What shipping firms send us
The technical depth without the technical friction.
The data your analysts already compile every morning — routes, rates, disruption, bunker. Weekly video makes it sticky for clients who'd otherwise skim the email.

Dense written expertise still matters. Video gives more of your audience a way into it.
Why video
Speed and substance, both.
Shipping clients respect technical depth. They also want immediacy when the market dislocates. Video carries both — the analysis and the urgency.
Same-day on disruption
Red Sea attack, Suez grounding, Panama drought — when the market dislocates, we target same-day turnaround on your desk's commentary so your counterparties get your view before the news cycle moves on.
Technical vocabulary respected
We don't dumb down the analysis. Baltic indices, TCE, scrubber spreads — the terminology stays intact. The production translates format, not substance.
Branded series consistency
One recognizable visual signature across every weekly update. Counterparties see the shape, open the link.

FAQ Practical questions,
Practical questions,
straight answers.
Every engagement is scoped around your material, approval process, cadence, and audience.
01 Can you turn a desk note into video on the same day news breaks? +
Yes, for major disruption events (canal closures, attacks, geopolitical). Same-day turnaround is the target. If rapid response is central to your distribution strategy, we scope the capacity into the recurring engagement rather than treat each event as a scramble.
02 Do you understand the technical vocabulary? +
Yes. TCE, BDI, VLSFO spreads, laycans, demurrage — we produce for industry audiences who want the real terminology, not a watered-down version.
03 Can you animate rate charts? +
Yes. Rate data from your system (BDI, sub-indices, route-specific) gets animated in-video with your branding. Data can be piped from your existing analytics or sent as CSV each week.
04 Can you work with our existing research distribution list? +
Yes. We deliver video + thumbnail to your existing email/Bloomberg/Telegram distribution — not a separate channel. Same recipients, richer format.
