Overview
For our first webinar of 2026 we’re taking a deep dive into disbursement accounting with Marcura resident expert Mark Franklin.
From duplicate invoices and the wrong vessel being invoiced to navigating the complexity of ESI rebates and global discount structures, Mark has seen it all. And with that experience comes deep insight into how DA-Desk helps customers stay in control, ensuring they track every detail and only pay exactly what they should for each port call.
Mark will give an overview of some of the common issues we see with disbursement accounting as well as a platform overview of how DA-Desk works and the benefits our customers see.

Business Development, Marcura
Mark is our resident DA-Desk expert here at Marcura. When it comes to Disbursement Accounting, there’s nothing he hasn’t encountered. He’s seen every type of invoice, heard every customer tale, and survived more than a few “port cost gone wrong” horror stories. Mark also has a shipping related MBA as well as over 30 years’ experience globally working in the shipping industry in various roles, but he’s been with us at DA-desk for 18 years.

We needed a partner that could understand our requirements and operations. Having worked with Marcura before on DA processing, it was clear they were the right fit.

In my personal view, using DA-Desk for over 10 years, I've seen how it evolved from handling agent queries to developing analytics that uncover new insights. The amount of data available from port calls and what you can do with it is amazing. —
