Operating as part of the Marcura group
We operate under the Marcura group, which offers eight comprehensive software solutions to help streamline maritime processes. Established in 2001, Marcura has over 650 customers worldwide and over 800 team members who trust our innovation and continuous solutions development.
DA-Desk was the first product launched by Marcura in 2001 and has since become a staple part of Marcura’s product offering.
Some of the world’s largest vessel operating companies have been with us right from the beginning because we continue to respond to customer requests, tweaking our software to offer as much value as possible for our customer base.
At Marcura, when designing a solution, we ask ourselves:
- How can this process or platform remove time-consuming, repetitive work from those on the frontline?
- Can it deliver relevant, timely and accessible business intelligence to make better-informed decisions?
- Will it, with subject matter experts and industry data, deliver truly innovative solutions that reduce costs?
- Can it deliver increased compliance as an embedded process?
Since 2001, these questions have been met and answered with all of our products, that are founded on the principles of compliance, independence, transparency and efficiency.
