Maritime Services Marketplace
You pay for port calls you don't control. PortzApp changes that. Transparent quotes, verified providers, and full cost visibility from the moment the vessel is fixed.
The fixture is tight. The port call makes it tighter.
The margin you negotiated on the fixture erodes at every port.
The DA lands and the numbers don't add up
You approved a PDA estimate. The FDA arrives weeks later, 10 to 15 percent higher, with line items you never agreed to and charges you can't verify. Disputing them means going back and forth with the owner and the agent, both pointing at each other. By the time it's resolved, the cost is already absorbed.
You have no visibility into who's providing the service
The agent appoints the providers. You don't see who was selected, what they quoted, or whether a cheaper option existed. You're paying for services chosen by someone else, based on relationships you have no access to. The invoice is the first time you see the real cost.
Delays you can't trace cost you demurrage
A service runs late, the vessel misses its berth window, laytime ticks over, and suddenly you're exposed to demurrage. But you can't trace where the delay started. Was it the agent? The provider? The port authority? When coordination happens across email and phone, there's no timeline to audit and no accountability to assign.
The fixing cycle moves faster than your port call coordination
You fix a vessel and need port services confirmed quickly. But sourcing quotes, appointing providers, and confirming arrangements still runs through email chains and phone calls. Every hour of back and forth is a window where cargo commitments slip, costs shift, or a better fixture passes you by.
Key Features
Full cost visibility from fixture to settlement.
Transparent quotes from verified providers
See who's providing the service, what they quoted, and how it compares. No more waiting for the FDA to find out what a port call actually cost.
PDA vs FDA cost tracking
Every port call shows the approved estimate against the actual cost in real time. Discrepancies are visible as they happen, not weeks after the vessel sails.
Direct visibility into provider selection
See which providers the agent appointed, what alternatives existed, and what each one quoted. The information gap between you and the port call closes.
Structured DA documentation
Every charge is linked to a quote, an order, and a supporting document. When a line item is disputed, the audit trail is already there. No reconstructing the story from email threads.
Faster port call coordination
Service requests go out to multiple verified providers simultaneously. Quotes come back on platform. Confirmations are structured, not buried in email. The time between fixing and confirmed port arrangements shrinks.
Real time order tracking across voyages
Every active port call across every chartered vessel has a live status. What's been ordered, what's confirmed, what's complete. You don't wait for the agent's update. You see it.
