The BV Laytime Calculator has been built on decades of data and client feedback and delivers an unsurpassed combination of intuitive design and demurrage functionality.
BV's groundbreaking SOF AI Copilot applies proprietary OCR, AI, and machine learning technologies to digitize SOFs and automatically recommend exceptions to laytime.
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones: welcome to Audit AI Copilot. Compare two laytime statements from any source, spot differences, and settle claims faster.
Unlock visibility and collaboration in your demurrage book at the vessel, cargo and trade level with the BV Laytime Tracker. Stay on top of demurrage claim status and demurrage P&L.
Don't just listen to us—listen to our happy customers!
Great, very straightforward, easy to use, just a breeze, really good...you can see that this has been made by Laytime specialists.
“During Covid the workload was so high I would have died were it not for your software”
Speechless.
We have used the system for more than fifteen years. We save an enormous amount of money, amount of time and we avoid mathematical errors. Demurrage can cost $70-80,000 a day so the system will pay for itself many times over by ensuring correct calculations.
When you see so many counterparts using the program, including owners, you feel safe in relying on it.
It is a wonderful system - by using the B&V software our calculations are easily understood and accepted by our biz partners because they know how the calculations were made.
This industry has talked about digitization for so long, its nice to finally see someone actually doing it.
Demurrage typically results from inefficiencies during cargo operations, such as:
Congestion at ports
Delays in customs clearance
Incomplete documentation
Inaccurate or late Notice of Readiness (NOR) submission
BV enables chartering and operations teams to:
Digitize and standardize incoming cargo documents
Automatically calculate laytime and demurrage
Reduce claim turnaround time
Improve accuracy and compliance
