Optimization across container, tanker, bulk, port and network.
The questions you're actually asking
Most operators don't shop for "an optimizer." They walk in with a question their finance team can't answer. Each card below maps one of those questions to the product that answers it.
Vessel utilisation
Right cargo, right vessel, right voyage — every slot earning its maximum contribution. Are we leaving margin on the table by accepting low-contribution cargo?
Answered by
OptiFleet
Empty container cost
Empty repositioning sits behind bunker, terminal and charter as a cost line — and most of it is still planned regionally. One global plan vs. a dozen local ones.
Answered by
OptiBox
Responsiveness
When a port congests or a vessel slips, what does a schedule rebuild actually cost? Minutes — or three days of arguing?
Answered by
OptiFleet
Planning speed
Hours per voyage in stowage planning, compliance checks, lashing validation — how much of that is mechanical and could be automated? Containers and bulk are different problems with different engines.

SONATA · BOPT
Stowage optimizer
Multi-port container stowage plans with full IMDG, GM, stress, lashing, and stack-load validation.
Fleet & service optimizer
Weighs every variable in your network — port rotations, fuel curves, charter rates, empty equipment, demand.
Empty container optimizer
Tracks global container imbalances, forecasts demand, and routes empties between surplus and deficit ports.
Tanker fleet optimizer
Tanker scheduling with grade-compatibility, automatic tank-cleaning insertion, TC-vs-spot optimization.
Bulk stowage planner
Pre-fixture loadability for chartering desks and automated multi-hold, multi-grade stowage plans for operations. The bulk-side counterpart to SONATA in containers.
Tug scheduling optimizer
AI-powered tug scheduling on a 6-hour rolling window — right tug, right vessel, right time. Cuts fuel burn, berth delays and emissions across the port.
Strategic network optimizer
Re-design a full global container shipping network — port sequences, vessel classes, speeds, cargo flows — in around an hour. 14M binary variables, Hexaly local search. Strategic-tier optimizer.
Decision matrix
Oil & gas major / cargo owner
Grade-compatible TC fleet scheduling across discharge ports for cargo owners.
Bulk operator
Stowage planning and grade-aware loadability for dry-bulk fleets.
Port operator / Tug owner
Right tug, right vessel, right time — 6-hour rolling schedule with IMO 2030 ESG built in.
Strategic / Alliance planning
Re-design a full global network in hours — stress-test alliances, replan under disruption, save $50M+ per decision.
