In an almost entirely globalised industry, shipping and logistics providers rely on a number of international factors including currency exchange.

Every journey within the shipping industry plays its part in the international supply chain and relies on cross-border relations as well as a number of interaction points. That’s why movements in the currency markets can not only affect your profits and bottom line, but also the day to day operations of every vessel.

How foreign exchange can affect the shipping and logistics industries

Every shipping provider may be required to make a number of international payments to pay for a single journey, from crew salaries to on-board supplies and docking fees. 

All of these expenditures must be settled at different points before and after the journey, while local port authorities may even have different payment procedures. This could result in a typical day requiring you to make multiple payments in different currencies to pay for your vessels around the world.

With this in mind, we’re delighted to offer a flexible and cost-effective currency exchange solution that works to save you both time and money.
