Access vessel-level cargo data, forward-looking flow aggregations, freight rate assessments, fixture and loading pace analytics, all updated intraday across all three commodity streams.

This solution serves trading desks, research teams and government bodies — providing unique visibility of global seaborne flows and better enabling them to anticipate market movements with faster, data-driven decisions. Underpinning the platform is a unique vessel destination prediction algorithm, robust human-in-the-loop validation processes and advanced analytics that power our forward-looking flow aggregates.

Cargo Tracking with powerful dynamic maps

Drill down into detailed cargo and voyage information for crude, refined products and LNG.

Benefits of Energy Aspects’ Maritime Analytics

The data you need to track, analyse and anticipate global seaborne energy flows in one place.

Enhanced destination accuracy

Utilise a unique methodology to accurately identify vessel destinations and ETAs, ensuring precise planning and decision-making. This powers forward-looking cargoes and complements our market information collection engine. 

Predictive volume insights

Access forward-looking flow assessments for all origin and destination combinations. Our flows nowcasting framework builds on raw individual cargo data to deliver the most accurate possible view of month-end volumes for the current and following month — providing a holistic, market-wide perspective on import-export dynamics. 

Freight Analytics 

Access freight rate forecasts for major routes, fixture pace and loading pace analytics. Filter the data by location and vessel class. Fixture Pace measures the rate of new voyage charters being agreed, while loading Pace tracks confirmed cargo loading at origin.

Our Cargo Tracking coverage

Vessels dashboard:

Monitor shipping routes of interest or individual vessels and their cargoes. Tap into cargo particulars, such as specifications and grade as well as vessel charterer and cargo supplier/buyer.

Flows Nowcasting:

Dynamically aggregate flows based on route and commodity. Access port-level nowcasts for month ahead, for all possible combinations of ports or countries. Our large-scale market data aggregation combined with our cutting-edge ability to generate implied fixtures, provides best in class forward looking aggregate flows.

Storage, transit & diversions:

Leverage metrics and visuals on floating storage and oil in transit. We use a combination of traditional AIS-based techniques and satellite earth observations to assess volumes in storage. Capture revisions to see the evolution of volumes on a route basis.

Data accessibility & connectivity:

Leverage a user-friendly front end with the ability to save favourites and build custom dashboards. Extract vessel data on MS Excel via our Excel Add-in. Extract data systematically via API.

Our data is now also accessible via Snowflake.

Freight Analytics 

Freight rates 

Freight rate forecasts segmented by vessel class and trade route. A forward-looking view provides directional market context alongside the spot assessment.

Fixture pace 

Measures the rate at which new voyage charters are being agreed in the market. Covers both load-side and discharge-side fixture activity globally, across dirty and clean tankers.

Loading pace

Tracks the rate of physical cargo loading at origin based on confirmed load events. Validates whether nominated volumes are actually lifting as scheduled — a critical signal for short-dated physical market monitoring.
