Bearing AI, the leading maritime artificial intelligence solutions provider, unveiled its AI-powered Cargo Prediction tool, designed to empower tramp chartering managers to outperform competitors in the high-stakes spot market.

Unlock Competitive Advantage with Predictive AI
In today’s fast-paced shipping industry, winning bids require competitive pricing, but maximizing TCE over time hinges on effective planning and vessel utilization. Bearing AI’s Cargo Prediction replaces the standard return route backhaul in TCE calculations with an AI-powered prediction of the next loading port, enabling chartering managers to bid more competitively and retain more of their profits.
With Cargo Prediction, chartering managers can:
- Win more bids: Gain a competitive edge by predicting the next loading port before bidding.
- Maximize TCE over time: Minimize ballast voyages and optimize backhaul strategies with precise cargo demand insights.
- Optimize vessel positioning: Seize future cargo opportunities and capitalize on unexpected demand spikes across global regions.
