Fairway ETA is a maritime intelligence platform combining voyage planning tools with industry analysis. This page collects everything a journalist, researcher, or industry partner typically asks about: how to cite our work, what data is available, and how to reach us.

How to cite Fairway ETA

When citing an article or data point from Fairway ETA, please use the following format:

Y-DRØN. “Article Title.” Fairway ETA, Publication Date. https://www.fairwayeta.com/insights/...

For data points sourced from our Maritime Data Hub:

Fairway ETA Maritime Data Hub, accessed [date]. https://www.fairwayeta.com/data

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.

Data sources and usage

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:

  • Ship & Bunker — bunker fuel price reference
  • Baltic Exchange — freight indices (BDI, BCTI, BDTI, and sub-indices)
  • Frankfurter API — exchange rates
  • EIA, IEA, OPEC reports — crude oil benchmarks
  • Maritime trade press — broker reporting and market commentary
  • Public regulatory filings — IMO MEPC, EU ETS, USTR Section 301 documents

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.

For academic researchers

Fairway ETA is increasingly cited in academic and policy research on maritime markets, shipping geopolitics, and energy logistics. We support researchers with:

  • Direct access to source data underlying our published charts (CSV format available on request)
  • Methodology notes on routing, voyage estimation, and chokepoint risk modeling
  • Verification of figures used in published articles
  • Where appropriate, custom data extracts for non-commercial research projects

Please reach out via the press contact below with a brief description of your research and the data you would like to access.
