Beyond the headline rate
The best match is the one with the strongest voyage economics.
A low freight rate can hide an expensive voyage; a high rate can hide a poor one. CharterDeck compares options on the whole picture, so the strongest overall economics win.
- Rate is one input
- Ballast, port time, bunkers and delay risk decide the outcome as much as the headline number.
- Both sides, one frame
- Cargo owners read delivered cost; vessel owners read net earnings — compared like with like.
- Assumptions in view
- Uncertain inputs shown as assumptions, not presented as facts, so the comparison is honest.
Whole-voyage, not headline-rate
Comparing on freight or hire alone rewards the wrong option. CharterDeck frames each candidate on the economics that actually decide the outcome.
For cargo owners
- Look past the freight rate to the delivered cost
- Weigh vessel suitability alongside price
- See the hidden cost of a cheap but weak-fitting vessel
For vessel owners
- Look past the headline rate to net earnings
- Factor in ballast, idle time and utilization
- Surface the opportunities with the strongest net economics
Two options at the same rate can produce very different results once ballast, port time and delay are in the picture. The number that should win is the net result, read in the open.
Sourced assumptions, clear scenarios
Comparisons are built on stated assumptions and scenarios you can see — not a single fixed number. Where an input is uncertain, it's shown as an assumption, not a fact.
Economic trade-offs, in the open
Two options rarely win on every measure. CharterDeck lays out the trade-offs so the choice is deliberate.
