Origin

We began as a small desk supporting liner agencies that were tired of stitching terminal notices, AIS snapshots, and barge notes into slides every month. The work stayed local: Castle Peak Road, Sham Shui Po District, with a focus on Kwai Tsing clusters and mid-stream patterns that actually touch client lanes.

How we work

Every engagement starts with terminals, cargo types, and the reader of the executive summary. We collect what is publicly reportable and what you authorize, draft charts with dual baselines where they help, and keep language calm enough to forward without apology paragraphs.

Values in practice

  • Scope honesty — we refuse harbour-wide coverage that dilutes your lanes
  • Defensible numbers — private and public sources labeled separately
  • Readable delivery — charts that survive a board pack and a night-shift handover

Hong Kong context

Typhoon signals, Chinese New Year gate patterns, and barge recovery after closures shape our calendars as much as vessel schedules. We write from that rhythm because our clients live inside it.
