Chartering Workflows

Chartering workflows, made simpler

From position lists to voyage monitoring and fixture recaps. Precise brings scattered shipping information together, keeps it up to date and takes care of the routine work.

More time to work the market and fix ships. Less time reconciling data and updating spreadsheets.

Position lists, built and kept current.

No more chasing emails, merging spreadsheets or checking outdated openings.

Precise builds and updates position lists using the latest openings from its network and your own data. It applies chartering knowledge to identify relevant ships, with the details you need to assess them.

  • Search areas by load port and vessel size
  • Fresh openings, outdated positions removed
  • Recalculated ETAs
  • Suitability checks and risk flags

Your position lists update as new information comes in.

Fresh information, suitable ships and fewer things to check by hand.

An MR position list for Rotterdam: a new opening, recalculated ETAs, suitability checks, two risk flags and an outdated position removed

A voyage from Algeciras to Rotterdam over a wave-height and wind forecast, with an Atlantic storm whose roughest seas reach the Bay of Biscay, the route ahead coloured by sea conditions, the weather-adjusted ETA, the required speed to make the laycan and a WhatsApp alert

ETAs that account for the voyage ahead

A ship’s latest position is only part of the picture.

Precise recalculates ETAs using actual sailing progress, vessel speeds, wind, waves and currents, with weather forecasts up to 15 days ahead.

  • Colour-coded routes by sea conditions
  • Required speed to meet arrival windows
  • Port times based on recent activity
  • Early warnings for missed laycans
  • ETAs updated as conditions change

If a vessel falls behind schedule or heavy weather threatens its arrival, Precise alerts you on WhatsApp.

Know about a potential delay before the next noon report.

Keep track of your fleet. And others.

Follow your vessels, or those of competitors, from a single view.

See their latest positions, destinations and calculated ETAs. Clear indicators for vessels running on time, facing delays or heading into heavy weather.

Information updates as voyages progress, so you can see what needs attention without checking every vessel individually.

What Precise AI did this morning: emails read, missing Q88s collected, Q88s and vessel details checked, replies and a fixture recap ready for review, and a request sent by WhatsApp voice message

Let AI handle the chartering workflows

Position lists are only part of the daily work.

Precise AI reads emails, collects missing documents, checks Q88s and vessel details, and prepares replies and fixture recaps.

Ask it to do something directly from WhatsApp, by text or voice.

Think of it as a new member of your chartering desk. It knows the business and gets the work done. You stay in control of every commercial decision.

FAQ

Precise collects openings from its network of shipowners, brokers and data partners, including paid sources. You can also add your own opening data, for ships of any size.

Our data pipeline cleans, cross-checks and deduplicates incoming reports, keeping the freshest available information when several sources report the same ship.

As new information arrives, your position lists update automatically.

We start with highest-quality AIS data for the latest positions. Precise then models the voyage using:

  • observed and planned vessel speeds
  • ship characteristics
  • wind, wave and current forecasts up to 15 days ahead
  • estimated port times

ETAs are continuously recalculated as new information arrives. If a ship risks missing its arrival window, you get an alert on WhatsApp.

Much of the work that normally means going back and forth between emails, lists and Excel.

Precise AI collects openings, keeps position lists current, finds missing documents, checks Q88s, verifies vessel details and drafts fixture recaps.

It also follows voyages 24/7, with updated ETAs and early alerts when something changes.

The information stays current and cross-checked, without having to rebuild everything by hand.
