Market intelligence

We built our own instruments because nothing on the market told us what we needed to know.

They exist because a broker needed them. A broker who built instruments and will show you what they see.

Inside the market

  • We watch the Baltic continuously.

    Vessel movements from several independent feeds, port calls, arrivals and departures.

  • We know where the tonnage is and when it comes open.

    Open positions assembled continuously from the market's own traffic, by segment.

  • We price a voyage properly, not roughly.

    The freight per tonne a voyage must earn to hit a target return, from real distance, the ship's own consumption, bunker prices and port costs at both ends.

  • We measure congestion instead of guessing at it.

    Daily anchorage congestion for Baltic anchorages, with a trend and a baseline.

  • We follow a fixture after it fixes.

    Voyage events against the recap, laytime read from the statement of facts, demurrage exposure before it becomes a claim.

What they are for

These instruments inform our judgement. They do not replace it.

They show where the tonnage is, how the market is moving and what a voyage has to earn, so that every enquiry and every piece of advice starts from the market rather than from a guess.

We built them ourselves, so they adapt. If a client needs a view we do not yet have, we add it.

From market view to advice

  1. 01

    We read the market

    Movements, open positions and congestion show what is realistically available, and when.

  2. 02

    We test it against your case

    Your cargo, ports, dates and volumes go through the same voyage economics we use when we broker.

  3. 03

    We say what it means

    A recommendation you can act on: which offer, which route or which vessel, and why.

The number comes from direct owner conversations, not a database.

The instruments narrow the field. The figure we put in front of you is confirmed with owners and operators in the market, and we tell you what it rests on.
