Desktop operations app

A broker workstation, not another browser tab

Global Ship Broker Desktop is shaped around the way brokers actually work: circular review, matching, AIS context, messages, voyage tools and protected deal-room handoff stay open in one focused operating window.

Tracking focus

503049

Provider freshness, map clusters and watchlist context remain beside the commercial file.

Circular command queue

Keep Outlook-originated circulars, manual pasted requests and parser review in one persistent desk instead of scattered browser tabs.

Match before you message

Move from cargo/vessel fit, laycan and route checks into a protected negotiation path without losing context.

Tracking beside the deal

AIS coverage, provider freshness and watchlist vessels stay visible while brokers review positions and counterparties.

Communications stay contained

Messages and deal-room handoffs stay separated from general browsing so the app feels like an operations terminal.

Mobile companion

The mobile surface now behaves like a field app

On phones, users should not hunt through a website menu. The mobile interface now brings daily brokerage actions forward: tracking, cargo, tonnage and protected discovery stay reachable from a thumb-friendly dock after consent.

Track vessels

Open AIS clusters without digging through navigation.

Cargo desk

Check new stems and protected cargo requests on the move.

Tonnage desk

Jump straight to vessels, openings and seller mandates.

Messages

Keep negotiation replies close to the active deal context.

Rollout notes

Install with a clear security model

The macOS build is rebuilt with a clean local signature so it should not show the damaged-app error. Because it is not notarized with an Apple Developer ID yet, macOS may still show a first-run unidentified developer warning. Use right-click Open once, or allow it from Privacy & Security. Full notarization can be added when the Apple certificate is ready.

  1. 1Download the build for your operating system.
  2. 2Install or open the package. On macOS, drag the app into Applications.
  3. 3Launch the app and sign in with your normal Global Ship Broker account.
