PortDA

A Virtual Agency Network which connects Cargo Owners, Ship Owners and Ship Agents globally.

PortDA is an operating Virtual Agency Network controlling more than 50% of the general cargo shipping business between China and GCC; and now the plan is to be a global player.

There are more than 53,000 merchant ships trading internationally (statista.com). In addition, according to the World Shipping Council, the average ship makes about 2 port calls per week. As a result, the market size is 53,000 x 2 port calls per week x 4 weeks x 12 moths = 5,088,000 port calls per year and this number is increasing every year.

Time is a very important factor in shipping business and for any ship owner to get the cargo business he/she needs to calculate the cost of shipment and offer a freight rate to the cargo owner as soon as possible to avoid losing the business to another faster competitor. However, traditional port agents takes up to 24 hours to send the port expenses to the ship owner because of the time difference between countries and slow calculation process.

PortDA.com has created a revolutionary Port Dues Calculator which provides port costs in few seconds for major ports of more than 100 countries globally.
