A live operations board for laycan risk scoring, SOF-driven claims, and settlement modeling. Catch exposure before it becomes a write-off.
Atlantic Voyager crossed laycan breach threshold. NOR tender disputed.
Solstice Trader discharge rate trending 18% below fixture warranty.
Pre-ops model flags congestion risk at Fujairah for next fixture window.
Meridian Star claim draft ready. Est. settlement $0 to $12,400.
Most charter parties give 90 days to submit a claim. Once it passes, recovery is forfeited automatically.
Statement of Facts errors get caught in counterparty review instead of internal review, weakening your negotiating position.
Reversible laytime, deductible weather periods, and once-on-demurrage clauses get missed until the vessel is already accruing.
Ops, claims, and commercial teams work from separate files. By the time exposure rolls up, the vessel has sailed.
A single missed deductible period doesn't just cost one claim. It resets the baseline every ops analyst uses for the next fixture with that terminal.
Underclaimed demurrage isn't a rounding error on a P&L. On LNG and VLCC fixtures, it's the margin.
Built for the desks that carry laytime risk on every fixture.
Every active shipment is scored critical, elevated, or optimal against laycan and laytime terms, with live dollar exposure attached.
| Vessel | Risk | Exposure |
|---|---|---|
Atlantic Voyager Ras Laffan → Rotterdam |
Critical | $318,400 |
Nord Halcyon Fujairah → Ningbo |
Elevated | $94,200 |
Meridian Star Sabine Pass → Zeebrugge |
Optimal | $0 |
Solstice Trader Houston → Antwerp |
Elevated | $41,850 |
Run optimistic, likely, and pessimistic scenarios against a candidate charter party before initializing a shipment, so terminal performance and laytime terms get priced into the decision.
Statement of Facts events are logged and time-stamped against the running laytime clock, with deductible periods flagged automatically as they're entered.
Once a voyage closes, Demurrage Defender drafts the claim directly from the SOF timeline, recommends a negotiating posture, and models a realistic settlement range based on comparable claims.
Every claim is checked against its source SOF events for gaps, timing conflicts, and unsupported deductions before it goes out. Reviewers accept, escalate, or dispute line items in one workflow.
Benchmark demurrage cost and cycle time by terminal and counterparty, and rank berths by historical performance. Every fixture decision backed by your own claims history.
Every active shipment lands on the operations board, with laytime terms and SOF events logged as they happen.
Laycan risk scoring and the cargo risk monitor flag exposure the moment a vessel trends toward breach.
On voyage close, a claim drafts automatically from the SOF timeline with a recommended negotiating strategy.
Audited, dispute-ready claims go out faster and settle closer to full value.
Ops, claims, and commercial teams managing tanker, LNG, and LPG demurrage exposure run on Demurrage Defender.
