BAF, emergency fuel surcharges, EU ETS pass-throughs and green fuel premiums are becoming major ocean freight cost components. VesselBot helps shippers benchmark these surcharges against real voyage execution, bunker market data and regulatory exposure.
Most ocean fuel surcharge mechanisms rely on fuel prices, trade lanes and assumptions. But real fuel exposure depends on what actually happened.
VesselBot turns these signals into an independent reference layer for marine fuel surcharge governance.
Compare carrier-applied BAF and emergency fuel surcharges against an execution-based fuel surcharge reference, and validate whether disruption-related surcharges are supported by actual incremental fuel exposure.
Identify cases where similar vessel execution results in materially different fuel surcharge treatment.
An unbiased view that sits between carrier invoices and your procurement team.
Fuel price matters, but it is only one part of the equation. In ocean freight, market reality means:
That is why VesselBot combines bunker market data with AIS-based vessel movements, route execution, port activity, TEU utilization levels, fuel consumption models via vessel-specific digital twins and regulatory cost logic.
Use VesselBot to:
Move from accepting carrier-declared surcharges to understanding the operational and market drivers behind them.
