Why should I subscribe to Global Ports?

Global Ports is, as far as we know, the most comprehensive database of port information that includes proforma port disbursements available to the dry cargo shipping industry. By having this information available 24/7 it enables users to assess new business more efficiently or advise clients and principals in greater depth. By having up to date information it also ensures that one is not using out of date historical information and also reduces the need to contact local port agents who may be unavailable at the time one needs to contact them.
