What does Kpler's Cargo Analytics cover for Ags, Metals & Dry?

Kpler Cargo Analytics delivers real-time and predictive intelligence across all major and minor bulk commodities - including coal, iron ore, grains, oilseeds, metals, minerals, and fertilizers. Every cargo is tracked vessel by vessel from loading port to final discharge, with granularity down to grade, sub-grade, and cargo quality. Coverage spans 16,500+ dry bulk carriers globally, 4,300+ dry installations, and is backed by 7+ years of historical data.

‍

How far ahead can Kpler's predictive models forecast cargo movements?

Kpler provides up to 15 days of predictive cargo flows at the vessel level, and delivers trade flow indicators up to seven weeks ahead of official customs data. The 18-month supply-demand balance forecasts extend further for strategic planning. All models are continuously backtested against customs figures to maintain accuracy rates of 95–99% across major commodity routes.

‍

How accurate is Kpler's dry bulk data compared to official customs figures?

Kpler rigorously backtests all cargo flow data against official customs figures. Accuracy rates consistently reach 95–99% depending on commodity and route. For example 99.44% for Chile copper concentrate exports, and 99.52% for Brazil soybean exports. In-house analysts continuously validate outputs to maintain this standard.

How does Kpler differ from other dry bulk data providers?

Most dry bulk intelligence is fragmented across point solutions with separate tools for vessel tracking, freight, trade data, and research. Kpler unifies all of this in a single platform, combining granular cargo tracking, freight economics, buyer/seller intelligence, predictive analytics, and expert research. The result is a coherent, connected intelligence layer that eliminates blind spots at the intersections of these data streams.

Can I integrate Kpler data into my own systems and models?

Yes. Kpler data is accessible via API, Python SDK, Snowflake Data Share, Kafka stream, and Excel Add-in, enabling direct integration into proprietary trading systems, risk models, and BI tools. Kpler also supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing teams to connect Kpler intelligence directly to internal LLMs for natural-language queries across commodity flows and freight markets.
