Run pre-voyage calculations and TCE for a portfolio of vessels and cargoes in seconds

When you're managing a portfolio of vessels and cargoes, you need to run voyage calculations for every possible combination of cargo and vessel combination, including different voyage options and routing combination. At the same time, you have to plan ahead — thinking about what to do next time when the vessel is open. Is it better to fix the vessel for a trip out to the Far East or to do a cross Atlantic voyage. Is your vessel better fitted for a coal cargo or do you need to find a vessel to TC in from the market.

Pre-voyage calculations have become increasingly time-consuming and complex. Optimizing TCE is no longer just about matching the right cargo with the right vessel — it also requires careful planning around where to bunker, which fuel grades to use, what prices to expect, and how much carbon emissions will cost for each voyage option.

Pre-voyage planning can easily take up half your day so you have little time left for evaluating and negotiating, and later when you compare the TCEs from your pre-voyage calculation with the post-voyage calculations, most likely there is a huge difference.

Why ShipIntel:

  • Find the best cargoes for your fleet of vessels and the best vessels for your COA cargoes. Use your cargo list or your fleet list to find the best matches based on criteria you select (load port, cargo type or size, laycan windows, next open port and when and more.
  • Want to create more business? Pick a TC vessels quoted by your brokers and quickly find the TCE for different market cargoes quoted by your brokers.
  • Perform pre-voyage calculations and compare various TCEs for a portfolio of cargoes and vessels in seconds.
  • Use one tool to run voyage, TC, and TC trip calculations and compare the options.
  • Include bunker planning and carbon emissions in your calculations. Estimate fuel consumption, bunker prices and cost, and CO₂ impact as part of your pre-voyage calculations.
  • Find the shortest sea route, alternative routes, minimize sailing in ECA zones or avoid canals.

Automate time-consuming tasks and free up time

Managing a constant stream of emails, messages, and searching through internal folders and online sources is time-consuming and stressful. Finding the right information when you need it is a challenge, and it’s difficult to focus on what really matters. Repetitive tasks waste valuable time, and legacy systems which are not designed for chartering and shipbrokers hinder you to work smooth and fast.

Why ShipIntel:

  • Don’t waste time on opportunities that are gone or don’t match your portfolio of cargoes and vessels.
  • Strengthen your business network, find which broker has quoted you the cargoes, and have supported you over time, and pick the broker you prefer to start negotiating with.
  • Get auto filled in emails when you have done your calculations to quickly start negotiating and give an offer.
  • Find threads from receiving the cargo quote in your Outlook email inbox, give an offer, negotiate and a recap.
  • Find status labelled on cargoes: open – in calculation – in negotiating – fixed or subs or fully fixed. Cargoes can also be archived for later statistics.
  • Find that fixture notes are done in seconds after you have negotiated and fixed a vessel or cargo (including recaps, attachments, internal notes and pre-voyage calculations). Ready to be handed over to your live scheduling of your fixtures (commitments) and to operations.

We are impressed with its sleek, responsive, and easy-to-use interface and we're excited to leverage its full potential in our day-to-day operations.

We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. 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 softwares, and we have started looking for a kind of all in one software that gives us what we need at an affordable price.

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.
