OWNERS WANT TO BE ON TOP
OF DEMURRAGE CLAIMS
It’s not unusual that the short time bars and detailed lists of documentation lead to failed claims, simply because documents are not compiled exactly as per specifications.
Collecting, structuring and providing a secure environment for the transfer and storage of confidential documents is the core of our Laytime-Desk service.
COLLECTING THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS
IS A BASIC, YET ESSENTIAL TASK
Laytime and demurrage continues to be a constant source of disagreement. Misinterpretation of charter-party clauses and the Laytime calculation itself can be a costly affair. It’s all in the details of the – usually – unstructured documents.
If you’re facing these situations, the team at Laytime-Desk can help you
- Do you have an upcoming resignation or retirement in your team?
- Are you struggling to find the right experts to fill your vacancy?
- Are you concerned about your laytime claim accuracy?
- Do you have a creeping backlog of laytime claims to process?
- Do you need help for just a short period?
Short or long-term need, a little help or full outsourcing: Laytime-Desk can help in every situation you’re in – and we’re ready to help you now!
