Why Demurrage Happens

It's not bad luck. It's lack of visibility.

The Traditional Approach

1
Vessel departs at full speed
No visibility into port congestion or berth availability
2
Arrives to find berth occupied
15 other vessels already waiting at anchorage
3
Waits 3-7 days at anchor
Burning fuel, paying crew, losing charter days
4
Demurrage bill arrives
$150,000 - $500,000 for a single port call

The Atracai Approach

1
Check berth predictions before departure
Know estimated berth availability 48-72h ahead
2
Optimize voyage speed
Slow steam to arrive when berth is ready
3
Arrive just-in-time
Berth is ready or wait is minimal (hours, not days)
4
Zero or minimal demurrage
Plus: saved fuel from slower voyage
