PortsDirect is a contract management solutions company that leverages its scale and system so Shipping Operators can realize savings through competitive contracts while vetted suppliers can increase business and promote their quality. PortsDirect negotiates discounted rate agreements with suppliers in exchange for direct exposure to a potentially larger customer base. Effectively, Principals contract directly with suppliers for each port call, utilising rates and discounts negotiated on their behalf by PortsDirect. As an independent facilitator, PortsDirect is a transparent fee-based service that passes on the entire negotiated discount to its customers. Our business model is based on clear principles: focus, transparency, confidentiality and independence.
