Sector
Demurrage is a scheduling failure that arrives as an invoice.
Bulk and energy movements concentrate very large value into a small number of decisions: which vessel, which berth, which window. The binding constraints are jetty capacity, draft, tide, and contractual laytime, and waiting is charged by the day.

Berth, jetty, and corridor intelligence for bulk terminal and energy logistics operators.
Interact with the problem
Close a strait and watch the network reprice. Transit, cost, and flow move together, and none of them move in your favor.
The map reroutes itself, at a price.
Close a chokepoint and watch the network answer.
Chokepoints are priced at zero until the day they are priced at everything. Adaptive networks pay the option premium in advance.
What the core does here
Four capabilities, one engine.
Berth and jetty scheduling.
Assignment and sequencing under congestion, with a bound rather than a guess.
Read the methodLaytime and demurrage exposure.
Simulated under disruption rather than assumed at contract signing.
Read the methodCapacity valuation at the berth.
Shadow prices on scarce jetty and window capacity, priced explicitly.
Read the methodTerminal and storage siting.
Structural decisions taken against scenarios rather than a single forecast.
Read the methodThe core solves this problem class today in adjacent sectors. There is no production deployment in this sector yet. We would rather say so than imply one.
From the Journal
The thinking behind the surface.
The engine is the same across every sector. Only the surface changes.
If your network makes decisions under uncertainty, we should talk.
We work with a small number of operators at a time. Tell us what your network is optimizing for.
