Bluefin Analytics

Quantitative research for commodity and freight markets.

We build and maintain pricing models for clients who trade physical cargo. Our work is unglamorous: cleaning vessel tracking feeds, reconciling port call data, and making sure a number that shows up in a risk report can be traced back to its source.

Bluefin was founded in 2019. We are a team of nine, split between research and data engineering. We do not manage outside capital.

Research: Freight rate forecasting, congestion indices, seasonal basis models.
Data engineering: AIS ingestion, entity resolution across vessel registries, historical replay.
