Bulk Marine Voyage Lifecycle Management
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Bulk liquid marine operations (crude oil, refined products, chemicals, LNG) involve complex voyage lifecycles from chartering through laytime calculation through demurrage reconciliation. These workflows are entirely manual, fragmented across broker systems, port agents, and internal databases.

The Outcome (After)
End-to-end voyage lifecycle tracking from charter nomination through vessel tracking, port-call monitoring, laytime calculation, and demurrage reconciliation. Document AI extracts voyage-level data from broker communications.
FourKites extends real-time tracking, document AI, and demurrage dispute automation to bulk marine, a segment legacy visibility platforms leave unserved.

How it works
By digitizing the full voyage lifecycle from charter to demurrage settlement, FourKites converts a manual, error-prone process into an automated operations platform, reducing demurrage exposure and improving voyage planning accuracy.
Port congestion data, vessel performance benchmarks, terminal dwell analytics
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
FourKites brings tracking, document AI, and automated financial dispute into bulk marine — a segment traditional visibility platforms don't cover. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward; building it on top of 11 years of cross-company global movement intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
