Indonesia → Philippines coal freight planning
Short-haul Southeast Asian coal voyages can look simple on a map but remain highly sensitive to loading location, transshipment or direct-loading setup, Philippine discharge port, draft, port productivity and vessel position.
Start with the requirement, not a guessed market rate.
Enter the actual loading port, Philippine discharge port, parcel size, laycan and vessel class in the estimator. CharterPulse then models the voyage cost and shows which assumptions are driving the range.

Which vessel class should you test?
For mid-sized parcels, compare Supramax and Ultramax first. Smaller parcels may point toward Handysize; larger stems may justify Panamax or Kamsarmax if both load and discharge restrictions permit. The planning model lets you switch classes without re-entering the voyage.
Questions to answer before a market check
Confirm cargo quantity and tolerance, exact load/discharge terms, expected loading and discharge rates, laycan, draft restrictions, gear/grab requirements, demurrage basis and whether the requirement is planning, firm or prompt.
