Maximising Voyage Profitability and Efficiency with SOPF
Seven Oceans, the market leader in commercial shipping trade solutions, proudly announces the official launch of Seven Oceans PreFix (SOPF). This industry-intelligent chartering tool is set to redefine how commercial players manage their most critical pre-fixture decisions.
A Complementary Companion to SOC
SOPF extends our commitment to maximising voyage profitability and cost efficiency for ship owners, operators, charterers, commodity traders, and shipbrokers worldwide. This innovative platform leverages advanced AI and comprehensive data integration to transform complex estimations into actionable insights. It provides a decisive competitive edge in the dry bulk, tanker, and gas segments.
Intelligent Pre-Fixture
The maritime industry constantly navigates volatile markets, complex regulations, and the demand for faster decision-making. Traditional estimation methods often fall short. They struggle with fragmented data, manual calculations, and the sheer volume of variables. SOPF addresses these challenges head-on. It provides a fast and efficient chartering tool for the chartering desk. Users can swiftly identify the best possible fixture based on profitability for revenue earners and cost optimisation for cargo owners.
Unveiling SOPF's Core Capabilities
SOPF stands out with a suite of features engineered for superior performance:
AI-Enhanced Estimation Engine:
At the heart of SOPF lies an intelligent engine that ensures fuel consumption data is kept close to accurate via novel algorithms. This allows for the auto-feed of vessel data, commercial parameters, short and optimal distances, and routes. The result? Rapid TCE calculations – in seconds! You can compare unlimited voyages in an instant, allowing you to choose the most profitable decision.
Complete Data & Passage Planning:
All trading vessels in the industry are available for calculations. Commercial speed and consumption data are easily imported. Passage planning is intuitive, with distances populating automatically. You have the flexibility to edit, including zonal restrictions, canals, ECA selections, piracy zones, and more. ECA and normal distances are calculated automatically.
Decarbonization at Your Fingertips:
Staying compliant and sustainable is easier with SOPF. It covers costs against decarbonization for European and International regulations. You receive automatic results for grades used in ECA zones, EU ETS results for the cost of Carbon, and calculated Fuel EU Bunker penalties applied directly to your voyage estimates.
Seamless Bridge from Pre-Fix to Post-Fix:
Built on the successful process flows of SOC, SOPF offers the most elegant decision charts. Users can choose the best fixture. It covers all complex charter party conditions and business types, including dry, tanker, and gas. As a standalone chartering tool, SOPF acts as a seamless bridge from pre-fixture into your broader commercial operations, integrating via API and data transfer connections with SOC and external applications.
