In shipping, time is cargo. Yet, across the globe, a hidden tide of lost hours has quietly stolen value from operators, charterers, and their customers.
Between paperwork, manual approvals, and unforeseen delays, ship operations have long faced an invisible foe: operational inefficiency.
A Sea of Lost Time
Picture this: over 200,000 port calls processed in just one year. That’s the scale at which Marcura operates.
But behind each port call lies a troubling reality. When even a couple of hours slip away per vessel due to administrative lag or inefficient coordination, the losses multiply fast.
Multiply those lost hours across the world’s merchant fleet, and the result is staggering. By optimising over 200,000 port calls during a year, Marcura has helped reclaim more than 800,000 hours for ship operators.
That’s time that would have vanished. Instead, it’s been transformed into voyage potential, reduced demurrage, increased efficiencies and real competitive advantage.
