Turn shipping emails into structured vessel and cargo matches.
NKX reads vessel and cargo circulars from your inbox, classifies each message, extracts the key terms — DWT, laycan, ports — and surfaces matching opportunities. No new tools. No re-typing. Just faster response to the market.

Shipping brokerage runs on email.
That won't change.
Shipping brokerage runs on email. That won't change. But the volume keeps growing, and manual processing can't keep up.
Emails arrive faster than teams can triage them
Vessel positions, cargo requirements, and freight enquiries land in a shared inbox without structure. Reading and categorising each one takes time your team doesn't have.
Critical details buried in message threads
Laycan dates, cargo specs, and port instructions are scattered across forwarded chains. Missing or misreading one detail can cost a fixture.
No structured history to search against
Past circulars vanish into inbox archives. When a similar requirement comes around, there's no searchable record to check previous positions or offers against.
Matching depends on who's at the desk
Open positions and cargo requirements live in individual brokers' heads or disconnected spreadsheets. When someone is out, that knowledge is unavailable.
From raw circular to matched opportunity
From raw circular to matched opportunity — without touching a spreadsheet.
Ingest
Market emails and broker circulars are picked up as they arrive — no forwarding, no copy-paste. Supports forwarding rules and shared inbox configurations.
Email-based ingestion with no changes to your current workflow.
Classify & Parse
AI reads each message, decides whether it is a vessel position or cargo enquiry, and extracts DWT, laycan, ports, and cargo type into structured fields.
Handles abbreviations, mixed formats, and incomplete information typical of broker circulars.
Enrich
Port names are normalized — 'INCHEON', 'INCHON', and 'ICN' all resolve to the same port with coordinates for distance calculations.
Port normalization database covers APAC trading routes and regional spelling variants.
Match
Vessels and cargoes are compared by port proximity (PostGIS), DWT capacity, and laycan overlap. Relevant pairs surface as candidates for your team to review.
Match scores are calculated from DWT/laycan/distance criteria.
Alert
Your team receives structured match results — vessel name, cargo details, match score — ready to review and act on immediately.
All fixture decisions, negotiation, and execution remain entirely in your hands.
Built to fit how chartering teams actually work
NKX isn't a replacement for experienced brokers. It removes the low-value, time-consuming work that gets in the way of making deals.
Designed for existing workflows
NKX is built to layer onto your existing email workflow with low-disruption onboarding. The goal is minimal change to how your team already operates.
Speaks your language
DWT, laycan, load port, discharge port, open position, option ports — NKX is built around the fields that matter in dry bulk chartering, not generic CRM terminology.
Built for higher-volume email workflows
As the volume of positions and enquiries grows, the value compounds. NKX is designed for teams that handle a steady flow of chartering correspondence, not occasional one-off emails.
Built with operational context
NKX was designed with dry bulk chartering operations in mind — not adapted from a generic document processing tool. Shipping terminology, fixture formats, and email conventions are built into the core.
Structured output, not raw AI
Extractions include structured review context — source fields, original text, and supporting references — so brokers can see what was parsed and assess the result.
Asia-Pacific port coverage
Port normalization database covers APAC trading routes and regional spelling variants. Distance-based matching uses coordinates, not keyword search.
Designed for teams that live in the inbox
NKX is focused on dry bulk operations in Asia-Pacific where email-based workflows are standard and team capacity is the constraint.
Dry bulk brokers
Small and mid-sized firms, APAC-focused
Teams managing a high volume of inbound position circulars and cargo enquiries by email. NKX helps brokers process more opportunities without increasing headcount.
Chartering teams
Operators and charterers with in-house desks
In-house chartering desks at trading companies or industrial operators who handle freight procurement directly. NKX surfaces matching tonnage and provides structured match results before the first response.
Operations-heavy teams
Fixture execution and post-fixture teams
Teams responsible for fixture execution, vessel scheduling, and post-fixture operations where missed detail in email threads creates downstream risk. NKX creates structured records from unstructured correspondence.
NKX is currently operating as a pilot program. Access is limited and onboarded through direct engagement. If your team doesn't fit these segments exactly but you work with unstructured shipping correspondence, get in touch.
