For TC chartering; any vessel type.
ShipIntel Pre-fix reduces manual work and simplifies decisions by giving you the insights and tools to make informed choices quickly.
As a chartering manager, you're familiar with the complexity of your role. Maximizing the earnings (TCE) of your company's portfolio of vessels and cargoes involves hours of gathering information, managing communications, and running pre-voyage calculations. The process is not only time-consuming but also repetitive, especially when considering chartering a vessel from the market.
Optimizing the TCE for your portfolio is a crucial task, one that requires you to minimize costs for bunker and carbon emissions. However, the process is often hindered by the need to juggle multiple software programs and perform manual tasks.
ShipIntel Pre-fix can streamline these processes, allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
A shipbroker spends significant time creating position lists to identify vessels and mapping cargoes to give qualified advice to their principals. You spend hours studying which vessel can lift specific cargoes and meet the laycan windows. It involves a lot of manually gathering and organizing information, which is time-consuming and tedious.
By automating this process, you can free up valuable time to expand your business knowledge and establish business relationships that can help you succeed in your role.
In shipping the volumes of emails can be enormous. In ShipIntel Pre-Fix, you can efficiently track your emails from the moment they arrive in your inbox, through the classification (type of emails), and into your cargo and TC requirements list. The auto-parsing feature lets you quickly find how many new cargoes or TC requirements you have received in the last 24 hours, saving you valuable time.
You can group cargoes quoted by several ship brokers, but keep track of which brokers you have received the cargoes from.
You can add cargoes to your workspace and do pre-voyage calculations with a few clicks. You can also add vessels from your fleet and compare their TCE and carbon emissions with market vessels "on the go."
When you have fixed a vessel or cargo, the emails and correspondence are attached to the pre-voyage calculations, and you can quickly do a digital handover to your Postfix team. The cargo is then tagged "fixed" in your email inbox.
Is the cargo or TC requirement an available market, private, or COA cargo, and are the cargoes still open?
Have you or any of your colleagues conducted pre-voyage calculations or entered into negotiations for the cargo? Is the cargo fixed on subs, fixed and failed, or fully fixed? Has the cargo or the vessel been fixed to a competitor?
In shipIntel Pre-Fix, you will find tagged cargoes and the status of each cargo email that gets in your inbox in the cargo list and Outlook.
It's crucial to keep track of your statistics. This will help you find how many of the calculated cargoes you've given an offer to and negotiated, and how many cargoes you have fixed and failed, or fixed where subs were lifted.
Create a workspace and add cargoes, run pre-voyage calculations, and compare the TCE / freight rates for many vessels and cargoes in seconds. Add the cargoes from your cargo list, and add vessels; from your fleet. Easily find vessels that can reach your laycan window or search for specific vessels by name in the global database.
Create workspaces for the Baltic cargoes so you can quickly benchmark groups of market cargoes and fleets of vessels with your vessels. Calculate on COA cargoes and consecutive voyages.
Calculate on TC trips with ballast legs and bonus, or you may need to find a replacement for a vessel running late for the laycan window.
Set a TCE target for a group of pre-voyage calculations and get the freight rate and vice versa.
Get your team’s /company’s updated fleet lists (your owned vessels and TC period vessels) in your pocket, and assign responsibilities for each vessel among colleagues.
Find an overview of which vessels are owned or chartering. Find a TC overview for the vessels you have hired for a period (when and where the vessel was delivered, the period of time with options for redelivery, and where to redeliver the vessels) so you know for how long you have the vessels at your disposal and when and where the vessels have to be redelivered. Then, you can run pre-voyage calculations for vessels in your fleet in seconds.
Use the email parser to update the vessels in your fleet with their noon emails.
No worries! You will find all the relevant vessels available for your cargoes in the market database, so create a workspace, click/add the COA cargo to your workspace, and start checking out which market vessels might reach your laycan window so you can hunt them privately.
When you have found suitable vessels matching your laycan window and the other cargo requirements, you can do a good deal. For the owner, it might give them a higher TCE and a good freight rate because the vessels match perfectly. Then, you should call your broker and ask him to privately reach out to the owner of the vessels.
While some vessels set a destination, others don't. So we have transformed a master thesis into practical features and developed a predictive model which forecasts where the vessels will sail. This model's accuracy is evaluated by comparing its prediction with the actual destinations, so it is improved continuously. We are pleased to make this feature available to you and we are committed to continuously enhance its performance and accuracy.
Since we have an in-house pre-processing AIS pipeline for live as well as historical AIS data, we use this data investment, machine learning algorithms and the in-house built sea route engine, to build models.
So yeah ShipIntel destination model can "predict pretty accurate" what vessels will do in the future.
We call it "Destination predictions".
Search and find one vessel or a group of vessels by their technical dimensions, live and historical AIS data.
Make, save and have the live position lists auto-updated.
* Find vessels in ballast condition able to meet a laycan window in a specific port
* Find vessels just left a port in laden condition with a set destination
* Find vessels in an area “just now” and find when they will be in a specific port or region.
Create unlimited number of lists of vessels and add them as layers in your map.
Tailor-made alerts so you will be notified about changes in your list or when the vessels set a destination to a port, arrives or depart a specific anchorage, port or berth.
Find historical AIS data attached to each vessel and find whether they loaded or discharged in visited ports
Though the sea route calculator is not a navigational tool for navigators, we are very proud of it. We recommend comparing the ShipIntel sea route calculator with any other sea route calculator.
With ShipIntel, you can create and save sea routes calculated from any of the vessel's real-time AIS positions to any port or combination of ports, or you can route between ports. ShipIntel warns if you try to route a vessel through a canal or strait if the canal constraints show that your vessel is too large to pass.
Want to avoid ice? Optimal ECA zones? Avoid canals? Find optimal ECA sea routes, shortest sea routes, and alternative sea routes so you can compare the distance, ETA, and calculated carbon emissions.
The sea route calculator is excellent for user cases such as your vessel is on its way to Tubarao with an ETA on the 1st of March, and your broker asks if your vessel can go to Itaqui instead and asks when she will be there. Or, you are asked to give 3 new discharge options after you have fixed the vessel, and you want to give the ETA to the different optional load ports and quote a freight rate.
It is available on laptops and mobile phones.
We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. This allowed us to quickly calculate time, distance, and carbon emissions from any vessels' AIS positions to any ports .We added more features because we gained access to high-quality AIS data, smart AI searches, and a very user-friendly software at an affordable price.
There are too many stand alone software, and we have started looking for a kind of one stop software that gives us what we need at an affordable price. It is a huge advantage to have such software developed by industry professionals and to be invited to contribute with ideas and new features without being invoiced.
We chose ShipIntel because it is an innovative solution, easy to use, and comes with a very competitive price. We continued using ShipIntel because the Maritime Optima team continuously develop and maintain the software. We also think it is an advantage that maritime software is developed by people that have been working in the industry. So the easy to use, relevancy, high AIS quality and price makes ShipIntel a unique maritime software box.
We believe ShipIntel stands out on key points such as coverage, search/filters/lists, and user interface. The highly skilled IT team is supplemented with experienced shipping people, so we are confident that ShipIntel will continue developing to our benefit.
