A maritime AI-based decision support system, for shipbrokers, shipowners and cargo operators to help your save hours and have more time to be proactive. For dry cargo, tankers and LPG.
As a chartering manager your work is to find the best possible combination of cargoes and vessels to maximize the earnings (TCE) of your company's portfolio of vessels and cargoes.
This involves hours gathering information, reading emails, managing communications, and running pre-voyage calculations.
Then you spend hours running pre-voyage calculations, one by one, to compare the TCE for portfolio of cargoes and els, but you might also want to charter in vessel instead of using one of your own, but then you to do all the voyage calculations all over again for that market vessel.
You want to optimize the TCE, but you also have to minimize bunker consumption and carbon emission cost, and there are too many software you have to spend time to learn and login into.
This process takes countless hours and need to be done before you can understand what to do, explore new business and discuss with your brokers.
As a shipbroker, you might find yourself spending a significant amount of time creating position lists to identify which vessels are capable of lifting specific cargoes and meeting the laycan windows. This often involves manually gathering and organizing information, which can be time-consuming and tedious.
By automating this process, you can free up valuable time to focus on building your industry knowledge and forging business relationshipsthat can help you succeed in your role.
ShipIntel Pre-fix reduce manual work and simplifies decisions by providing you with the insights and tools necessary to make informed choices quickly.
“Follow the voyage of / track” your emails from they are sent to your email inbox, through classification (type of emails) and into your machine readable cargo and TC requirements list, where you also can find how many new cargoes or TC request have arrived during the night.
When you are quoted the cargo xx number of times you may want to group the e-mail quotes.
Group emails that belong together so you are ready when you fix a cargo or a vessel; you can attach the group of email correspondence to the pre-voyage calculations and do a digital handover to your post fix departure.
Find the status of each of the cargo that arrives in your email inbox and until it is fixed.
Is it an available market cargo, a private cargo or a COA cargo, and are they still open?
Stay on top of every cargo's status. Has your team done the pre-voyage calculations or entered into negotiations? Determine if the cargo is fixed on subs, fully fixed, or perhaps the cargo or the vessel was missed to a competitor and fixed externally.
Keep track of how many of your calculated cargoes you've given an offer to and negotiated, and how many cargoes you have fixed and failed, or fixed and subs were lifted.
Create a workspace and add market cargoes or market vessel on the go and compare the TCE in seconds. Then you always know which cargo or vessel to chase – obviously it is the one that gives you the best TCE and minimal carbon emissions and the best open position.
Create workspaces for the baltic cargoes so you quickly can benchmark groups of market cargoes and market vessels with your own fleet and cargoes.
Calculate on TC trips with ballast legs and ballast bonus.
Set a TCE target for a group of pre-voyage calculations and get the freightrate.
Calculate on consecutive voyages.
Have your digital fleet list view wherever you go and assign responsibilities to your team for each of the vessel.
Find an overview of which vessels are chartering on TC, the period they are chartered in and the redelivery area and time window, so you know for how long you have the vessels at your disposal, and when and where the vessels have to be redelivered.
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 just upload the COA cargo to your workspace and add market vessels from the database , so you know which vessels gives you the best TCE results.
When you have found the right vessels you can call your broker and ask them to help you get the vessel privately outside the market.
Many of the vessels don't tell where they are heading when they are "underway using engine" and on a sea passage, so the reported AIS destination is not always correct.
Since we have an in-house pre-processing AIS pipeline for live as well as historical AIS data, we use this data investment and the in-house built sea route engine, to predict where the vessels are going next.
So ShipIntel can actually predict pretty accurate what vessels will do in the future based on; the past, the present, the sea route engine, a lot of manual added data, machine learning and AI. we call it "Destination predictions".
For those of you who are working as a ship-broker or chartering manager, the dynamic search is the next generation position list.
ShipIntel dynamic search can answer questions like;
“I’m considering fixing a cargo from US Gulf to Chiba which vessels do I have to expect competing with my vessel when she is open (free of cargo) in Chiba?
When the lists are made and saved you can be notified about changes in your lists; if vessels change the compass course or speed, new vessels match your dynamic search, or vessels “leave” your lists, if they arrive or depart at an anchorage, port or berth.
Today you do these search through filters but dynamic search and dynamic vessel lists with routing are the ShipIntel CoPilot MVP - your everyday maritime companion.
We chose ShipIntel because it is easy to use, it is an innovative solution and comes with a very competitive price.
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.
