Better broking with position list information that’s fast and easy to use
Why use slower, more complicated methods?
When you are broking, how can you be certain that you have the best position list information?
Open position lists might show that there are hundreds of ships that could potentially meet the needs in question. You need to understand which are the most appropriate, and quickly too, because, after all, time is money!
But open positions aren’t the whole story. Variables such as possible laycans, draft restrictions and different routing options are all critical to your decision making. Weeding out unsuitable vessels to make a shortlist of the most appropriate tankers can take a lot of time, especially if you need to resort to doing intake calculations manually.
And when it comes to software, not all systems are created equal. Some software applications quickly become dated, their vendors slow to adapt to fast changing technology trends. They can be slow and complex, and for some, the cloud may not even have happened yet!
