We help Dry Bulk shipping professionals calculate precise freight indications. If you aren't familiar with any shipping lingo, that sentence probably makes little sense. In a nutshell: Shipping is the backbone of global transport, usually categorised into three major industries: containers, liquid and dry shipping. The latter, also known as Dry Bulk, is by far the largest of them all. Shipping 'offers' are made between the owner of the goods (needing transport) and the ship owners (the party which offers the transportation). The fastest and cheapest offer usually wins. These offers are based on initial freight indications, which are constantly exchanged. The Dry Bulk shipping industry, however, is notorious for being imprecise in its calculations and far behind when it comes to digitalisation. Global decarbonisation efforts and shrinking profit margins are pushing the industry to its limits, forcing companies to utilize all available data, of which there are oceans (pun intended)! This is where BlueKey comes in handy: We've developed a search platform, which collects and indexes all kinds of data from multiple sources. From public data sources (BlueKey Dry Bulk) to private, internal company data (BlueKey Corporate): this award-winning search engine allow ship owners, charterers and brokers to effectively make use of maritime data points (as well as internal operations data, in the case of BlueKey Corporate), which makes for faster and more accurate freight indications. To put it in perspective: An experienced chartering manager usually calculates between 20 to 30 freight indications per day. Each calculation takes up to 20 to 30 minutes (and usually requires back-and-forth via phone and email to fetch precise numbers). With BlueKey, the chartering manager is now able to calculate a precise freight indication in less than five minutes, without having to contact colleagues, port agents, fuel brokers, captains, and so on. BlueKey is a search engine capable of finding port info, vessel status, real-time bunker prices, cargo movements, tools for efficient navigation, and more. The platform is a 'one-stop-shop' complete with auto-completion, search predictions and even integrated tools for collecting and sharing the results. We currently serve users from around the globe via our off-the-shelf BlueKey Dry Bulk solution, and we are (with the same technology) developing enterprise solutions (BlueKey Corporate) to customers in Japan, Singapore, Norway, Monaco and Denmark. And we're only just getting started.
