For dry-bulk operations & demurrage teams

Laytime, computedexactly.

Layline reads the Statement of Facts and runs the full laytime computation — NOR validity, SHEX/SHINC windows, weather interruptions, reversibility, demurrage and despatch — deterministically, to the minute and the cent. No spreadsheet drift, no midnight rounding arguments.

Send one SoF from a disputed voyage — the audited statement comes back in 15 minutes. No signup, no deck, no call.

How the audit works

One document in. An audit-ready statement back in 15 minutes.

01 — Send

Email one Statement of Facts

Pick a voyage you already settled — ideally one that was disputed. Scanned, messy, handwritten remarks: all fine. We sign a mutual NDA first if you need one.

02 — Compute

The engine runs the charter terms

AI extraction turns the document into UTC-native events; a deterministic decimal engine then applies the terms — WIBON, SHEX/SHINC, weather deductions, reversibility, despatch — per the BIMCO Laytime Definitions 2013. The math never touches a floating point.

03 — Compare

Check it against your own figure

You get back a statement with every interval accounted for — the event ledger, the excepted windows, the computation, the settlement. If it matches your number, you have independent confirmation. If it doesn’t, one of us just found money.

Pricing

One seat. One number.

$1,000/ month

  • Unlimited voyages, computations and SoF extractions
  • The human-in-the-loop worksheet: verify every AI-extracted event before it counts
  • Audit-ready laytime statements your counterparty can check line by line
  • Direct support from the person who built the engine

A single recovered despatch claim or defeated demurrage overcharge typically covers the seat for a year. Start with the free audit — decide on the evidence.

Security

Your SoFs are processed, not kept.

Uploaded documents are processed in memory and discarded — never written to disk, logs, or our database. No training on your data. All traffic over TLS. Mutual NDA before any live document. We publish exactly how this works, including our processor’s 30-day retention window — no vague enterprise-security theatre.

The next disputed voyage is the perfect test.

Email one Statement of Facts. Fifteen minutes later you’ll have an independently computed, BIMCO-grounded laytime statement to hold against your own.
