Our
Mission
Our mission is to transform complex market dynamics into rigorous forecasts, models and planning scenarios that support informed decision-making under uncertainty.
The Company develops integrated analytical models and forecasts designed to support informed decision-making for manufacturers, logistics operators and transportation companies. The Company's services support the analysis of production, sales and transportation planning, taking into account port congestion, vessel utilization rates, effective fleet capacity, container availability, carrier capacity management, blank sailings and other industry-related factors affecting maritime transport flows. The Company's models are based on research into the interrelationships between commodity and raw-material markets, freight markets, trade-flow indicators, industry data and relevant macroeconomic information.
The Company's principal services include customized short-term and medium-term analysis and forecasting for manufacturers and carriers. By integrating forecasts of commodity prices and transportation costs, the Company prepares planning scenarios and analytical materials that allow clients to assess future transportation demand, compare alternative production and logistics plans, and consider possible adjustments in response to anticipated market conditions.
The Company's services also include risk quantification and market exposure analysis for clients seeking to assess exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, raw-material costs and transportation expenses. Where relevant, analytical outputs may use published freight and commodity futures market data solely as inputs into freight-rate and commodity-market analysis. The Company does not recommend, execute or arrange transactions.
