Making port calls easier.

Digital Port Clearance

Port by port worldwide, digital port clearance is becoming the new standard.

Every minute in port has a price tag. From Singapore to Rotterdam, authorities are standardizing digital port clearance to cut delays and tighten compliance. Clearance often takes 2–5 hours and repeats the same data again and again. Getting it right saves real money: approx. $2,000 for every hour alongside on a large deep-sea vessel.

With tools provided by CFARER, your port calls are ready for this new standard: faster submissions, fewer errors, and clean alignment with emerging digital rules.

Two solutions to match your trading patterns

Two routes
One destination

Every trade has its rhythm. No matter if short-sea runs or deep-sea crossings, the goal stays the same: faster, safer port calls.

CFARER offers two digital clearance routes. Pick what fits the way you sail.

Port Mate - For short-sea operators

Low bandwidth. Quick to use. Built for everyday calls.

Coverage: 6,000+ ports (EMEA focus)
What it handles: Pre-arrival forms with guidance
Workflow: Send clean packs to your agent
Data: Reuse details, minimal retyping
Best when: Tight schedules, patchy internet

Navigator Port - For deep-sea fleets

Full compliance for complex routes.

Coverage: 13,000+ ports worldwide
What it handles: Pre-arrival forms with guidance
Adds: Port guides, Work & Rest hours, e-logs, etc.
Workflow: End-to-end consistency across voyages
Best when: Multiple ports, larger crews

Slow clearance costs time, money, compliance and crew energy

Every minute at port has a cost

The cost of delay adds up fast:

~ $2,000 / hour on a large deep-sea vessel (~$45–50k per day)
One missed window can push you back hours
Fines for wrong or late papers add up fast
Add-on risks: agent rework, lost slot exposure, crew fatigue

A few port calls with Digital Port Clearance pays back

That’s why maritime professionals worldwide trust CFARER
