Bench Energy
FreightTender — pre-fixture dry-bulk procurement + weekly coal/energy news
@pavelProblem
Commodity traders lose margin in brokered dry-bulk RFQs — slow email tendering, rate leakage, weak audit trail, demurrage exposure. Links: • https://www.bench.energy • https://www.bench.energy/freighttender • https://t.me/Bench_energy • https://github.com/marfa77/bench-energy-news
Solution
FreightTender marketing site (closed tenders, offer comparison, audit-ready awards) + Bench Energy News weekly digest (Gemini → MySQL CMS → Next.js /news → Telegram @Bench_energy).
