Charterers using Seaber’s scheduling and optimisation platform can now transfer selected fleet scenarios to Veson Nautical’s IMOS as saved voyage estimates, the companies have announced, allowing them to compare vessel and cargo combinations before committing to a fixture.
The integration connects Seaber’s optimisation engine with IMOS, which calculates voyage routes, freight, profit and loss (P&L) and time charter equivalent (TCE) figures.
Charterers can build and compare fleet schedules in Seaber before transferring a selected voyage to IMOS in a single step, removing the need to manually reconcile vessel positions and cargo options across spreadsheets and position lists.
IMOS remains the system of record, where estimates can be refined before being passed to operations, while scenario planning in Seaber allows teams to assess alternative schedules without affecting live voyage P&L.
“An estimate tells you what one voyage is worth. A schedule tells you which voyages your fleet should run, in what order, and what the whole plan earns,” said Seaber Chief Revenue Officer Jean-Guy Faubert.
The integration is intended to reduce the time between evaluating fleet deployment options and creating estimates for potential fixtures, with voyage and financial data transferred directly between the two systems.
“By connecting Seaber’s optimisation solution directly to IMOS, we’re removing a manual step that slowed teams down between planning and commitment,” said Veson Nautical VP of Strategy and Operations Matt Filosa.
