Kpler, a leading subscription-based data and analytics platform, is today introducing its new Chartering Suite, a comprehensive pre-fixture platform designed to streamline workflows for shipbrokers, charterers, and shipowners.
Built as an independent, data-rich, and user-friendly solution, Kpler Chartering brings together tonnage and cargo lists, AI-powered email parsing, market fixture data, and voyage estimation—all within a single interface.
While chartering platforms have existed for years, many have remained largely disconnected from market analytics and trade intelligence. Kpler's approach appears to bridge this gap by linking real-time vessel tracking, cargo availability, and broader trade flows into a single system.
Shruti Bansal, Chartering Director at Kpler.
Shruti Bansal, Chartering Director, Kpler, commented: “We engaged extensively with shipbrokers, charterers, and owners across different regions and workflows. What we heard was consistent: existing systems no longer meet modern expectations. With this launch, we're redefining how chartering is done, bringing simplicity, speed, and intelligence to a space that's long overdue for change. It's about helping our clients move faster, charter smarter, and stay ahead.”
