The Solution

One Workflow. One Agent. One Source of Truth.

With DA-Desk, you simplify your husbandry operations across all departments:

Shared workflows for crewing, technical, procurement, and the master

Prevents duplicate appointments and overlapping costs

Real-time spend visibility across vessels and departments

Built-in governance, audit trail, and accounting integration

Trusted by global shipowners to streamline crew change, repairs, and more

Not only can we easily track the status of DAs, but the whole team has access to the same information, which makes it much easier to manage and resolve queries. It’s also given us a simple, effective way to control costs—something that would have been nearly impossible before.

Optimize Crew Change Costs

Choose Smarter Ports. Save Thousands. Repeat.

Crew change costs vary wildly by port. One manager estimated $20–30M in annual savings across a 200-vessel fleet simply by optimizing where and when crew changes happen.

With DA-Desk, you can:

Compare port-level costs for flights, launches, and visas

Avoid high-cost locations like U.S. or Australia when not needed

Align crewing with procurement and tech ops to minimize launches

Ensure full visibility and traceability of every changeover decision

What Are You Losing to Poor Coordination?

Our DA-Desk ROI Calculator reveals your hidden savings based on real-world scenarios and your fleet profile.

Input your number of port calls, typical agents used, launch costs, etc.

Overpaying on every port call

Most shipping companies overpay $180–250 per DA due to inflated estimates, unchecked final accounts, and lack of audit trails.

FX risk is eating your margin

50%+ of DA payments involve foreign currency. Without proper coverage, small fluctuations lead to big surprises.

The silent drag on working capital

Duplicate charges, slow reconciliations, and manual approvals slow down cashflow and burn man-hours.

Built for Global Port Calls. Trusted by Leading Owners.

Across the world, husbandry operations are still managed with fragmented emails, paper-based approvals, and disconnected agents. DA-Desk changes that by bringing control, coordination, and cost visibility into a single platform.
