Real-time maritime trade intelligence and quantitative macro insights for global markets.
CargoMetrics is a premier technology-driven investment and data firm that serves as the 'bridge' between physical maritime logistics and global financial markets. Its architecture is built upon a high-frequency ingestion engine that processes billions of AIS (Automatic Identification System) signals, satellite imagery, and port records. By applying proprietary machine learning models to vessel draft changes and spatial patterns, CargoMetrics translates raw maritime movement into precise commodity flow indicators and macro-economic signals. As of 2026, the company has solidified its position in the 'Quant-as-a-Service' market, providing institutional investors and global supply chain officers with sub-daily updates on oil, iron ore, and grain movements. The platform's technical core excels at noise reduction—filtering out 'ghost' signals and erratic AIS data to provide a clean, unified view of global trade. Its 2026 market position is defined by its integration of environmental metrics, specifically tracking carbon intensity and CII compliance at the individual vessel level, making it indispensable for ESG-focused institutional trading and maritime risk management.
Proprietary algorithms that analyze vessel displacement changes to calculate the exact tonnage of cargo loaded or discharged.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
AI-driven filtering of erroneous AIS data, including spoofing detection and gap-filling for disabled transponders.
Spatial analysis of vessel queues at over 500 global ports, calculating wait times and throughput delays.
Identification of vessels that turn off AIS transponders in sensitive zones using satellite 'cross-checking'.
Uses historical vessel patterns and port of origin data to predict the specific grade of commodity (e.g., WTI vs Brent) on a ship.
Real-time calculation of CO2 emissions based on vessel speed, engine type, and load status.
Customizable spatial boundaries that trigger API webhooks when specific vessel classes enter or exit.
Official energy reports are lagged by weeks or months.
