Kpler, a prominent subscription-based data and analytics platform, has unveiled its latest innovation: the Kpler Chartering Suite. This new pre-fixture platform is designed to enhance the efficiency of workflows for shipbrokers, charterers, and shipowners. By offering a user-friendly and data-rich solution, Kpler Chartering consolidates tonnage and cargo lists, AI-driven email parsing, market fixture information, and voyage estimation into a cohesive interface.
While chartering platforms have been available for years, many have struggled to integrate effectively with market analytics and trade intelligence. Kpler seeks to address this issue by merging real-time vessel tracking, cargo availability, and extensive trade flows into one interconnected system. According to Shruti Bansal, Chartering Director at Kpler, feedback from extensive engagement with industry stakeholders highlighted the shortcomings of existing systems.
She stated, “We’re redefining how chartering is done, bringing simplicity, speed, and intelligence to a space that’s long overdue for change.” This launch aims to empower clients to make faster, smarter chartering decisions. Kpler Chartering offers multiple features designed to eliminate inefficiencies:
– Tonnage List Automation, capturing dynamic updates from email parsing and AIS data to ensure comprehensive vessel tracking. – AI-Powered Email Parsing that structures essential market information to minimize manual work.
– Best-in-Class Vessel Tracking, utilizing leading AIS data for precise vessel positioning and availability. – A Live Voyage Calculator for immediate calculation of distances, costs, and emissions to enable data-driven decision-making. – Integrated Market Intelligence & Pricing, providing real-time insights for improved negotiations and market visibility.
– Pre-Fixture Risk & Compliance Screening, incorporating vessel risk data and compliance indicators. With its focus on independence, neutrality, and transparency, Kpler Chartering is set to transform the pre-fixture process. The platform’s intuitive design enhances user experience while allowing for flexibility in data management.
By harnessing automation, AI, and detailed market intelligence, Kpler is poised to revolutionize decision-making in the shipping industry.
