Cargo list is part of the Kpler Tanker and Kpler Chartering products.
Open the Cargo list
Go to Chartering > Cargo list. The default list is All cargoes.
Orders come from two sources. Email orders are read from your forwarded broker emails by the parser. User orders are the ones you add with Add cargo order. The Source column shows which.
The list opens filtered cargoes received in the last 30 days (Received: 30 days ago). Widen or remove that filter to see older orders.

Cargo order is a short label, for example "50 kt USGC/ARA, 2-6 Nov", which means 50 thousand tonnes (kt) from the US Gulf Coast (USGC) to Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA), with a laycan of 2 to 6 November. It shows /TBD (to be determined) when the discharge is not known.
Products is the commodity, matched to Kpler's product list.
Received at is when the email arrived. The list is sorted newest first. Created at is filled for orders you added yourself.
Quantity is in metric tonnes, as a single figure or a range.
Laycan (UTC) (Coordinated Universal Time) is the window when the vessel is expected at the load port.
Load ports and Discharge ports show the origin and destination.
Charterer is the party offering or controlling the cargo.
Contract type is VC (voyage charter) or TCT (time charter trip).
Rate ($/Ton), Lumpsum and TCE show freight terms where they are stated. Lumpsum is a single fixed freight amount for the voyage. TCE is the time charter equivalent, the earnings per day from the voyage.
Commercial status is Available (open for negotiation or fixing), On Subs (under negotiation, subject to final terms), Fully Fixed (concluded), Failed (the deal fell through) or Cancelled (withdrawn).
Comment holds free text such as special instructions or options. Sender shows who sent the email.
Find cargoes

Click Add filter for more control. Basics has Products, Discharge, Load, Laycan, Received, Edited and Source. Commercial has Charterer, Contract type, Commercial status, Quantity, TCE, Rate and Lumpsum.

To keep a set of filters, click Save as new cargo list and name it. It appears under Cargo lists in the sidebar. On a list you already saved, click Save list to update it, and use the menu next to its name to rename or delete it.
Match vessels to a cargo
Click a row and a panel opens on the right.
The summary shows the contract type, quantity, product, laycan, charterer and route.
Vessel shortlist is where you keep the vessels you are considering for this cargo, with their age, commercial operator and commercial status.
Related tonnage lists vessels that could suit the cargo, based on its details, open positions and how close each vessel is. Switch between All and Available. Available shows only vessels with an available commercial status and an open date on or before the laycan end.
Use the menu in the panel to Save as Tonnage List, so you can keep following those vessels. Related tonnage is not generated when the laycan is in the past.
The cargo detail panel: 1 Order summary · 2 Add vessels to the shortlist · 3 Related tonnage: All or Available · 4 Source email
Check the source email and duplicates
For orders that came from email, the panel under the table (marked Beta) shows the original email, with the load, discharge and charterer terms highlighted.
The same cargo is often reported more than once. Kpler merges the reports into one order and shows a small number badge on it. Open the badge to see every report with its received time, sender, quantity, laycan, areas, charterer and comment. One is marked Displayed and the rest Duplicate. Click a row to read its email.
Add or edit a cargo order
Click Add cargo order.
Paste the details of one order into the autofill box, or fill in the form yourself.

Click Save.

FAQs
1.Why does a cargo show a number badge?
The same cargo is often reported more than once. Kpler merges the reports into one order, and the badge shows how many reports it holds. One report is marked Displayed and the rest are marked Duplicate.
2.Why is there no related tonnage for a cargo?
Related tonnage is not generated when the laycan is in the past.
3.Why can I not find an older cargo?
The list opens filtered to cargoes received in the last 30 days. Widen or remove the Received filter to see older orders.
