Use Case: Charterer Optimising Vessel Planning

A charterer is entering a new market and needs to verify vessel compatibility with a Southeast Asian port. They also want to assess congestion and opportunities for cargo operations. With the Port Overlay, they can:

• Confirm vessel compatibility by checking historical port calls and the observed LOA, draught, and DWT.
• Get congestion insights by viewing vessels at the port and recent turnaround times.
• Explore the types and volumes of cargo passed through this port.

For more detailed vessel movements and cargo patterns, the charterer can use the Voyages and Flows screens.
