“ Additionally, we offer a range of survey and inspection services for vessels and cargo alike. We assist with marine supply chain services, facilitating the procurement of technical items or consumables needed by the ship by sourcing or arranging delivery onboard the vessel. With our presence in every port, we are well equipped to handle this process. Often the main challenge that shipping companies encounter and we resolve lies in the lastmile delivery where items are transferred to the vessel. Furthermore, our digital solution, World of Ports, grants customers access to all types of port data worldwide, alongside other complementary features. Primarily focused on marine assurance, this platform aids companies in assessing port compatibility for their cargo and ship in specific countries. What allows us to truly differentiate ourselves and add value is that our data is agent-verified, consolidating information from diverse sources into a single, reliable repository verified by our team members,” John elaborates.
