What is the Fixtures list?
In the Kpler Chartering product, the Fixtures list is a centralized, real-time workflow tool that empowers chartering professionals to track and analyze both market-reported fixtures and private deals. Completing the Kpler Chartering workspace alongside Tonnage list and Cargo list, it delivers a comprehensive view of concluded deals, enabling brokers, owners, and charterers to understand market dynamics, benchmark their own activity, and maintain complete fixture intelligence in one unified platform.
Whether you're analyzing market trends, tracking competitor activity, or managing your own book, the Fixtures list provides the historical context and real-time intelligence needed for smarter decision-making.
Feature description
Comprehensive fixture data coverage
The Fixtures list provides a complete view of fixture activity by combining:
Kpler's market-reported fixtures: Comprehensive coverage of publicly reported deals across all major shipping segments structured from global market sources.
Your private fixtures: Add and manage your own confidential fixtures alongside market data for a complete view of your operations.
This dual-source approach ensures you have both market intelligence and full visibility of your own book in one centralized workspace.
Automatic email parsing integration
For users with Kpler's email parsing service, the Fixtures list automatically populates with fixture details extracted from your inbox. As fixture confirmation emails arrive from brokers, charterers, and counterparties, the system identifies and structures relevant information into key fields:
Vessel Name: The ship involved in the fixture
Fixture Date: When the deal was concluded
Charterer: The entity chartering the vessel
Commercial Operator: The party commercially operating the vessel
Charter Type: Contract structure (voyage charter, time charter, etc.)
Cargo Type/Commodity: What is being transported
Quantity/Volume: Amount of cargo in metric tons or cubic meters
Load/Discharge Ports: Origin and destination locations
Laycan: Loading date window
Freight Rate: The agreed rate for the fixture
Commission: Brokerage or other applicable commissions
Source: Indicates whether the entry originated from email parsing or manual user input
This automation ensure your private fixtures are captured and organized in real time.

Delete: Remove obsolete or duplicate entries
Users maintain full control over their fixture data while benefiting from automated capture of email-based fixtures.
