Why ship-agents use PORTDA

Procurement that runs at vessel speed

You're already paying for delays — demurrage, missed tides, hold-ups at the berth. PORTDA gets you a usable quote before the email chain even forms.

  • One inbox for pilotage, towage, bunkering, survey, chandling & more
  • Vendor compliance docs (DGS, GST, insurance) verified before they can quote
  • Milestone-based payment plans with automated UTR reconciliation
  • Negotiate, approve and track jobs live — no email back-and-forth
  • Audit trail & GST-compliant invoices for every transaction
  • Free to sign up & post — you only pay vendors directly

Smart vendor matching

Every vendor's DGS licence, GST, IRS certs and P&I insurance is verified on PORTDA before they can quote on your post.

Live job tracking

Watch every milestone — pilot boarded, lines made fast, bunker complete — in real time. Photos & sign-offs attached.

We used to spend two days getting quotes for a single pilotage job. With PORTDA, we get four quotes within 30 minutes and the job is invoiced and paid before the vessel sails. It's changed how we operate.
