For journalists, researchers, and industry partners
Fairway ETA is a maritime intelligence platform combining voyage planning tools with industry analysis under the Y-DRØN byline. This page collects everything a journalist, researcher, or industry partner typically asks about: how to cite our work, who writes it, what data is available, and how to reach us.
Industry analysis articles on Fairway ETA are published under the Y-DRØN byline. This represents the editorial voice of the platform's analysis desk — written from a marine engineering and bunkering operations background, with sources cross-verified across the Baltic Exchange, broker reporting, public regulatory filings (IMO, EU, USTR), and primary trade press.
The Y-DRØN voice covers industry analysis, market structure, and geopolitics. A separate “Junior Desk” voice handles explainers and reference pieces written for newer readers entering the maritime industry.
For verification of facts, source materials, or methodology used in a specific article, please reach us at the press contact below. We respond within 1–2 business days and are happy to provide additional context for journalists working on related stories.

For data points sourced from our Maritime Data Hub:
Short data points and statistics (e.g., one or two bunker prices, a freight index value, an exchange rate) may be cited without prior permission as long as the source attribution is clear. For extensive use of our data — bulk export, integration into a published dataset, or commercial redistribution — please contact us first.
Our Maritime Data Hub aggregates publicly available maritime market data from established industry sources. The data is processed and presented in original visualizations, but the underlying values originate from public industry references.
Underlying sources include:
Free use. Individual data points and small data snapshots are free to use with attribution. This includes citing a daily bunker price, a freight index value, or an exchange rate in a news article, blog post, social media, or academic paper.
Bulk export and redistribution. For systematic data extraction, integration into a database, or commercial redistribution, please contact us first. We are open to formal data partnerships and structured access agreements where appropriate.
Fairway ETA is increasingly cited in academic and policy research on maritime markets, shipping geopolitics, and energy logistics. We support researchers with:
