Products volume

In addition to booked spot volumes, Spotbarge's advanced analytics dashboard offers valuable insights into the market's dynamics by displaying the various product types booked on a given day. This transparency enables you to:

Analyze Freight Rate Differentials: Understand why certain pre-loaded barges may command higher freight rates than others. By identifying the products on board, you can better assess the demand and supply dynamics driving rate variations.

Volume in tons per region

In addition to our comprehensive volumes split by products feature, we provide a dedicated Spot Tons graph that offers a clear and concise overview of booked total spot tons per region.

Barge loadings

Spotbarge's barge loadings feature offers a real-time snapshot of the number of barges nominated for loading on a given day. This valuable metric helps you:

Assess market demand: Understand why freight rates may be higher on certain days, as increased barge nominations can indicate stronger demand and tighter supply.
Evaluate spot market activity: Gain insights into the overall busyness of the spot market by monitoring daily barge loading nominations. A higher number of nominations suggests a more active market.

Deal sizes

The deal size analytics presents the most frequently traded clip sizes for a specified period, be it daily, weekly, monthly, or even over a six-month span. This metric offers valuable insights into market trends by revealing whether smaller parcels or larger barges are currently in higher demand. By tracking these trends, one can better understand and anticipate price fluctuations, as increased demand for a particular deal size can drive up prices, while a surplus can lead to decreases.
