We challenge the legacy belief that freight is merely a shadow of global trade — instead, it empowers market participants to view shipping as a market force.
BulkVIX is an AI-powered bulk shipping intelligence platform, designed to revolutionize the way the maritime industry understands, forecasts, and benchmarks vessel deployment, route visualization with densities, and market conditions.
By leveraging real-time satellite and terrestrial data, proprietary machine learning models, and macroeconomic indicators, BulkVIX introduces a new class of data services — including real-time indices, route-based volatility scores, emissions analytics, and predictive freight rate signals.
Our Solutions
-
We extract real-world bulk trade corridors using satellite density & geography — not outdated origin-destination codes. We build live heatmaps of DWT fleet utilization, dynamically per vessel class, per corridor. Instead of relying on predefined benchmark routes, our AI identifies new, high-volume trade lanes in real-time, adapting as market conditions evolve.
-
Unlike static indices, our AI-based utility and volatility indices aggregates real-world transaction data, live satellite tracking, and global macroeconomic indicators to produce a real-time benchmark. An actual real time market benchmark reflecting bulk vessel movements, route usage and weightings, vessel utilization, and segment-specific congestion.
-
We overlay CO₂ emissions and route × vessel CII scores — to bridge market behavior with environmental impact. BulkVIX integrates CO₂ emissions and CII scoring per voyage/route, enabling:
Regulatory compliance visibility
Eco-efficiency benchmarking
Support for ESG-aligned investment and chartering
-
BulkVIX anticipates shifts before they appear in freight screens — forecasting vessel flows, basin imbalances, and volatility patterns so you can act early, not react late. AI-driven forecasts detect tightening basins, rising congestion, and utilization pressure — delivering forward views on freight sentiment and volatility. Know where to position, when to ballast, and when to wait. BulkVIX projects short-term supply, demand and congestion to guide route and timing decisions.
WHY IT MATTERS?
Freight Markets are no longer explained by price alone. They are driven by fleet decisions, trade-lane congestion, environmental efficiency, and behavioral volatility.
BulkVIX captures these dynamics by mapping how vessels move, how capacity is utilized, and how environmental performance shapes market structure.
The result is satellite data-driven view of the bulk shipping economy that goes far beyond traditional indicies.
