Two hours of spreadsheet work, replaced by one second. Every port, speed and volume, priced against the whole book.

FOR 34,000 EVALUATED SCENARIOS ON A SINGLE CARGO DECISION
Five ports, one speed, four hours.
01 · THE OLD ROUTINE
The manual netback routine evaluates 3 to 5 ports per cargo, keeps speed constant at 16 knots and fixes volume at the vessel default. Boil-off is a flat estimate, canal impact is guessed, ballast return is ignored, and the result is outdated the moment prices move.

03 · THE CALLS
The JKM-TTF spread blew out overnight. Divert?
A ship is on the water. The diversion is priced against your real fleet and slots, with every knock-on effect on the rest of the book, before the window closes.
The broker offers a 174k vessel for Q1
Take it or stay spot, decided against your real portfolio instead of a freight matrix.
18 idle days on Hull C in March
Sub-let, spot cargo or buffer: each option valued against the whole book, not the single hull.
Panama slots cancelled overnight
Pay the auction at millions or sail 9.5 days around: both paths priced with every downstream consequence.

04 · THE POINT
A freight matrix prices the voyage.
The book pays for it.
The same voyage inside a real portfolio has a different value, because it consumes a ship, a slot and time the rest of the book also wants. X-Netback answers in a second; inside X-LNG the same decision is priced with the detour’s cost to the rest of the schedule.
Not claims. Published case studies.

Common questions.
07 · FAQ
- What does LNG shipping optimisation software do?
- It prices shipping decisions, diversions, charter-in and charter-out, sub-lets, speed and routing, against the whole LNG book rather than voyage by voyage, and keeps every proposed plan feasible against canals, slots and berth windows.
- Why is a freight matrix not enough?
- A freight matrix prices a voyage in isolation. The same voyage inside a real portfolio has a different value, because it consumes a ship, a slot and time the rest of the book also wants. Priced against the book, the answer routinely flips.
- What sits inside the netback number?
- Full round-trip costing with laden and ballast legs, boil-off exact per route, canal fees with Suez, Panama and the NE Passage on toggle, EU ETS carbon cost, and TTF, JKM and Brent side by side per port.
- How fast is it in practice?
- 34,000 scenarios in under one second for a single cargo decision, recalculated live on every parameter change. The manual routine it replaces takes 2 to 4 hours per cargo.
