Chartera

Chartera is an AI-native startup building a maritime voyage execution system for commercial shipping and commodity trading teams. The platform automates and manages critical workflows across the full trade lifecycle — from pre-fixture analysis (cargoes, open tonnage, rates, recaps) through voyage execution (port events, statements of facts, noon reports) to closeout (laytime, off-hire, claims, time bars). Chartera's AI agents help charterers, traders, and operations teams consider more opportunities, run continuous checks on obligations, and keep commercial decisions visible without removing human judgment. The company is backed by Iterative VC (Y Combinator W25 batch), is part of the INSEAD AI Venture Lab (Batch Finalist), and is a Google for Startups and Pier71 Landing Pad participant. Chartera was co-founded in late 2024 and is headquartered in Singapore.
