It's great to see some of our DA-Desk team in Manila, enjoying a Korean-inspired dinner. As part of our global footprint, we have 70 team members located in the Philippines to assist all of our Marcura customers and meet new prospects. In addition, we have another 8 offices around the world, and 728 team members.

Ardmore Shipping Corporation has been a DA-Desk customer for the last five years. In recent chat with Ardmore’s Director of Commercial Operations, Robert Gaina, he explained how they benefit from efficiency and savings, safety checks, compliance, and VMS integration.

Giuseppe Oliveri, Fleet Manager at d’Amico Shipping Group, chats to us about the last 17 years using DA-Desk. Giuseppe explains how DA-Desk helps him every day, "I know that DA-Desk teams are specialised – so for d’Amico we have our own dedicated DA-Desk team working for us on DAs, reports, amongst others – which saves us a lot of money." He chats about the savings and efficiencies he's seen with the reporting, preferential supplier agreements, checking of applicable discounts, and DA checks.

Walter Wildoer, Managing Director of Seatrade, tells us how DA-Desk enabled them to break free from "piles of paper and yellow sticky notes" to a 95% paperless situation in their DA process.

Euronav's Captain Vasileios talks about their use of the MarTrust e-wallet. He said, “The app is so easy to use that no special skills or guidance was needed. “I use it every day in my daily purchases – in fact, there was one time when a transfer was completed in under an hour.”
