Protective Agents are used to supervise port operations when the shipowner or charterer is not the organizing party and when the shipowner or charterer operates in an area in which they are not represented. Protection agents are familiar with the area of operation, customary rates and relevant legal considerations, which puts them on an equal footing with the contracting parties. This prevents theft or reduces the risk of corruption and helps control costs accurately for parties of interest.
Also, protection agents offer financial services, which simplifies the handling of funds for the relevant recipients through a single point of contact.
