Q88 Position List was formulated with encouragement from the brokerage community to build a product that met its needs in a ‘clean’ way. Following the success of building the reputation of Q88.com in the cloud for almost a decade, our Position List platform finally delivered what brokers needed.
Now as we continue to meet the needs of brokers in an operating environment that is subject to rapid change, the challenge is for Q88 to continue to grow its capability and its industry reaches. In the pursuit of these goals we have added a wealth of new features since launch, such as:
Q88 Position List uses multiple AIS sources to improve the accuracy of vessel location so brokers can feel more confident in the position data provided. We provide intelligence on busy maritime routes by combining Satellite AIS and T-AIS that cover the earth 24/7.
Q88 Position List provides daily fixture imports using data sourced from a 3rd party provider. The platform functions as a place where brokers store fixtures for ready reference with fingertip access.
Multiple views of the same search result allow you to see results presented in different ways.
We are excited to announce the launch of the TCE Calculator as part of our Position List product offering.
This added feature will provide brokers improved financial voyage estimations, create efficiencies, save time and eliminate the use of third party and/or custom-built tools.
Position List clients can search for vessels and have estimated earnings for their customized results displayed in a easy to read format. This gives our users the ability to make a quick analysis of the results, a competitive advantage.
The mobile app gives brokers the ability to take Q88 Position List out of the office. Gone are the days are waiting on calls from clients. When you leave your desk, feel confident knowing you can send a list from any location with connectivity.
From your mobile device:
Searching with Q88 Position List is built on a simple idea: You do not have to look too far to find what you are looking for. The software simplifies search by letting you tailor various criteria without having to ‘dig’ or drill down to define them.
Dropdown menus allow users to rapidly set search criteria for vessel specifications and AIS positions. You save, share and edit searches to prevent needless repetition in configuring searches.
CO2/EEOI: In the TCE Calculator view, we now give you the option to add columns that will allow users to see estimates for CO2 and EEOI. This is done on a ship-by-ship basis, based on open positions, estimated consumption, distance traveled and other criteria that go into this calculation. Column options include the full voyage as well as laden passage only.
Analytics
Construct tonnage supply lists based on your needs; each list will provide a 30 day look-back of the history of that supply. Track tonnage supply trends over time by analyzing data based on geographical criteria and vessel-specific data.
Predictive
By turning the “Predictive” module on, you can see next commercial open position of the ship. The predictive does not interfere with your saved position, and can also be included in your analytics.
