The freight-rate sentence is the one to remove
A freight rate on the homepage is the sentence a commercial vessel site gets wrong. Sale and charter are different conversations, and neither is a rate this studio quotes. The page asks deadweight and class as facts the firm already uses, then points a charter question to chartering@ and a sale question to sale@. Motus does not fix a charter. The firm does that work, if it does it at all.
Sale mail and charter mail stay apart
vessels@ is the front door. sale@ is for a purchase or a sale the firm already handles. chartering@ is for a charter conversation. A homepage that offers one email for all three teaches the visitor to send a freight rate request to the wrong person. The commercial vessel page names the three addresses and the job of each.
A charter lead that lands in sale@ wastes a morning. A sale lead that lands in chartering@ does the same. The form asks which of the two the visitor wants before it asks for a name. Motus does not fix a charter, does not sign a fixture, and does not sit between the parties on the commercial terms.
Deadweight and class as supplied facts
Deadweight is a figure from the firm's papers, not a number we estimate from a photo of the hull. Class is the notation the firm wrote down. If either fact is missing, the card says it is missing. We do not infer class from a society logo in a corner of a picture, and we do not round deadweight to make a comparison look tidy.
Year of build, flag, and where the ship currently lies are optional lines the firm may add. They are not required to make the page honest. A commercial vessel card can be short. Short is better than a freight rate typed in to fill the silence. The rate, if the firm quotes one at all, leaves from chartering@ as a reply, not as a banner.
No fixture and no freight number here
The wrong sentence is a freight rate presented as if this studio calculated it. We did not. A visitor looking for a number should be told which inbox answers charter questions and which inbox answers sale questions. The page can describe the vessel types the firm already works. It cannot publish a market level.
Motus does not conclude a charter fixture, does not issue a recap, and does not tell an owner what the ship should earn. Those acts belong to the firm, under whatever authority it already has. The website's work stops at a clear door: deadweight, class, and the right address. Anything past that door is a human reply.
Growth fits a commercial vessel desk that must keep sale@ apart from chartering@, because a fixture is the firm's work and not a studio rate.
Motus does not sell a vessel, an aircraft, or a machine, and does not certify that one is airworthy or seaworthy.

Questions
- Why is a freight rate the wrong commercial vessel sentence?
- Because a freight rate is not something this studio calculates. Sale questions go to sale@ and charter questions go to chartering@. Deadweight and class can be shown as the firm supplied them. Motus does not fix a charter.
- Which inbox should receive a commercial vessel charter question?
- chartering@ receives it. sale@ is for a purchase or a sale. vessels@ is only the front door. A charter fixture is the firm's work. Motus does not sign one or publish a rate the firm did not approve.
- What happens when deadweight or class is missing?
- The card says the fact is missing. We do not estimate deadweight from a photo or infer class from a logo. Optional lines such as year of build can wait. A short card is acceptable.
- Does Motus issue a fixture for a ship on this page?
- No. Motus does not conclude a charter fixture or tell an owner what a ship should earn. The page names deadweight, class, and the inbox. The commercial conversation after that belongs to the firm.
