Port call operations
Take command of every port call
DA Control & Financial Oversight
Every port cost verified, visible, and controlled
Disbursement Accounts are one of the biggest sources of financial leakage and manual workload in shipping. Our platform embeds DA validation directly into the operational workflow, linking every charge to a service, event, and approval.
Turn port call data into clear decisions
Beacon52 transforms operational and financial data into trusted, real-time insights. From turnaround times and waiting hours to cost per call and predictability, KPIs update automatically across fleets, ports, agents, and regions.
Multi-party Collaboration
One workflow for every stakeholder
Every port call involves ships, agents, terminals, charterers, and office teams, often across different organisations and time zones. Beacon52 replaces fragmented email chains with structured collaboration in one secure workspace.
Fits into your existing system landscape
Beacon52 connects seamlessly with your Voyage Management Systems, ERP, and finance tools through open APIs. Operational and financial data stays synchronized, without manual re-entry or reconciliation.
