What is a cargo offer?
A cargo offer is a broker email describing cargo that needs a vessel, usually including cargo type, quantity, ports, laycan and remarks.
Why it matters in shipbroking
Cargo offers are one side of the matching problem. Brokers need them searchable, deduplicated and linked to the source email before acting.
How LaycanMatch uses it
LaycanMatch extracts cargo offers from broker emails and turns them into searchable records that can be matched against vessel positions and vessel offers.
