Strong recaps and charterparties are essential for successfully fixing freight. They set out each party’s roles and responsibilities, facilitating smooth, efficient, and compliant maritime trade. Yet traditional ship chartering contract management methods often fall short, leading to costly errors and delays.

Change is needed – and Sea is delivering it with digital contract management solutions. We are setting a new benchmark for contract management best practices for the shipping industry.
