Online review, approval and signing of documents dramatically reduces the turnaround time for documents, which in turn reduces the time vessels are delayed waiting for original documentation.

Due to the nature of electronic documentation, masters, agents and other document signors can digitally sign full sets and even multiple sets of eDocs with one click. Alternatively, eB/Ls can often be signed after a vessel has sailed, further eliminating hurdles to a vessel leaving a loading port.

The benefits of the ESS-Databridge™ mean that time spent dealing with documentation can be reduced to just one hour from the current two to 5 hours.
