AI for Tanker Chartering
Drafts the emails. Files the documents. Tracks the deadlines. Your operators approve — they don't type.
What UpArate Does
Operators spend most of their day relaying email between charterers and owners, filling indemnities and stowage plans, and chasing deadlines. UpArate handles all three.
Recaps, voyage orders, freight invoices, heating and COW instructions, STS clearance. Engine classifies the inbound, extracts the fields, and writes the reply for the operator to approve.
LOI templates auto-completed from the charter party, the recap, and the voyage context. Green for confidently filled, amber for fields the operator must confirm. No blank-template back-and-forth with the P&I Club.
Laycan narrowing, B/L chase after sailing, post-voyage Master silence, EDP suppression. UpArate schedules the alerts and clears them when the confirming inbound arrives.
How It Works
UpArate connects to the operator's mailbox via Microsoft Graph. Every new message runs through the engine before the operator opens it.
A recap, voyage orders, an LOI template, or an SOF lands in the operator's Outlook inbox.
UpArate classifies the message, extracts the fields, fills any templates, and writes the reply.
The draft appears in the operator's dashboard. Approve as-is, edit, or reject. Edits teach the engine for next time.
UpArate sends from the operator's mailbox, files the documents, and schedules any follow-up alerts.
UpArate is built alongside a senior tanker operator with two decades on the desk. The engine knows the difference between COSP and BOSP, when EDP suppresses a B/L chase, and why an STS clearance needs both sides' docs in the same thread. It's designed around the email rhythm of a real tanker desk — not a theoretical workflow drawn on a whiteboard.
Every guardrail, every alert, every template variant comes from a real incident on a real voyage. We don't ship features the operator wouldn't recognize.
