It is one record, not five tools
The reason a desk ends up with a spreadsheet per problem is that the tools do not share a record. A position that becomes a fixture here keeps the same ship, the same charterer and the same dates all the way through to the laytime sheet, so nobody retypes a vessel name into a fourth file and nobody discovers at demurrage time that two of the four disagree about the laycan.
The register is the part nobody else gives you
Most chartering software assumes you already know the ship. Atlas ships with the world merchant fleet and the ownership behind it, which is what turns a cargo into a list of candidates rather than a memory test. The four ownership roles are kept apart, because the registered owner, the beneficial owner, the commercial manager and the technical manager are four different companies more often than they are one.
The five surfaces
- Position listsOpen tonnage with a date and an area against it, built from the circulars that arrive in the mailbox rather than typed in again by hand.
- Vessel registerThe world merchant fleet with particulars and the four ownership roles, searchable by the things a broker actually filters on.
- Laytime and demurrageThe statement of facts kept as events, so the demurrage figure falls out of the timeline instead of being reconstructed in a spreadsheet months later.
- Voyage estimatorFreight against bunkers, port costs and canal dues, on real distances, priced across several ships at once rather than one at a time.
- MarketplaceCargo and open tonnage posted across desks. On every plan including the free one, and a listing is a copy rather than a window onto anyone's book.
There are also three free tools that need no account: a laytime calculator, a TCE calculator and an IMO number checker.
