How to list a cargo or a vessel from text

Category: OfferUpdated October 23, 2026

The unified listing window lets you publish a cargo or a vessel from one text: paste a description from an email or a messenger on the "New offer" page, review the ready card in the preview and publish. No six-step form to fill.

What is recognized from the text

  • Deal type — part cargo, shipload, consecutive voyages, an open vessel or a vessel-wanted request (cargo seeking tonnage).
  • Route — loading and discharge ports; ports found in the rynda directory are matched right away.
  • Cargo — type (bulk, containers, general, liquid, vehicles, project) and weight.
  • Vessel — name and IMO; particulars (DWT, dimensions, year) are pulled from the ship registry. The IMO number is required for shipowners and operators; a broker can post a vessel by name without it.
  • Dates and rate — loading or open date, currency and price when the text mentions them.
  • Title and description — in both platform languages at once. The title is the gist of the offer without the route or dates: ports and dates get their own lines on the card. If you fill in the step-by-step form by hand and the other language is empty, the platform adds it as the listing goes live: visitors always see a card fully in one language. The version in the other language is a machine translation: on the English site the listing page shows "Machine translation" under the title. In the step-by-step form the title and description appear on the Preview step; if AI is unavailable at that moment, they are composed from the listing fields: vessel type, deadweight, year built, open place and date. You can change the text with the Edit button.

How to publish an offer

  1. Open the "New offer" page and paste your text into the "Offer text" field — a whole email works, the noise is dropped. Not sure what to write — see the examples under the field.
  2. Press "Build the card".
  3. Review the preview: the card is shown exactly as the market will see it on the board. The deal type switches right under the card.
  4. Go through the publication checklist: green rows were recognized from the text, yellow rows are filled in place (a port from the directory, date, weight). Set the rate as a number or tick "Rate on request". The title and the cargo type and subtype (coal, grain, ore and more) are edited right there.
  5. Optionally attach photos and documents and set a delivery date — none of it blocks publishing. Press "Publish" — the offer goes to moderation and appears on the board after review; the files are uploaded together with the publication, and more can be added later.

What if a port is not recognized

Nothing is invented: when a port is missing from the directory or the name is ambiguous, the checklist row stays yellow — start typing the name and pick the port from the suggestions.

Do I need an account

Parsing and the preview work without registration. Publishing requires a free account: the draft is saved, and after signing in you return to the same card.

Tip

The more specific the text, the less to fill in: state the weight, dates and rate right away — the card arrives almost ready. For brokers the "From a broker" tag is applied automatically from the account.
