FORECAST
Estimate freight-market direction and route-rate exposure
Start with governed Panamax market forecasting and an explicit baseline fallback. Route-rate forecasting awaits historical fixture targets.
Freight forecasting first
Decision framework
Fix. Wait. Partial fix.
Compare the options. Understand the exposure.Maritime freight intelligence
Forecast freightbefore youcharter.
TideForge combines governed freight forecasting, uncertainty simulation and charter optimization for overseas bulk cargo movement to India's East Coast.
Freight forecasting first.
Charter optimization second.
SIMULATE
Stress-test freight, fuel, vessel and delay uncertainty
Compare exposure across common freight, vessel, fuel and delay scenarios. Keep hypothetical conditions separate from forecasts.
Uncertainty made explicit
OPTIMIZE
Compare FIX / WAIT / PARTIAL FIX charter strategies
Apply the freight outlook to charter timing using expected cost, CVaR95 and Cost of Waiting.
Charter optimization second
How TideForge works
Forecast first.
Every assumption in view.
Freight forecasting frames the outlook. Simulation explores uncertainty. Charter optimization turns that outlook into a decision.
- 01
Start with the freight forecast
Identify the market signal, horizon and evidence. A route-specific USD/MT forecast requires historical fixture-rate targets.
- 02
Explore freight uncertainty
Keep forecast uncertainty distinct from hypothetical freight, fuel, vessel and delay scenarios.
- 03
Optimize the charter strategy
Compare FIX / WAIT / PARTIAL FIX on common futures, then review downstream procurement impact.
From freight outlook to commitment
Start with the forecast.
Then consider the charter.
