Projects
Clients may draw on our skills to solve complex quantitative problems accross marine, fuel and commodity markets. Contact us to find out how we can help you, or browse our examples below:
Charter Pricing
Every charter is unique, from vessel specifications to exact open dates and positions. Adding optional years and even purchase options (which may be overlapping) makes valuation highly complex. Whether chartering in or out, we can help you compare your options.
Dynamic Voyage Calculations
There's no need to constantly update your calcs or find the optimum voyage speed through trial and error. We can adapt your calcs to provide solutions accross a range of freight rates, timecharter rates and fuel prices whilst optimising speed and consumption.
Benchmarking
Whether considering trading departments, desks or individuals, we can help you choose a benchmark and analyse track records against it.
Comparing Opportunities
By calibrating pricing models to underlying markets, the relative value of opportunities for acquiring or disposing of assets can be illustrated from many angles.
Market Modelling
Leveraging Seventh Wave's robust market simulations (including full Monte Carlo simulations) possible future economic environments can be explored.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and adding trading desks to your current operations.
Trading portfolios are analysed historically and prospectively, separately and together, to help reveal synergies and risk concentrations.
One-off Portfolio Reviews
Market, credit and liquidity risk analyses with all the rigour and insight of our virtual QRM desk.
Backtesting Trading Models
