new features
Integrated intelligence that matches vessels with specific terminals and
refineries for insight on cargoes and competitor activity.
Flow analysis that provides detail on individual cargoes and aggregate
movements between regions, countries and ports.
Vessel & zone surveillance to monitor loadings and discharges in real time,
assess congestion at anchorages and spot route deviations ahead of the curve.

your daily workflow.
Physical Commodity Traders & Analysts
MINT helps you visualize and calculate the marginal
supply-demand balance
Monitor flows between regions, countries and ports.
Select date range and any combination of regions,
countries and/or ports and view all cargo sailings and
arrivals during that period. Quickly compare current
activity against historical periods. Look ahead to future
arrivals to predict import volumes and regional balances.
Identify specific terminals where specific vessels are loading
and discharging. Our integrated view of vessels, terminals
and refineries tells the commercial story of each cargo and
its effect on the aggregate supply-demand balance.
Verify accuracy of fixture and broker data. Identify failed
fixtures and missed laycans in real time, and discover
unreported vessel activity at key ports, terminals and
anchorages. Assess port congestion and traffic patterns
and their effects on regional balances.

Vessel Movement Service
Vessel Movement Service is the premiere commodity data
feed for companies that have their own proprietary front end
and modeling applications. Real-time data on the positions
and movements of more than 90,000 vessels, updated every
15 minutes, is provided from a combined network of global
terrestrial and low orbiting satellite receivers. Improve
supply-demand forecasting with dynamic updates of vessel
status, speed, draft, destination and ETA. Optimize your vessel
vetting process with our vessel characteristics data, ownership
information, fixtures, casualty, port state control, inspections
and defects.
LNG Live
LNG Live Reports on LNG Ship movements and ship positions
world-wide so you can anticipate the trajectory of global gas
flows. LNG Live is the first fully automatic tool that accurately
reports on LNG ship movements everyday as well as using
10,000 historical voyages to predict future patterns. Now you
can trade more profitably, predict future flows more accurately
and set prices more confidently.

MINT helps you exploit opportunities and mitigate risks from

refinery unit turnarounds
Use our LP-modeled refinery yields to forecast supply changes
from unit disruptions.
Compare to nearby refinery yields and waterborne cargoes
to calculate balances and position accordingly.

E&P Crude/Feedstock Marketers

MINT helps you to optimize feed sales programs
Use our database of refinery configurations and capacities
to match your marketed feed grades to the customers best
configured to derive maximum value.
