The cost of calling at a port needs to be as accurate as possible for the chartering team to calculate voyage expenses.
How much costs can change depends on different variables which, if carefully assessed, support the risk analysis in taking cargo or not.
Sanctions in the maritime industry are being imposed faster than ever before, and the high-pressured regulatory landscape means not only has your liability changed, but the anti-bribery and anti-money laundering compliance landscape is becoming increasingly complex.
Operations Directors should ensure that continuous monitoring programs are in place to keep up to date on the latest sanctions and other regulations.
The maritime industry faces some tough anti-financial crime compliance challenges, including the need to keep up-to-date with potentially thousands of agents around the world, having multiple voyage-associated parties across various jurisdictions and facing the opaque ownership of ships and assets.
We’ve set out some generally accepted guidelines which can assist with managing compliance.
DA-Desk is celebrating 20 years since Seatrade created the first port call on 31 May 2002!
As Walter Wildöer, MD of Seatrade Chartering, explained to us: “Before we started using DA-Desk, our system was piles of paper with yellow sticky notes. Now we have reduced our paperwork by about 95%.”

DA-Desk celebrates 2 million port calls on 16 June 2022!
Congratulations to MOL Drybulk Ltd. for creating the 2 millionth port call.
A BIG thank you to all of our customers who helped us achieve this milestone.
Shipping companies are increasingly facing regulatory pressures relating to anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and sanction compliance.
We surveyed Operations Directors from across the maritime industry and found that most ranked anti-financial crime (AFC) compliance as a top concern.

This advisory is intended to provide our customers with a brief roundup update on developments we have seen in the insurance rules and policy coverages of P&I clubs in response to the heightened environment surrounding sanctions.
20 years ago we created our first port call in DA-Desk. Today, we are almost at 2 MILLION port calls!
While rummaging through our archives back to 2002, we found some great pictures of our original team working hard and having fun (a lot of them are still with the Marcura family)… and we even had an office dog named Tim!
Thanks to all our customers and teams over the years for being part of the journey.
