FAQ

You have questions? 
We have answers.

What is voyage management software (VMS)?

Voyage management software helps shipping companies plan, track, and manage vessel voyages from fixture to settlement. It centralises voyage data so operations, commercial, and finance teams can coordinate scheduling, monitor performance, and process invoices. Modern VMS platforms like Sedna connect to your core systems, ensuring all teams work from real-time information.

How does Sedna Trade differ from traditional shipping software?

Unlike legacy systems with data lock-ins, Sedna Trade is API-first and open by design. It connects chartering, operations, and finance in one platform that updates in real-time and works on mobile. Teams collaborate across the commercial lifecycle without switching between disconnected tools or waiting for batch updates.

Can Sedna Trade integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. Sedna Trade is built with an open API to connect with your core systems: accounting software, chartering platforms, and operational tools. Your teams work in Sedna whilst maintaining data flow across your existing technology stack.

What is prefixture software and why do chartering teams need it?

Prefixture software provides market intelligence, voyage estimates, and vessel data before negotiations begin. Sedna Prefixture consolidates owner information, compliance details, and commercial analysis in one place, helping teams evaluate opportunities faster and fix with confidence.

How does Sedna Trade improve collaboration between operations and finance?

Sedna Trade creates a single source of truth shared across teams. When voyage details update, everyone sees changes immediately. No more data re-entry, version conflicts, or settlement delays. The result is smoother handoffs and faster payment cycles.

Is Sedna Trade suitable for ship managers and shipowners?

Yes. Sedna Trade works for any organisation managing commercial shipping operations: shipowners, ship managers, operators, or charterers. The platform scales to your fleet size and adapts to your workflows, whether you're managing a handful of vessels or hundreds.
