FAQ
Kpler automatically consolidates vessel circulars from your inbox and market sources into a single, deduplicated Tonnage List, enriched with real-time AIS position, cargo history, compliance status, and CII rating. Filter by open date, zone, vessel type, or ballast route in seconds, then cross-reference directly against your live Cargo List to match the right vessel to the right cargo before your competitors do. No spreadsheets, no inbox hunting - just a structured, always-current view of available tonnage at a glance. This dramatically reduces time-to-fixture and helps you capture better rates before spot market conditions change.
Kpler's voyage calculator tools combine real-time vessel performance data, fuel consumption models, route optimization, and market freight rate intelligence to help you accurately estimate total voyage costs and compare economics across vessel options. You can model different routes, vessel types, and market conditions before committing to fixtures, ensuring you're not overpaying relative to market. This gives you the data to negotiate better with brokers and vessel owners based on actual economics, not guesses.
Kpler's live Tonnage List gives you a real-time, deduplicated view of every open vessel in your region - showing current position, open date, ballast route, and estimated arrival, all auto-populated directly from your inbox circulars and market sources at 99% parsing accuracy. Backed by Kpler's AIS coverage of 36,500+ vessels tracked globally, you can see exactly where each vessel is sailing, how fast, and what it last carried. Filter by zone, laycan window, or vessel type in one click so you always know what's genuinely available, not just what's been circulated.
Yes. Kpler's Cargo List and Tonnage List work in tandem - both deduplicated, both updated in real time from your inbox and market sources. With all your cargoes consolidated in one screen and all available tonnage enriched with AIS position, open date, and compliance status, you can scan, compare, and match across multiple opportunities simultaneously without switching tools or chasing email threads. What used to take hours of manual cross-referencing becomes a matter of seconds.
Kpler gives you the port-level intelligence to anticipate delays before they happen. Through Kpler's Freight Analytics, real-time congestion data shows exactly how many vessels are waiting at each port, average waiting times, and how conditions are trending - so you can factor realistic laytime into your voyage calculations upfront. The Voyage Calculator lets you model port costs and transit times against live market conditions, while AIS tracking on 36,500+ vessels gives you ground-truth visibility on berth availability and vessel queues at your loading and discharge ports. The result: fewer surprises at the port, tighter laytime estimates, and demurrage clauses negotiated from a position of knowledge rather than guesswork.
