The learning loop

Every voyage makes the next one sharper.

Every port call, every disbursement and every settled claim feeds one connected picture. Your team keeps the judgement; the platform makes sure the next call is better informed than the last.

Navigr8 Bulk runs a new dry-bulk operation on the DA benchmarks, supplier agreements and port knowledge of an established operator, from day one. Learn more

Port terminal with laytime and NOR tendering risk cards

Compliance, built in

Every agent screened. Every payment checked.

Sanctions screening and a full audit trail run inside the voyage workflow, not a separate step. Every agent is cleared before you appoint them, and if a sanction lands mid-call, the payment stops before any funds move.

Pacific Basin scales its sanctions screening without adding to the team, running every check and its audit trail inside the platform. Learn more

Port terminal with counterparty and payment screening checks

Settlements, in the flow

Keep the margin FX and fees quietly take.

Every port payment settles in local currency inside the same workflow that runs the voyage, with no separate payment step. Marcura’s payment scale secures FX and fee rates a single operator cannot.

Marcura settles $13bn in port payments a year, holding FX and fee rates a single operator can’t reach.

Voyage operations success stories

“We screen DAs systematically, make informed decisions in unfamiliar ports before we fix. A two-person team runs a growing fleet with the confidence and discipline of a much larger organisation.”

Vinay RaiOperations Manager, Navigr8 Bulk

“CP Optimiser gives us the opportunity to turn experience into scalable AI-driven infrastructure that lets juniors apply the knowledge of a senior from day one.”

Thomas StjernholmManaging Director, Tomini Chartering

“Marcura Claims helped us move from manual processing to a streamlined, insight-driven model. It has directly improved our decision-making and operational efficiency.”

Kristian HeltDirector of Chartering, Pacific Basin

“Before Marcura, our team was managing port costs, invoices, and voyage data across separate systems. Now everything runs through a single connected workflow. When we expanded our commercial scope to cover more Belships vessels, the platform handled it without missing a beat.”

Bjornar HessenGM Operations, Norwegian Bulk Carriers

“The compliance element is a major benefit to us. Ardmore relies on DA-Desk’s scalability to conduct the required checks and action related notifications.”

Robert GainaDirector Commercial Ops, Ardmore

One platform, three solutions. The same platform that runs the voyage runs the vessel and the crew.

Vessel

Marcura Voyage brings four specialist solutions together across pre-fixture, post-fixture and settlement: PortLog — port intelligence: likely port costs, port performance and wait times, before you fix. Contract Intelligence — charterparty risk: clause-level analysis of the terms that shift cost, liability or responsibility. DA-Desk — port-cost management: disbursement accounts, agent compliance and port payments during the call. Marcura Claims — Demurrage software and laytime claims services: calculation, claim preparation and recovery at settlement. Use one on its own, or run them together so each stage informs the next.

Yes. Marcura Voyage is a modular solution set, not a mandatory software bundle. Many of our customers start with one product — pre-fixture intelligence, port cost control, demurrage management — and run them on their own. When you use them together, information carries between the stages of the voyage, so what was expected, what happened and what was finally paid or recovered stay connected, and each team works with more context.

A VMS is your system of record: it plans and tracks the voyage. Marcura Voyage protects the money moving through it. It prices the call on real network data, checks every disbursement, screens each counterparty, settles port payments, and recovers demurrage. It connects to your VMS and keeps both in sync, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is ripped out. You keep the system your desk runs on, and add the network and the checks behind it.

Before a fixture, chartering teams use Marcura Voyage to see the likely time and cost of a port call and to catch the missing or ambiguous clauses in a charterparty they need to be consider before fixing. PortLog draws on historical costs, port-call data and comparable voyages; Contract Intelligence reads the CP and flags the clauses that could shift cost, liability or operational responsibility before terms are agreed. Learn about charterparty risk analysis.

Marcura Voyage runs sanctions screening, fraud checks and a full audit trail inside DA-Desk, at the point of the port call rather than as a separate step. Every agent is business-verified and sanctions-checked before appointment, and their bank details are verified before any payment leaves. Screening covers the agent, bank, beneficiary, vessel, port and terminal against US, EU, UK and UN lists, with 300,000+ maritime counterparties monitored around the clock.

Marcura Voyage turns what happens during and after a call into evidence for the next one. Actual port time sharpens future estimates. Final disbursement accounts show what the call really cost. Settled claims reveal which events and clauses created exposure. By connecting that evidence across chartering, operations and claims, each fixture and port call is better informed than the last.
