Owners Protecting Agent (OPA)

When a charterer appoints the port agent, owners still need someone accountable to them alone. As Owners Protecting Agent, we attend the vessel, verify laytime and cargo figures, monitor charter party compliance, and flag discrepancies before they become disputes — giving owners a direct, independent line of sight into every port call.

What's included

• Independent attendance at loading and discharge operations
• Laytime and statement of facts verification against the charter party
• Cargo quantity and condition monitoring on owners' behalf
• Early notification of delays, disputes or off-hire events
• Direct reporting line to owners, separate from the charterer's agent
