The challenge

On a CAPESIZE C5 voyage, the charterer disputed the laytime statement, arguing that weather delays at the loading port should count against the owner. With conflicting noon reports and statement-of-facts entries, the owner faced a roughly $12,000 demurrage write-off.

The approach

NAVGreen’s live monitoring had been recording the voyage continuously — AIS track, noon reports, and NOAA-verified weather — and writing key events to a tamper-proof evidence chain. When the dispute arose, the laytime timeline could be reconstructed event by event, with each weather window independently verifiable.

The results

~$12,000demurrage recovered on a single voyage after the evidence chain reversed the disputed laytime claim.
30 days → instantsettlement cycle compressed once the verified record removed back-and-forth over the facts.
“We stopped arguing about what happened and started settling on what the data proved.”
