Regain control of your vessel waste management expenses.

Waste procedures change from port to port, and once cargo operations finish every hour at the berth counts. NauticCycle connects your vessel with certified waste management companies across every port on your route - and lets you compare their offers before you arrive.

Built for vessel owners, superintendents, ship agents and waste management companies.

Cargo is off. Nobody can tell you when the waste goes.

Waste management systems, practices and procedures differ from port to port worldwide. Every hour at the berth counts, and these are the three answers a vessel usually cannot get.

  • 02 Which forms this port wants, and in what language
  • 03 What it will cost before the invoice arrives

A browser, anywhere at sea

A marketplace and a communication hub, in one browser tab.

NauticCycle connects vessels and shipping companies with certified waste management providers in ports worldwide - and not only within one port, but across many ports along the ship's route.

It is not replacing the system that already works. It makes it accessible to everyone involved.

Every request follows the MARPOL waste declaration

  • I Oil and oily residues
  • II Noxious liquid substances
  • IV Sewage
  • V Garbage
  • VI Scrubber residues, ODS
  • Every port on the route

    Post once. Certified companies in each port of call answer - offshore too, where it is permitted.

  • One thread, every party

    The selected company talks directly to the nominated agent, superintendent or vessel.

  • Documents and volumes

    Receipts and confirmed volumes land where whoever pays can actually see them.

Two minutes on how a discharge gets arranged.

Post your parameters, take the best offer, and keep the agent, the documents and the invoicing on the same operation.

From a posted request to a closed operation.

NauticCycle brings every party - vessels, shipowners, superintendents, ship agents and waste management companies - onto one synchronized process.

  1. 01

    Post your request

    Waste type, volume, collection requirements, your vessel's route and the ports you're interested in. One request covers the whole voyage, not a single call.

  2. 02

    Compare offers

    Verified waste management companies respond with price, availability and conditions. Every offer stays confidential between you and the company that made it.

  3. 03

    Select the best solution

    Discharge where it suits the voyage, not where the paperwork forces you - and nominate the company that fits the call.

  4. 04

    Complete and track

    The nominated company works directly with the vessel, superintendent and ship agent. Documents, confirmed volumes and invoices stay on the operation, so the payer can follow every step.

Companies bid without seeing each other's prices. The owner, the vessel and the nominated agent see them all.

And where the discharge happens

  • Current port while you are alongside
  • Next port of call on the leg ahead
  • Destination port at the end of the voyage
  • Offshore in transit where it is available

The right service in every port your vessel calls at.

One platform, a different view for every party.

Everyone involved in a discharge works from the same operation - each with the screen their job actually needs.

Set the budget, approve the offer and watch spend per vessel and per port across the fleet. Every port call, what it cost and the paperwork behind it.
