How it works

From inquiry to fixture —
one structured deal flow.

Broker, owner, and charterer each get a role-built dashboard. The deal room keeps everyone aligned — from first search to signed fixture.

The deal flow

Six steps. Every party in sync.

The same structured path on every tanker fixture — with the right person seeing the right view at every stage.

01

Find tonnage — or list it.

Charterer · Owner

Charterers search live available vessels by route, laycan, and class. Owners put open tonnage in front of the market. Results stay anonymised until a serious inquiry begins.

02

Submit a structured inquiry.

Charterer

One clear request — cargo, ports, laycan, quantity — lands with the right broker. No WhatsApp chains. No guesswork about what was asked.

03

Open a shared negotiation room.

Broker

When the cargo fits, the broker opens a deal room. Offers, counters, and documents live in one thread — visible to the parties who need them.

04

Owner stays in the loop — privately.

Broker · Owner

The owner watches the negotiation in real time and advises the broker on a private side channel the charterer never sees.

05

Progress through clear stages.

All parties

Every deal moves through the same path: Negotiation → On Subjects → Fixed. Everyone sees the current stage on their dashboard.

06

Close the fixture. Keep the record.

All parties

When terms are agreed, the fixture is locked with a full audit trail — messages, documents, and earnings — ready when you need them.

The deal room

One room. Everyone who matters.

Broker and charterer negotiate in the main thread. The owner has a private side channel with the broker — they see everything, they talk only to their broker. Clean. Controlled. Audit-trailed.

  • Main thread for offers, counters, and documents
  • Private owner channel — invisible to the charterer
  • Stage badge live for every party on the deal
