Boring for Some, Not for Us: Smarter, Smoother Disbursement Accounting with DA-Desk

Overview

In our first webinar of 2026 we took 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 gave an overview of some of the common issues seen with disbursement accounting as well as a platform overview of how DA-Desk works and the benefits our customers see.
