed against expected port time, each number with its source.

CP and recap checks

Recap and rider clauses checked against what was agreed in the negotiation before subjects are lifted.

Laycan and nomination watch

Nominated vessels' ETAs tracked against laycan, and notices tracked to their deadlines, so nothing lapses quietly.

Source, working, answer

Every comparison shows its work.

Freight, demurrage, laycan, fit. Each number comes with its source line, the working and an answer you can act on.

Which offer works for the 13–14 Oct Sines cargo?

SourceThree owners' offers via brokers: freight USD 38.50, 39.75 and 41.00 pmt; demurrage USD 18,000, 16,500 and 15,000 pdpr; open positions from the offers.
WorkingBallast from each open position to Sines at the offered speed. Two arrive inside laycan, one is tight. Demurrage weighed against expected port time.
AnswerThe USD 38.50 offer is cheapest and on time, but carries the highest demurrage. The USD 39.75 offer is safer if the terminal is congested.
For youCounter drafts for both are ready for your broker.

On the desk

What it does on a chartering desk.

Patterns from real use, anonymized. Your cargoes, your shortlist, your call.

One clean book per cargo

Every owner's offer on one board, revisions merged. Sort by freight, by ETA or by laycan fit the moment you ask.

Laycans and notices do not lapse

It tracks each nominated vessel's ETA against the laycan and flags notices before their deadlines.

It has already read it

“Where is the recap? The CP terms? The Q88?” It does not search a folder. It has read them and brings them back with the source email.

How it starts

A colleague that joins the desk, not a platform to adopt.

No migration and no dashboard to learn. The agent reads the offers you already handle and keeps the book.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map how your desk compares offers: chartering mailboxes, shortlist logic, what makes a vessel acceptable. A working session, not a sales call.

  2. 02

    Connect and fit

    Live on your hardware, connected to approved mailboxes, fitted to your book format and rules. Corrections from the desk become lasting rules.

  3. 03

    Ask on WhatsApp

    “Show me everything that works for early June.” “Compare the two offers for the Sines cargo.” “Which nominated vessels are tight on laycan?” It answers with the source and the working.

Questions

What charterers ask first.

Does it run on the ship or in the office?

In the office, on a Mac mini at your desk. It reads your approved chartering mailboxes and files, with no connection to any vessel system.

Do I have to forward it the offers?

No. It is connected to your approved chartering mailboxes and reads offers as they arrive.

Will our cargoes and counterparties stay private?

Company files, the structured wiki, memory and working state stay on hardware you own. When a task needs the language model, only the context for that task goes to the provider you approved, on your own account, with training on your prompts switched off wherever the provider allows.

Does it fix anything on its own?

No. It builds the comparison and the evidence, and drafts counters for your broker. You negotiate and you fix.

Can it sort and compare offers the way I want?

Yes. By freight, ETA, laycan fit, area or total cost. Duplicate and revised offers are merged.
