Introduction
The Deals Database is a search functionality that allows you to view several types of deals: S&P transaction deals, new builds, older deals, demolitions, and charter deals. You can search for any deals that meet your criteria (i.e., ship type, size, features, management, transaction date).
Navigating to Deals Database
From the the main menu, select Database > Deals.
Adding New Search Conditions
To add a new condition, you can either select from the dropdown list, or search for a condition in the search bar. To select from the dropdown list, select the 👁️ icon to show filters, and choose from the available options.
You can remove these conditions by selecting the X next to each one. To return to the default search, select the Reset button.
Viewing the Results
After performing a search, you’ll see the results in a table and can select from the following views: Newbuild Orders, Demolition Sales, Period Charters, Forward Commitments, Spot Charters, and Failed Sales.
Sort columns
You can sort the columns by largest to smallest, or alphabetically, depending on the context. To sort a column, hover over the column name. The header table cell background will turn grey and an arrow will appear stating the order it will sort by.
Customizable Columns
You can change the columns of data being shown within the results tables using the Columns icon in the upper right.
Selecting the columns icon will trigger a pop-up containing the full range of columns available. You can then select the columns you would like to add. You can have up to a maximum of 11 columns i.e. 10 of your choice, plus vessel name. This is indicated on the bottom left with a count and will highlight red when the limit has been reached.
Vessel name is a mandatory column which you can’t remove since it’s a key column for navigating our website and our data.
You must press save changes to close the pop-up, save your columns, and have them loaded in on the results table.
Exporting Results
You can export your results as an Excel spreadsheet by selecting Actions > Export.
The number of exports a user can do is determined by their permissions. The default is 10 per day.
Adding Vessels to Portfolio
To add vessels to a portfolio, select the checkbox next to the vessel(s), select the With selected (X items) button and choose Add to portfolio from the dropdown list.
Existing portfolio
A pop-up will appear containing a list of your portfolios. Add the vessel(s) to an existing portfolio by selecting the radio button next to the portfolio name.
New portfolio
Or, you can select the Create new portfolio radio button, type a name, and select Add to create a new portfolio to add the vessel(s) to.
Comparing Vessels
Another option is to compare vessels from your search results. To do this, select the vessels you would like to compare using the checkboxes in the first column. When a vessel is selected, its row will turn blue.
Once you have chosen the vessels to compare, select the Compare button. A new page will open containing a table of vessel particulars for the vessels you’ve chosen.
