The Problem: one port call. Three departments. Three agents.
In most organizations, husbandry port calls are still managed through siloed teams, scattered communication, and manual approvals. Crewing, technical, and procurement departments each work independently, often appointing their own agents and triggering overlapping services.
The result?
Duplicate agency fees
Multiple launch Hires for the same call
Missed windows for cost-effective crew changes
Paper-based approvals and email chains
Poor cost visibility, auditability, and compliance tracking
In today’s market, that’s not just inefficient - it’s expensive.
The hidden cost of doing nothing
Husbandry doesn’t generate revenue. But when handled poorly, it quietly erodes your margins.
An uncoordinated port call can lead to:
$1,000 - $3,000 per launch
Last minute crew flight surcharges
Extra port days
Redundant agent commissions
No baseline to validate charges
One fleet manager saved $20-30 million annually by simply planning crew changes more strategically and consolidating services.
