Information wins fixtures. But only if it reaches you in time, and in a form you can act on. Chartering teams receive hundreds of cargo and vessel circulars every day. For many chartering desks, processing market circulars has become one of the most time-consuming parts of the commercial workflow. The challenge isn’t getting access to market information. It’s turning fragmented shipping circulars, position lists, and tonnage lists into commercial action before the opportunity is gone. Market visibility grows with relevant opportunities, not the number of emails in your inbox. Modern chartering teams require one dedicated workspace for market circulars. Your Circulars transforms your own broker emails into structured commercial information, while seabo Market expands your market coverage with additional market circulars beyond your inbox. One workspace. Two sources of market intelligence. A faster route from circular to fixture. |

Despite digitisation across the maritime industry, email remains the primary channel for exchanging cargo and vessel circulars. Brokers distribute market information to hundreds of contacts simultaneously. Owners, operators, and charterers receive overlapping updates throughout the day, often from different sources and in different formats.
This system has endured for decades because it is fast, open, and deeply embedded in the way the spot market operates. But it also creates a new challenge. As market activity increases, information becomes fragmented across personal inboxes rather than shared commercial workflows.
Most chartering desks do not suffer from a lack of information. They suffer from fragmented information. Fragmented information creates fragmented decisions.
For most chartering desks, email has become the market workspace by default. Market circulars arrive across personal inboxes, broker relationships, mailing lists and regional networks. The information is there, but it is often buried in email threads, locked inside individual folder structures or only visible to the person who received it. For a chartering desk, this creates three operational problems.
there is too much noise. Charterers spend valuable time reviewing circulars that are not relevant to the vessel types, cargo sizes, laycans, trading areas or commercial segments they cover.
there are too many blind spots. A chartering desk may believe it has full market coverage, while relevant cargoes, open vessels or tonnage positions are circulating outside its own inbox.
there is too much manual work. Relevant information must be copied from emails into cargo sheets, vessel lists, voyage calculations, project files, negotiation workflows, or maritime CRM systems.
That slows down decision-making. Better market coverage leads to better commercial decisions. And in voyage chartering, slow decision-making can mean missing a fixture.
Chartering desks need more than traditional maritime email management. Email remains the communication layer, while market circulars need a structured environment where information can be shared, filtered and turned into commercial action. The Circular Inbox complements your existing email workflow rather than replacing it.
one workspace for every market circularModern chartering teams rarely rely on a single source of market information. Commercial decisions are based on broker relationships, market circulars and day-to-day market activity across multiple channels. The Circular Inbox brings these complementary sources together in one workspace. |

Most chartering desks already have strong broker networks. The challenge is turning hundreds of broker circulars into structured market data that the entire team can use.
Forward your chartering emails to seabo once. Incoming broker circulars are parsed automatically and converted into structured, searchable market data for your team.
Your own inbox becomes a shared source of market intelligence.
Market coverage depends on more than the broker circulars arriving in your own inbox. Even well-connected chartering desks cannot see every opportunity through their existing network alone.
seabo Market broadens your coverage with additional market circulars in the same workspace. No inbox forwarding. No setup. Just open seabo and start working with a broader view of the market.
Together, both features turn the Circular Inbox into a central market workspace: your own broker circulars on one side, and additional market circulars from beyond your network on the other.
Chartering emails are automatically categorised, structured and made searchable. Teams no longer need to rely on manual inbox sorting or individual folder structures.
Your Circulars structures the market you already receive. Commercial teams benefit from a broader view of the market through additional circulars beyond their own email inboxes. Together, Your Circulars and seabo Market help chartering teams see more of the market and reduce blind spots.
Filtering by commercial criteria helps charterers move faster from market input to a qualified opportunity. Instead of asking “What came in today?”, teams can ask “What is relevant for our desk right now?”
Every broker update becomes part of a shared commercial view. This improves collaboration across the chartering desk and reduces reliance on individual inboxes, personal relationships or private email archives.
Market information creates value only when it becomes part of the commercial workflow. The Circular Inbox connects market circulars directly to Cargoes, Fleet, Projects, Voyage Calculations and Negotiations, allowing teams to move from market intelligence towards a fixture without unnecessary manual steps.
The Circular Inbox is a dedicated workspace for cargo and vessel circulars. It helps chartering teams structure, filter, search and act on market information from their own broker emails and additional circulars available through seabo Market.
Your Circulars structures the circulars your team already receives by email.
seabo Market provides access to additional market circulars beyond your own inbox.
Both appear inside the Circular Inbox and connect to the same commercial workflow.
No. The Circular Inbox complements your existing email workflow instead of replacing it.
Your email client remains your communication tool, while the Circular Inbox is the workspace where cargo and vessel circulars become structured, searchable and ready for commercial action. It is purpose-built for chartering workflows rather than general email communication.
AI helps parse incoming circulars and extract relevant commercial information such as vessel details, cargo details, laycan, size, region and location. This reduces manual data entry and makes high volumes of broker circulars easier to process.
Yes. The Circular Inbox reduces shipping email overload by moving circular processing out of personal inboxes and into a structured workspace. Circulars become searchable, filterable, and accessible to the entire team instead of being scattered across individual email workflows.
Yes. Teams can filter circulars by relevant commercial criteria such as vessel type, size, laycan, region, trading area or charterer. Customised submarkets allow each desk to save a market view tailored to its specific focus.
The Circular Inbox turns personal inbox information into shared market intelligence. This allows multiple charterers to work from the same structured view of cargoes, vessels and market activity, improving collaboration and knowledge sharing across the desk.
Relevant circulars can move directly into Cargoes, Fleet, Projects, Voyage Calculations and Negotiations. This connects commercial information to the entire commercial workflow, from identifying vessels and matching cargoes to negotiation and concluding fixtures.
The Circular Inbox is built for dry bulk chartering teams, shipbrokers, owners, operators and commercial desks that process high volumes of cargo and vessel circulars and need a faster way to turn market information into commercial action.
