VOLAX ChartExec · Chartering & Commercial Operations

Commercial intelligence meets operational execution.

The only chartering module that shares a dataset with your technical ship management. Voyage estimation, fixture management, laytime and demurrage, hire billing, and port disbursement operate on the same records as PMS, procurement, and crew — so voyage P&L reconciles automatically.

Why commercial and technical must share data

Every off-hire event has a technical cause. Every voyage P&L has an operations story.

Commercial chartering software that doesn’t talk to technical ship management forces reconciliation. Off-hire logged in one system, incident logged in another, cost captured in a third. VOLAX ChartExec eliminates the swivel — the same equipment failure that raises a PMS work order automatically flags the off-hire in ChartExec and the cost in Finance.
