For Industrial Charterers

Charterers use Seaber to achieve minimum cost per ton-mile

Together with Seaber’s offering for shipowners, we can jointly improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions by optimizing schedules for TC, CoA and spot contracts, and port calls and avoid unnecessary repositioning of vessels.

Your challenge

Charterers face a range of important considerations when it comes to assessing their shipment scheduling options, understanding the market conditions, and taking a decision. Unfortunately, the tools typically used to support this process are no longer fit for purpose and are outdated.
‍
Reliance on multiple spreadsheets, the risk of manual errors, and the inefficiencies introduced by old and unreliable data mean that the scheduling and chartering processes are riddled with inefficiency and risk, making it increasingly tough to find the optimal solution on time.

Many charterers also have a growing interest in reducing the carbon impact of their cargo movements, but the carbon-efficient voyage is tough to find if relying on traditional tools.

How can today’s charterers take advantage of the latest technological advances to find a better solution for chartering optimization?
