Turn every voyage dispute into a claim you can collect.

Axiome reads the charter party, voyage documents and correspondence, builds the calculation and strongest supporting case, and drives each amount from first deduction to settled cash.

  • Hire deductions & off-hire
  • Demurrage & laytime
  • Performance claims

Every deduction gets a case: calculation, evidence, contractual position, next action. Every one tracked to resolution.

Why now

Disputed deductions and claims are the hardest work in voyage finance.

Hire deductions

Charterer deductions from hire payments that require a contractual response or challenge

Demurrage & laytime

Delay compensation disputes when ports exceed the charter-party time allowance

Performance claims

Speed and consumption underperformance assessments and the contractual argument behind them

Off-hire disputes

Contested off-hire periods where the vessel's availability and the owner's liability are in question

€4.5M
