The Challenge
Quantifying Charter Party Risk
Pre-fixture analysis typically focuses on rates and scheduling, but experienced chartering professionals know there's another critical question: "How much could this contract actually cost me?"
A charter party might look acceptable at first glance, but unbalanced clauses, ambiguous language, or charterer exclusive rights can create significant financial exposure that only becomes apparent when problems arise.
The challenge is that manually calculating the potential financial impact of contract risks is complex and time-intensive. Traditional checklists help identify issues, but they can't quantify what those risks might actually cost you.
The Solution
Financial Risk Assessment
Marcura’s risk indicator AI agent provides comprehensive financial impact assessment for any individual charter party.
The AI analyses contract terms and calculates specific dollar amounts for potential exposure, giving you the quantified information needed for informed decision-making and turning identified risks into negotiation opportunities.
The tool identifies and quantifies:
Missing critical clauses with calculated exposure amounts
Charterer exclusive rights and options (like multiple discharge port selections) and their cost implications
Performance-related ambiguities with potential dispute costs
Liability issues around stevedore damages with financial impact ranges
Overall financial risk assessment with specific dollar amounts for each identified issue
Each finding includes citations showing exactly where the problematic language appears, plus the financial calculation methodology, so you understand both the risk and its potential cost.

The risk analysis tool is one of a rapidly growing suite of AI capabilities now in production and ready for use by customers, either within the Marcura productivity suite or embedded into existing workflows via API integration.
