Last week, the MarTrust team held an informative webinar on Sending Money Home: Best Practices for Seafarers.

Sea, the intelligent marketplace for fixing freight, has announced the agreed purchase of MarDocs -  a recap and charterparty management platform -  from Marcura, alongside a new strategic partnership between the two companies.

Join MarTrust's Senior Vice President – Digital Financial Solutions, Xavier George and General Manager, David Lord in this session where you’ll see a short demo of MarTrust’s payment platform for companies and our E-Wallet app for seafarers, which helps them manage their salary and make payments when away from home.

With digital transformation now at full speed in the maritime industry, Marcura’s solutions have gained traction in Japan. Marcura set up its Tokyo office in 2013, and now many leading shipping companies have adopted Marcura’s solutions. While visiting Marcura’s office in Japan, Hans-Christian Mordhorst, Marcura’s CCO, was interviewed by Kaiji Press, a leading Japanese maritime daily newsletter, about the company’s current situation and future plans.

We all understand the importance of going digital, especially in the payments business. Nothing new! But when MarTrust decided to define what ‘digital’ means, they decided to take a good look at who the customer was and their needs.

On 16th June 2022, MOL Drybulk Ltd created the 2 millionth port call in DA-Desk. Last week, Hans-Christian Mordhorst, Marcura's Group Chief Commercial Officer visited their office to hand over a celebration plate to Mr Kazuhiko Kikuchi, President, and team.

DA-Desk uses AIS data (the automatic identification system that uses transceivers on ships to monitor vessels positions) to track a vessel's frequency of calls in case a discount or rebate applies.
