layout: section bg: /api/files/10/c90c07b71076d209b2a394e282c97ac08105465612d5555df1413dca0efa2015.png index: "01" kicker: Part one title: How our cargo moves subtitle: From our supply point to the customer's port.

• Poured into the ship's holds by conveyor, chute or grab
• Measured by draft survey — by weight, not piece count
• One cargo can fill a whole vessel
• Quality checked by independent labs, before and after shipment

layout: steps kicker: The journey title: From load port to discharge steps:

• { title: Book the ship, desc: "Operations fixes a suitable vessel", icon: "lucide:ship" }
• { title: Load, desc: "cargo goes aboard at the supply port", icon: "lucide:package-plus" }

layout: panels kicker: Our role title: What the chartering desk does panels:

• { icon: "lucide:ship", title: Find & fix the ship, body: "Source tonnage and agree the freight rate." }
• { icon: "lucide:file-text", title: Set the terms, body: "Ports, dates, and who pays for what." }
• { icon: "lucide:timer", title: Manage the clock, body: "Track laytime at load & discharge ports." }
• { icon: "lucide:circle-check", title: Close it out, body: "Documents, then any demurrage or dispatch." }

layout: define kicker: Who's who term: On CFR / CIF sales, we hire the ship definition: When Baymineral arranges the freight, we are the charterer — so the clock at the port, and any delay cost, is ours. On FOB sales, the buyer charters instead. points:

• "Owner — provides the vessel."
• "Charterer — hires it (that's us, on CFR/CIF)."
• "Broker — finds the match; we work through a broker panel."

layout: define kicker: The core idea term: What is laytime? definition: The time the ship allows us to load or discharge the cargo — already paid for inside the freight. points:

• "Use more time than allowed → we pay (demurrage)."
• "Finish early → we may be paid (dispatch)."
• "So how the hours at the port are counted really matters."

layout: reference kicker: How time is counted title: The terms on the clock groups:

• { title: "Which days count", items: [{ term: "SHINC", desc: "Sundays & Holidays Included — they all count" }, { term: "SHEX", desc: "Sundays & Holidays Excepted — they don't" }, { term: "FHEX", desc: "Fridays & Holidays Excepted — for Friday-weekend ports" }] }
• { title: "Why it's in our contracts", items: [{ term: "Set per port", desc: "the charter fixes which rule applies" }, { term: "WWD", desc: "weather working days — bad weather can stop the clock" }, { term: "Real money", desc: "more counted time = more demurrage risk" }] }

layout: default kicker: A quick example title: How a delay becomes a cost

Flip it: finish in 3 days instead → that's a day saved, and dispatch (usually half the rate) comes back to us.

layout: vs kicker: The two outcomes title: Demurrage vs dispatch left: { title: "Demurrage", items: ["We run OVER the allowed time", "We (charterer) pay the owner", "A fixed rate per day", "A cost to avoid"] } right: { title: "Dispatch", items: ["We finish EARLY, time saved", "The owner pays us", "Usually HALF the demurrage rate", "A saving to earn"] } label: "vs"

layout: panels kicker: Why it reaches you title: Where your work meets the clock panels:

• { icon: "lucide:package", title: Cargo readiness, body: "Cargo & quality docs ready when the ship arrives keeps laytime moving." }
• { icon: "lucide:file-check", title: Paperwork on time, body: "B/L, certificates and instructions in time avoid idle, billable hours." }
• { icon: "lucide:banknote", title: Prompt approvals, body: "Fast sign-offs keep the vessel working, not waiting at our cost." }

layout: statement kicker: The takeaway title: Same clock, shared result — less demurrage, more dispatch.
