Owner's Protecting Agency (OPA)

Safeguarding Shipowners' Interests When Charterers Appoint the Primary Agent

Oversight & Protection

Independent Verification, Total Peace of Mind

When charterers control the port agency selection, shipowners risk exposure to over-calculated local disbursements, unchallenged port logs (SOF), and secondary husbandry responses. Sanad Shipping Egypt acts as your strictly defensive line.

Our dedicated OPA service monitors the charterer's agent continuously. We scrutinize the proforma accounts, legally counter-verify laytime metrics, and smoothly handle owner-side husbandry—such as tech repairs, master supply logistics, or medical rotations—independently of commercial cargo cargo strains.

DA Counter-Audit

Rigorous independent parsing of the charterer's PDA/FDA structures to eliminate redundant items.

SOF Supervision

Direct master advisory and Statement of Facts verification to block unearned laytime delays.

Independent Funding

Separate, clear accounting for owner-side port charges, cutting out charterer margins.

Immediate local operational tracking focused exclusively on your vessel's technical safety.
