What is a vessel offer?
A vessel offer is a broker email describing a vessel for employment, usually including vessel name or type, DWT, open port, dates and trade area.
Why it matters in shipbroking
Vessel offers are time-sensitive. A broker needs to compare DWT, route, laycan and trade direction quickly.
How LaycanMatch uses it
LaycanMatch extracts vessel offers from broker emails and ranks them against cargo requirements using DWT, route, laycan, port zones, confidence and recency.
