How a call runs
SOP / APPOINTMENT TO FDANominate
Send vessel name, ETA and the job list — bunkers, crew, spares, CTM. WhatsApp or email, any hour.
PDA & funds
Proforma DA within two hours. Funds remitted before arrival; the call is planned to the tide and the tariff.
Attendance
Clearance filed, launches running, crew moving, spares on board. You get position updates, not silence.
FDA
Final DA within days of sailing — every line receipted, any balance refunded. No padding, ever.
A small agency, on purpose
Straitside Marine handles owner's matters calls at the Port of Singapore — the bunkers-only stops, crew changes and spares deliveries where a day saved at anchorage is real money. Because MPA's port dues step up sharply after the first day, we plan every call to get your ship in, served and out inside the window.
You deal with the person doing the work. The principal who nominates at midnight gets the same person on the launch at dawn — no call centre, no handover between shifts, no "our colleague will revert".
We keep the account honest because it is the whole business: funds in advance against a tight PDA, spend documented as it happens, FDA with receipts attached. Owners forgive a small refund; they never forgive a top-up.
Nominate a vessel
Send the vessel name, ETA Singapore and what she needs. A proforma disbursement account comes back within two hours — any hour, any day.
