OPERATOR PLANNING · SIH26006
Charter Decision
Freight outlook, vessel feasibility and risk-aware procurement for India’s bulk imports. Decision support for human review; not an actual SAIL charter instruction.
Procurement outcome

No recommendation computed
A missing model, vessel or commercial input cannot become a charter instruction.
Contract structure & fixation
Freight forecast → market-entry timing / uncertainty → SPOT vs multi-voyage comparison → fixation exposure → FIX / WAIT / PARTIAL FIX.
Price fixed ≠ capacity secured
A floating-price Contract of Affreightment (COA) / multi-voyage contract can secure capacity without fixing freight price.
SPOT: Single-voyage exposure at prevailing market terms. Flexible, but exposed to repeated short-term freight volatility.
COA / multi-voyage: An agreed cargo quantity carried across multiple voyages or over a defined period, improving capacity and cost predictability when economically justified.
TideForge evaluates when repeated spot chartering should remain optimal and when short- or medium-term multi-voyage coverage becomes preferable. Contract horizon: Input required → Input required.

INPUT REQUIREDNo comparable alternatives yet. Approved rates, vessel evidence and complete contract terms are required; COA is never forced to win.
Sources & evidence readiness
No live fixtures, AIS, weather or congestion connection is claimed. Reference sources and historical research are distinct from operational evidence.
Decision record
Append-only receipts retain the recorded outcome and verification fingerprints. Recomputing requires the original governed inputs; a record does not grant operational clearance.
Enter a requirement and check readiness on Freight Forecast or Mission Control. Use the explicit reference-demo action for the frozen synthetic demonstration.
