Why It's Cheaper

Most importers pay
for the whole voyage.
You pay only
for time used.

In standard voyage charter, the market rate includes buffers for every possible risk — weather, congestion, slow steaming. You pay for all of it, whether it happens or not. With AGRIX time-charter management, you pay only for what actually happens. Everything else is optimised in your favour.

"The market builds its margin into every rate. We built a system that works differently — optimising every cost component so the saving goes to you, not the chain."
⏱
You pay for actual time, not estimated time
Voyage charter rates include a buffer for every possible delay. TCT charges only for the days the vessel is actually used — if the voyage goes faster, you pay less.
🚢
Optimal vessel for your exact cargo
We calculate the ideal parcel size for your cargo type and stowage factor, matching it to a vessel that fits every port restriction on the route — no wasted capacity, no oversized hire.
⛽
Fuel, canals and eco-zones optimised
We calculate the exact fuel grades and quantities needed, account for SECA zones, canal dues and port costs. Every dollar of operational cost is calculated, not estimated.
🤝
Fully aligned with your interests
As your TCT operator, we act as the counterparty to the shipowner. Our fee structure means we have every incentive to reduce the total cost of your voyage — not to maximise it.

Knowledge Base

Frequently asked
questions

In voyage charter you pay a fixed rate per MT and the shipowner covers all costs — including a buffer for every risk. In time charter you hire the vessel for a period and pay daily hire — AGRIX manages all operational costs. The total is typically $1–5/MT lower because you pay only for actual days used and we optimise every cost component.
For standard routes (Black Sea to Africa, Middle East, India) we provide preliminary indicative rates within 2 hours. For custom routes or specific vessel requirements, a full calculation with vessel options and port cost breakdown is delivered within 24 hours.
We specialise in all major bulk grains: wheat (milling and feed), barley, corn/maize, sunflower meal, rapeseed meal and soybeans. We calculate optimal solutions for any grain type and stowage factor.
We work across all Handysize, Handymax, Supramax and Ultramax bulk carriers — 25,000 to 65,000+ DWT. We select the optimal size for your cargo volume, port draft restrictions and terminal capabilities. Vessel size optimisation is one of our key cost-saving tools.
You pay only AGRIX — one counterparty, one invoice. We distribute payments to the shipowner, port agents, fuel suppliers, canal authorities and all other parties. At completion you receive a full financial statement showing every expense item.
For a preliminary rate: cargo type and quantity (MT), loading port, destination port, and approximate laycan. For a firm quote we also need loading/discharging norms, any vessel restrictions at your terminal (max LOA, beam, draft) and preferred payment terms.
