Chartering
User Journey
Few functions within the commercial maritime shipping organization are as vital to profitability as chartering. Arguably the most complex and critical role in the maritime shipping workflow, the charterer is tasked with fixing profitable voyages, evaluating ongoing opportunities, adapting to market conditions, and actively moving contracts to operators for execution.
With robust pre-fixture capabilities and a dynamic, interactive scheduling workspace, the Veson IMOS Platform powerfully enables charterers to work with new efficiency and insight. Let’s take a closer look.

The IMOS Platform enables charterers to centrally manage terms across a full range of contract types, from TCs to VCs, COAs, and other unique contracts. As charterers work to fix the most beneficial business, IMOS automatically populates contract terms, eliminating opportunity for error and freeing up valuable time.
