Bearing AI launches Cargo Prediction tool

This new tool allows users to predict a vessel’s next loading port with a single click, providing a crucial edge in pricing and strategic positioning.

“With AI-powered Cargo Prediction, we’re giving chartering managers new insights to outmanoeuvre the competition and make every voyage more profitable,” said Aleksandar-Saša Milaković, senior product manager and naval architect at Bearing AI.

“It’s not just about winning the next bid, it’s about seeing what’s ahead, positioning strategically and unlocking the full earning potential of every vessel.”

In the fast-paced shipping sector, winning bids often depends on competitive pricing, but long-term success relies on effective planning and vessel use.

Bearing AI’s Cargo Prediction tool replaces the traditional return route backhaul in time charter equivalent (TCE) calculations, using AI to forecast the next loading port and helping users win more bids, maximise TCE and optimise vessel positioning.

Integrating seamlessly with TCE calculators, the solution offers a comprehensive set of features, including one-click cargo forecasts, region-specific insights and a visual map with color-coded demand spikes.
