Is PortzApp a mobile app, a web platform, or both?

PortzApp is primarily a web platform that runs in any modern browser. Native iOS and Android apps are available on the Pro plan for real-time access from anywhere. Standard plan users work in the browser; Pro plan users get browser plus mobile.

Which ports and regions does PortzApp cover?

Every port worldwide. PortzApp does not restrict coverage to specific regions or ports. The marketplace grows as counterparties join, so any port where a KYC verified counterparty is active is a port you can transact in on PortzApp.

What kinds of services can I request on PortzApp?

The full range of port call services, including port agency, chandlery and provisions, technical services, husbandry, surveys, launch and boat services, waste management, bunkering coordination, spares delivery, crew change support, and freight forwarding. If it happens during a port call, it can run through PortzApp.

Is PortzApp an independent platform, or affiliated with a shipping line or port authority?

Independent. PORTZAPP TECHNOLOGIES L.L.C is a maritime technology company with no affiliation to any shipping line, port authority, agent network, or supplier group. The platform is neutral to all parties, which is what makes an open marketplace possible.

What does 'open marketplace' actually mean?

Anyone in maritime can join, list their organization, transact, and grow without a sales conversation, an enterprise contract, or a minimum spend. No party is gated behind procurement cycles. The Standard plan is free forever, and Pro pricing is published publicly.

Do I need to invite my counterparties, or are they already on PortzApp?

Either works. You can bring your existing network onto the platform in one action, and they can start transacting with you on the free Standard plan. When you need a new counterparty, the KYC verified marketplace is one click away with search by port, service, or trade lane.
