Empowering Chartering Professionals
We build the tools that help ship chartering professionals achieve their best through complete automation and renewed workflow.
Our Story
Efficiency is the key to thrive in a competitive shipping market. Smart Sea Freight was founded with a singular mission: to give chartering professionals the digital tools they need to make faster, more accurate, and more profitable decisions.
Our platform automates the entire chartering workflow — from initial cargo assessment and vessel matching, through voyage estimation and fuel calculation, to post-fixture operations including laytime, demurrage, and accounting.
With support for 5 vessel fuel types (Non-Scrubber, Scrubber Fitted, LNG, and 2 custom configurations), and automatic fuel zone distance splitting, we've eliminated the spreadsheet errors that cost chartering desks millions.
