Welcome to a joined up world
Your end-to-end fixture management solution
SeaFix/ is a collection of online applications that aid the management of fixtures, providing benefits and efficiencies at each stage of the process. The modules work together to provide a joined-up flow of data from the start of a fixture (where you are gathering intelligence) through to execution (where you are negotiating a fixture), to documentation (where you draw up charter parties) to monitoring (where you can visualise the voyage itself and report on performance).

How will SeaFix/ be adopted?
Internally
If you work in a chartering, operations or within a respective stakeholder team, SeaFix/ will impact how you work in some way. Between now and the end of June team specific communications will be sent out explaining what this means. You'll have access to introductory sessions, resources, demo environments, formal online training, support from internally appointed 'focus points' and support of the technology partner at Sea/.
In our day-to-day roles of fixture management and freight transaction management, we collaborate frequently with counterparties, who will also have access to some of the SeaFix/ modules, in order that everyone can realise the full potential of the technology solution.
Externally
As you start to get more familiar with the modules within SeaFix/ we will start to communicate our move to trial SeaFix/ to our external counterparties. This will include vessel owners and brokers, who will go through a similar onboarding process to become knowledgable and proficient in the number of the modules so that we can collaborate effectively. Many of these counterparties may already be using some of the modules in their own capacity or with other charterers.
You can connect with them on Sea/chat, negotiate a fixture via Sea/trade or work with them across a charter party on Sea/contracts.
With training and onboarding starting early, it ensures that everyone feels confident to go live with the trial system in July 2021.
